I dont believe BB4 was boring because of the housemates. After the bad press BB got because of the behavour of certain housemates in BB3. Endemol and the producers tried to give the press what they wanted.......a mature well behaved group of housemates.
I wonder if Cam or Rayread this post, could they tell us if
they were told by the producers that they didn't want a rerun of BB3 and wanted the bb4 group to be themselfs...but, refrain from any screaming matches, or nasty backstabbing sessions............
The reason I ask the question of Cam or Ray is. This year it looks like Endemol are changing their choice of contestant from last years group of well rounded individuals. And giving the viewer want they seem to want
Not in my case a group of hysterical, exhibitionist.....

We weren't specifically told to "be" like anything apart from ourselves. I think we were somehow aware (perhaps through tv or press) that the producers wanted a more harmonious household than that of BB3 when they experienced the divisive effects of the rich side/poor side experiment. We were delighted to be friends in there, it's meant a lot to us I would say.
