Pete, 25, claimed that the programme has dropped in quality since his own series aired in 2006, and confessed that he has not been following the current Celebrity Hijack show.
"I'm not watching Big Brother. Most people I've spoken to think it's quite boring," Pete told the Daily Star.
"BB7 was wicked but they followed it with the celeb series with Jade Goody. I didn't like it because of the racism towards Shilpa Shetty. I expected change to come with BB8 but it didn't happen. It didn't make me go 'wow' and there was another racist comment. I was a bit upset by the whole thing and it has put me off BB altogether."
Pete made his comments at the last day of open auditions for Big Brother 9 in London. He had been invited to chat to potential housemates and offer tips on how to impress the production team.
