Half a reboot is not enough.

BB's producers ought to admit they messed up big time with the casting, throw the HMs all out, and start over with a completely new batch.

This week we'll see 4 evicted and at least 1 thrown out, so we'll already be about half way there, and none of the others are great HMs. Far from it. So dump them all.

I think the casting is just fine. What or whome would be better.

Axing the entire show seems like a much obvious and straightforward solution at this point.

They should just do a re-launch tbh. Timebomb us back to May 12th and start over.

Put Katie Hopkins back in the house on her own for the next eight weeks and never explain why.

Thats wot scares me, there a bunch of numptys

How am I suppose to know who would be better?

It's not like I work for BB or have seen who auditioned.

But if the casting is so fine, why will at least 5 of them be evicted or removed some time this week? They clearly aren't doing what's needed from Endemol/C5's POV, and many viewers have been unhappy with them as well. The ratings are down, and BB's been interfering again and again to create "drama". Ridiculous levels of dislike are already settling in for some HMs, making the forum an increasingly poisonous place, and none of the HMs are generating much enthusiasm.

Besides, if they ALL go, BB can't be accused of favouritism or of having a 'chosen one'.

There was nothing wrong with the people they put in to begin with. The HM's aren't the problem, it's the show that is the problem.

I'll second that! I am also feeling BBOTS needs to get Emma back, tooo much Rylan! Overkill

I think there was a lot wrong with the people they put in, though the show has been a problem too.

The thought of any of the current HMs winning £150,000 is sickening.

Thanks for the response Veri. I still don't see who would be better. I wasn't being contentious when I asked whome YOU think would be better, what characertistics you would find more appealling etc ...it was a genuine question.

I prefer Rylan over Emma, her voice is too high pitched, it gave me a headache.

The show NEEDS people to make it succeed however without the right people it won't. In my opinion this year they have the wrong people

Agree, they haven't dared to let the show breathe at all.

If this became a thing then people would be demanding clear-outs during every series and we'd never finish one. lol

Horses for courses, we seem to be opposite on a few things

Without knowing what you want, why do you want to change them all?

It's a good question, and I think BB has been struggling to find good HMs for a few years now. Just consider how poor some of the new ones were in bb11.

However, at least for the initial bb11 selection the producers made an effort to get HMs who wouldn't normally apply, and I think that if we leave out the later, "duvet" part of bb11, it was a pretty good series. Unfortunately, once they had the unusual HMs in there, BB didn't seem to know what to do with them and just ran the same old sort of show.

I didn't say I didn't know what I wanted, but starting over could be a good option in any case, even if the results didn't especially suit me. I think that starting over would have a good chance of getting a better set of HMs than keeping half of this bunch and adding 4 new.

BB has added new HMs in a group before, and I don't think it's ever worked well.

It's also likely to bring in a large amount of outside knowledge of what viewers think of the existing HMs and the new HMs may also have agendas based on that as well. That's not the sort of BB I want to watch.

The four new #BBUK housemates will feature a familiar face, a science student, a male stripper and a webcam model.

Keep Sarah!
The others can do one!

I feel the lack of live feed means we can't properly get to know the Hm's and see them as full human beings rather than stereotypes or one-dimensional characters. This lack of connection means we can't empathise or assess the HM's correctly.
I also feel the show concentrates too much on conflict and creating divides. The fun factor is gone and also really nasty people have been cast the last few years, some even winning and that puts people off.We see the editing hide the behaviour of some and vilify others unfairly.Bots is a disgrace the way it maligns HM's.Let the Hm's interact naturally and stop casting fake actresses and actors,e.g Eileen we want real people.

The show really is going tits up producers have hit the panic button by evicting 4 housemates to replace them with new ones and now Aaron has been ejected for exposing himself clearly they didnt do the pych test on him

They're already ditching half of them under the guise of a "twist", so either get rid of the rest or cancel this farce.

Thanks missus...x

It looks like the science student and the male stripper might be the same person, with the one left out in the tweet being "A part Sri Lankan bisexual who is a singer and entertainer whose attitude is ‘flirt with the world and get stuff for free’."
