What a surprise, the Big Brother press juggernaut is rolling and already they are promising the sexiest housemates ever.

Stories like that make me not want to watch the upcoming series. Some of the dullest and least engaging housemates in previous series have been the babes with no personality or the hunks with no brains. Think Ziggy, Imogen, Dale. Would you really want to watch them again for three months?

Personally I’d like to see more quirky housemates. Bring back some geeks like Derek Laud, some quirky girls like Kate Lawler, or some tough guys with a heart like Darnell Swallow. Please oh please don’t inflict on us a summer of braindead ‘hotties’ or wine bottle shagging tarts. I just don’t think I could cope.
