I can't be alone in thinking that this year they have chosen contestants using a pro forma based on previous "popular" housemates. The token older person. The funny gay one. The annoying slapper. The geezer.
I find this really annoying, so here is my (not entirely serious) suggestion for next year.
Scrap the auditions.
They should just issue application forms which would be thrown in a tombola style bin then 12 people could be picked at random. Could put Male or female on the envelope and separate them to ensure an even mix in the house.
Then put the 12 basically unseen people into the house.
