Big Brother is at it's best when....

[Beverley]

... I'm laughing with the housemates, not at them.

For me, that is when BB is at it's best, I would be interested to hear if anyone else agree's or disagree's.

[Merry Mockmas]

I agree, although I do love to have one car crash Housemate.

[Jords]

I love laughing if its at them or with them :D

Big Brother in concept isn't meant to be a just a comedy, that makes it light fluff for the very young.

I think it's a tricky balance - too fluffy is just as boring as too angsty. Excluding the normal, fun moments is just as slanted as excluding all the conflict.
