I agree Video And I would really like some without agents ...but I won't hold my breath  

Totally agree about the agents thing...civilian HM's should never have agents.  

I agree Someone posted some clips of BB9 the other day and it all looked so natural compared to the staged stuff we get now !

I agree with both of you.

No wannabees, nobody who has an agent and no fame hungry idiots please.

Octogenarians please

I've told you before - I'm busy...

Me too ...

If I see one more game of Spin The Bottle im going to smash my TV in.

"Big Brother 2014 and the housemates play spin the bottle".

  Although, the woman in the middle I certainly still would.

I don't know whether to be worried or relieved, but that thought crossed my mind too.

I never thought I'd say this but ...............I;m starting to prefer CBB to regular BB. First off - it's all so much more 'staged' now and I kind of accept that with regard to Celebrities - when it's 'normal' folk I expect and want 'normal/not manipulated' situations. Secondly - for many years now a high percentage of 'normal' BB contestants are on the fringes of celebrity in some way - either models, PR or some sort of media noteriety.

I know it's time to move on and accept it for what it is but .......i yearn for the old days.

As for older contestants I'm OK up to about fifty - any older than that and I'm afraid they bore me a bit. I never got the Lesley Braine love 'I'm sniffing my mattress' and all that. I'm convinced if she'd have stayed in any longer she wouldn't have the hero worship she tends to get. I didn't like her AT ALL. Ever in the minority - I think I was the only one who PMSL and let out a resounding cheer when Seany pulled her duvet off. 

A good mix is all we need

A disperate group thrown together

A bit more back to basics - a bit more evil BB

Less wanna be's - less luxury and lazing around - less silly secret tasks

More earning your right to vote

More competition for privileges

It's clashing with the World Cup, so I might opt out a bit.

We can all hope but I expect it will be the usual suspects shimmying through the door.  There will be someone with a silly hat and someone with an even sillier name (or a normal name but with a silly spelling) and, of course, more than one who will announce that they are 'crazy', 'mad for it' and declaring that they are 'going to stir it up in there something chronic'.

Hurrah for cricket and a 'Wallander' box-set, say I

It's as good as an excuse as any to make a weaning attempt - coupled with Wimbledon this could be the year to break the addiction

  So true

I'm very much of the mind that it is far too stage managed now, BB has lost it's roots, especially after it went to Channel 5 where it became more tabloid and a vehicle to make cash. I think we have seen that Channel 5 will go to some lengths to make headlines and push the limits of OFCOM.

My weaning started a few years ago and I do find I go a couple of days without watching, that gap may become larger now as the FIFA World Cup is on and I don't have a recorder.

I'll try to catch some of the opening nights! daft idea.

Expect most of the HM's to have already filmed their C5 magazine adverts.

It's all got very predictable hasn't it, Roger?  No doubt there will also be someone who thinks that pretending to be stunningly ignorant, thick etc will appeal to the viewers and be their passport to success. (Ah, bless - he/she thinks that Hitler wrote 'Hamlet'. So cute. Let's keep them in)

You mean he didn't

...are you on the production team Madame?   

They have a production team?!   I always imagined that it was just some old chap in plimsolls and a grubby raincoat, covered in fag-ash that put it together

Prepare yourself, Rexi, you're going in!
