Viewers aren’t impressed with reality stars appearing on ‘civilian’ Big Brother
They took to Twitter to blast a line-up with ‘more forgotten Z list reality stars’ than Celebrity Big Brother
Big Brother appears to have abandoned its ‘take some every day people off the street and lock them up in a house with cameras’ ethos by casting a number of reality TV stars as housemates.
It’s safe to say Big Brother fans are NOT happy about it.
As the line-up – featuring Ex on The Beach and Ibiza Weekender stars – was revealed, viewers began scratching their heads.
When it's supposed to be a civilian series but they fill the house with people who've already done reality shows.. #BBUK. #BBUKLaunch. pic.twitter.com/RYp5QjzSbd

Why has half of #exonthebeach gone in #bigbrother – thought they were meant to be nobodies no reality tv stars? ?

Some weren’t sure what show they were watching.
So big brother is basically people who have already been on a reality show and didnt get enough fame so theyve come on this? #BigBrother

Others thought it all a little too familiar.
Even 'Normal' Big Brother is more like forgotten Z list reality TV celebrity #BigBrother these days!??#BBUK #BBUKLaunch #BigBrotherUK @bbuk

And when some housemates revealed they’d actually been approached to appear on the show rather than applying, there was sheer exasperation.
Tom and Lotan didn't apply for Big Brother? They got messaged on Facebook? ???#bbuk #bigbrother pic.twitter.com/J6ASnexN8v

One major problem with #bigbrother is now it's no longer us normal folk they get people off reality tv.Takes away everything the tv show was

It was all just too much for some, who longed for the Big Brother of old. The days of Craig, Anna and Nasty Nick seemed like a long forgotten dream.
This is getting on my tits now. Where's all the normal people that haven't appeared on reality TV before??? #bringbackthenorms #bigbrother

I miss the old style big brother when ordinary people went in. Now its full of wannabe reality stars, CHANGE IT BACK #BBUK #bigbrother

Why can’t the civilian, non-celeb #BigBrother @bbuk just be full of civilian, non-celebs? Less of the reality show rejects! ? #BigBrother19

RIP Ye Olde Civilian Big Brother. We hardly knew ye – but we’ll never ever ever forget you and the Welsh man who learned to boil an egg during his time in the house.
Remember when #BigBrother used to have normal people in there lk Glyn who cooked an egg for the very 1st time now its all ex reality stars ?
