do you think the next cbb will be toned down with less provocative guests or more?

Surely the next logical progression is to have the likes of Rolf Harris, Bill Cosby, Mike Tyson, OJ Simpson, Woody Allen and Phil Spector in there, with maybe Oscar Pistorius guesting and getting immunity all the way to the final.

It is all about the mix of HM's that make a good show. My biggest complaint about CBB16 was that there were too many explosive characters in the house which upset the balance. I like a bit of fun and don't need HM's that don't listen and blow up just because someone looked sideways at them.

CBB 13 was a good example of a good mix of HM's there were arguments but they were also fun and little bit naughty. They also knew when it was a piss take and knew when not to take things too seriously.

We don't even know what Sherrie was like in the house. All the HMs spoke highly of her and yet we saw nothing of what she did. The focus of the show was the mentally unstable and the neurotic HMs. All the others might as well not have been there.Austin and Farrah belonged in strait jackets not on a TV show. Members of the public used to pay money to enter Bedlam and laugh at the lunatics' rantings. BB is getting like that.

Left to their own devices, I'm sure they'd continue to troll us by doing all the same things that viewers get the most het up about and which light up social media. Cos that's what they do...research what we like the least, then repeat it.”

Since Frow "loved" Perez Hilton (source), I don't think any line he draws will be in the right place.

Yes, and why weren't any of them cautioned by the police? Is BB able to get special immunity for housemates, or something?

I mean, it puts the BOTS fracas into a different perspective, and also the outrage that's exploded over various lesser incidents in BB history.

It also helps show that BB has never enforced its rules in a fair and impartial way.

The thing is, and I'm far from the only one, if they continue down this sensationalistic path of hideous personalities and constant arguments, they're gonna lose me.

Not even James and Austin in tight pants is going to win me over a second year.

I agree - more ex sports personalities would be good. It has seemed of late to have got stuck in a 'sleazy' theme - underwear models, kiss and tell, sex chat line girls, porn stars and the like. I know 'sex' sells but when a house is deluged with sleaze it's a bit ewwwwwwwwwww - IMO.”

They might be staying away from ex sports personalities ever since Evander Holyfield failed to deliver.

Has any sports personality ever NOT failed to deliver?

Whoever did their research there needed a good kick up the backside. They only needed to look at one of Holyfield's interviews to realise that he had no personality. Some idiot probably thought "Oh he's been world champion so he must be really interesting". Holyfield may have been a sporting star but he was definitely not a sports personality.

Well, there was Razor Ruddock.

He was mostly boring but he redeemed himself when he had an argument with Speidi.

I remember they paid a lot of money for him as well.

They must've been gutted when he went first lol. I think they paid something like three hundred grand for him, that was a total waste.
