This year C4 seems to want to promote disunity and conflict, a very different ethos to the last two years, in both BB1 & BB2 the housemates always had to work together as a team and the rewards were for the group as a whole, this year since the advent of the bars, they have been working against one other for the privilege of living on the rich side.
It will be interesting to see what will happen when the bars come down. With the housemates back together as one group again there will no longer be anything obvious to compete against each other for, and I hope therefore that C4 will try to bring the housemates together as a more coherent group by giving them some teambuilding tasks.
I somehow suspect that C4 will want to see the conflict continue, but even if they didn’t I think coming up with more teambuilding tasks will be very difficult for C4 to achieve because they have restricted themselves to the type of task that can be prepared and performed during the half hour live show on Saturday nights. This short burst of activity is nowhere near long enough to promote any sort of effective teamwork. I wish that C4 would realize this and change how the tasks are given this year. They could still have the live show on Saturday night, but the housemates could be given the task a few days before and given chance to prepare for it. This would give them more to do, us more to watch and would bring them more together as a team, hoever, as I have already said, I don't think C4 want this.
