Multinational Big Brother could be good

It's like the United Nations in the new Big Brother house, though I'm sure it won't stay united for long.

But what's with the multinational feel to it? There are people from Brazil, Russia, America, Iran, Ireland and India. Don't we have enough freaks in England, then?

And then there's Lisa, the 41-year-old unemployed Brummie lesbian. We can feel so proud.

Actually she's really pretty, with a lovely smile, beneath all those piercings and tattoos. I can't see that Mohican hairdo lasting the course, though.

She is one of several contestants who are unemployed. But why bother getting a job when appearing on Big Brother is a career option in itself?

I can foresee problems with too many names that sound similar - Sophie, Sophia, Saffia. I love Sophia though, she's a bundle of fun. Rodrigo is a cutie too.

Wolverine, sorry Marcus, thinks he's so cool but is just weird. As my friend said, "he's the kind of man I worry about my daughter encountering in the park".

Siavash is Justin Lee Collins crossed with Salvador Dali.

So far, so fascinating. I have a feeling it's going to be a great summer!
