I thought Big Brother was a huge deal in the UKThere aren't any big characters this year (or in Hijack) so people don't really give a crap about this season. There's nothing to draw people in after the CBB5/BB8 fiascoes. Based on a poll of my office, the most the general public knows about BB this year is:
a) There's a blind guy
b) There's a bitch called Alex
All the gimmick housemates aren't very dynamic ("fat Thai woman" and "straight-edge student" aren't actually going to cause any drama). The last time BB was really a huge talking point over here based on the show (and not news about racism) was Shahbaz's breakdown.
Elephant toeMost likely microphone pack toe (one of the guys made a comment how he wasn't "packed like that". No Pete's in this house)
