We have now met the 14 HMs, but have we been delivered the cast we were promised?
15 years separates the youngest and oldest HMs, aged 18 and 33. That seems very undiverse. But, ignoring for now the rumor some of them were hired from talent agencies, they can only cast from those who audition, and I'm sure it would have been something like 19,000 auditionees between 18 and 33, and 1,000 older. So if they cast solely on personality, it's likely 14 were chosen from the younger age range.
Speaking of personality, while they might all have different jobs, beliefs and lifestyles, they are definitely all loud outgoing personalities. Even Bradley who would appear meek is very loud and bubbly. Charne is already complaining everyone talks over each other. I think it's a battle to be heard at the moment.
As far as diversity goes BB08 probably hit the mark more than any other season, with the grandma, the litte person, the UFO nut, Corey Worthington, and others, but then they were accused of stunt casting, and their band of HMs were labelled "freaks" by the media in the first week.
You just can't win!
