Yes. From the very first glimpse, they really lacked the X factor.
Since maybe because, we always see mostly common faces/ famous people on BB from the very first season till the last season( BB9), so that is why we are so used to seeing such peopl who we know has the X factor to come to a show like BB. .
Common people in this season is unheard/unknown to us, we dont know anything about them, so that is why we dont feel that much connected.
Lets see whether they really lacks the X factor and is too boring, or whether we can connect well with them and are super entertaining. Only time will tell.
