Supposed to be giving the housemate a chance to explain themselves, give their thoughts, learn the reality behind things that went on behind their back and display their reaction..They shouldn't have to listen to a "psycho- analysis" of themselves for 60% of the interview. Maybe if the interview was 2 hours long there would be time for that, but 30 mins?? Get real.
The old interviews were much better and actually let the housmate get a word in edgeways. Without being assaulted by a supposedly scientific analysis of their behaviour.
I agree that there should be more video footage used, with the housemate asked to react to it, and I don't know why they don't avail of the hour long show on e4 to further exploit this area. The backstabbing is very important to highlight, as well as the evictee's responses.

But you must remember that Big Brother was conceived of as being a social experiment and there was always going to be a psychological and sociological aspect to it. I personally find that part of it extremely fascinating and welcome that added feature to the interview.
