The problem comes when they start negotiating with the hostages.. if they behaved as BB should then they wouldn't have half the problems they do. I don't want my BB to be fair. I want dystopia. I want a repressive totalitarian regime gawd dammit!
Over the years, BB have lost sight of that, as the producers have become more interested in the "light-entertainment" aspect of the show rather than the "human goldfish-bowl" aspect.
The problem is that without that central control, BB is always destined to degenerate into a mess.
I picked-up "The Real BB" about this last year, and in particular their misuse of the term "Zero Tolerance". His response was along the lines of "We're making a TV show, not policing an inner-city." Well fine, but then why use a term like "Zero Tolerance" in the first place?
And if you
are going to use terms like that, why then "enforce-it" with joke punishments like the jail for nomination talk?
FMs have been complaining about weak and inconsistent punishments for years, and it's because BB has ignored us that they've now lost control of the house...
