I don’t agree that the British B’s success is about the “wild twists”. I think that the US version’s “wild twists” are what made it go downhill (the secret couples, America’s players, the enemies from the past, etc). The British version’s success is in its casting – and year after year they cast the most ridiculously psychotic houseguests, and it’s great. The other versions of BB are more “fly on the wall” and they focus less on gimmicks and more on the human interactions.

Allison Grodner has the talent level of a basic cable producer. She won the lottery by landing on a network show, but her lack of imagination (combined with a lame budget–the prize has been $500,000 since 2000) exposes her as someone who will be presenting common reality shows one day. When you see the wild twists in the British BB, and the eye-poppingly designed house in the Australian BB, you start to realize how we Americans are getting ripped off on the infrastructure of this show. Our house is an unchanging box, our twists recycled, our interior design cheap. Grodner’s high-concept twists fizzle within a week or two. The endless censorship of the feeds is a further indignity–as if the Live Feed subscribers don’t watch the CBS show, too! I’ve never been able to tell how much of the lameness is forced on her by CBS, but this interview doesn’t make me think much more of her imagination.

the scripted moments provide structure bs is exactly why I won’t be watching season 10 after watching every other season. I used fast fwd thru about 80 percent of season 9 because of idiocy like “shiela tell me why I should use the veto on you instead of myself” and pink haired guy whose name dissapeared from my memory why should we not vote you out when we’ve spent the last 3 weeks trying to get rid of you? What a waste of precious time and words. Yeah we’re really tuning in to watch someone staring a bunch of photos agonizing over what they want to do when anyone who’s been watching already knows. This whole interview shows she cares nothing about what the fans think when she even brushes off a change that would not effect the show other than to remove a severly annoying waste of time.

Like most BB fans, I suspect some measure of “game tampering” by the producers – it’s pretty obvious imho. The reason they don’t get investigated, is because TECHNICALLY it’s not classified as a game show, it’s “scripted drama” or something close to that.
My one suggestion to improve the show, dump Julie Chen – she’s just a robot who shows up at the last minute and reads a teleprompter. I much rather have someone like past winner Dr. Will ( and sidekick Boogie ) be the host.

It really is more interesting when everyone is a 20-something…..It doesn’t take old people…just some 30’s and 40’s….last year the winner, Adam, was so obscene and vile in one afterdark, streaming video, I was shocked. I didn’t watch the show after seeing him talk about the fat, ugly women he’d tried to sleep with. it was realllllly bad.

Great questions!! Thanks for asking about the food restrictions… I’ve always thought the weekly food competition was a waste of time, when I’d rather be seeing FUNNY moments (or even touching ones) between the houseguests just hanging out.

Diversity? They have two token older people and then everybody else is pretty much twenty something. zzzzz
