The crowd made the interviews unwatchable because we couldn’t actually hear what was being said.

I welcome this.
Yurp.

The rent-a-mob who developed self awareness of themselves being stars of the show post-Grace is one of the thing I hold synonymous with the slow decline of Big Brother. They're free to boo who they want but it still sucked and started to come from a really catty, hyper judgemental place.

Rachel winning 2009 was way better moment than it felt at the time, in hindsight, given how against the grain she felt in terms of that kind of television and where it was going. I remember overzealously thinking "The person that causes the most drama should win it, always, as they gave the most entertainment value" but someone winning just for being a decent person showed that there was a heart to all of this as well.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
