I didn't watch any of the last civilian BB after two episodes because of the overload of sensationalist "wannabe" effect - I'd prefer a clear gap between standard BB and celebrity BB (the latter is pantomime deliberately featuring prancing Zelebs rather than the Helens and Sallies of this world who want to be one).
It's quite possible that I won't watch any more civilian BB, unless they introduce a larger proportion of well-rounded, interesting individuals and fewer "models".
I'm finding this CBB very entertaining. It may (morally small 'm') be for the wrong reasons, but it's superb trash telly.
