ok i just started watching this, already two points of dissatisfaction:

1. why the fuck are there so many weird names?? this worse than antm. i love a couple of ridiculous names in any cast, but this is waaaay overboard

I'm sorry. This isn't fucking Big Brother USA where the most ethnic name they had was Kaysar.
If someone like Beinazir or Siavash is gonna bring the drama, let them.
And don't sit there and try to tell me that Rodrigo or Cairon is a weird name either.. I'm assuming everyone from where you live is Ashley.. Ashlee.. Ashleigh.. or variations of sorts.

2. davina, stop telling us everyone's favourite word

It becomes slim pickings if someone like Angel takes 15 Minutes to get into the house (I'm exadurating, much like your name issue)
I think you'll learn quickly around here. NOBODY QUESTIONS DAVINAs HOSTING STYLE.
Move along.

First of all don't "this isn't Big Brother USA" me and try to act like a snob because you've posted in BBUK threads more than I have, I've been watching BBUK since the first series and I'm from Europe. The point is that Beinazir and Siavash are not necessarily going to bring the drama and many people in this cast seem to be there solely for their names and other superficial oddities that will not improve the show at all. When I see a castlist that is full of, ahem, "original" names, it's generally not a good sign to me because it betrays lazy casting and no real interest in finding complex personalities. Just like when at first glance half the people seem to be dressed in theatrical costume and everyone shrieks "I don't care what people think of me!!" in their audition tapes. It's dodgy.

And yes, I would include Rodrigo and Cairon in the weird names category, but yeah, I guess you've made me see that a large part of the reason for the name thing is that this is a very international BB. Which hopefully works out, but a lot of the non-UK born people on this show in the past have been shamelessly novelty and one-note and I'm not sure if this year is going to change that. Anyway, it's more affected names like Angel and the spelling of Chris as Kris that I have a problem with because while weird names are fun in themselves they're no real indication of a fun personality.

As for the word thing, I recognise they have to fill up time with shit like that at that part of the show, but the fact that they seem to only have asked the same few questions to each housemate (or um non-housemate ) once again shows how much BB has declined due to producer laziness.

ETA: Just saw this

You are a fucktard. Do not attempt to condescend to me. I have been posting in BB threads for longer than you've noticed apparently (maybe I'm boring......or maybe I'm just not an attention-whore fantard like you and the other people who post insightful comments like "I do not like this task" and "Rex <3" twenty times a day) and plenty of people have called Davina out on her bias and stupidity on many occasions, including me. You are wrong. You are shit. Shut the fuck up.
