They seem to have gone further each series to manufacture what happens - sending in boyfriends and ex's, for instance... or allowing certain rules to be broken, probably with a good idea of what that will help happen. This current series feels very staged. At first it was mice in a trap; now it's mice in a trap with a fat fu**ing cat. I think, ethically, the show has become lapse. If you sent Craig or Helen, or any other old-school housemate, into the house now, they wouldn't recognise the show compared to what it once was. Like everything in this world, it has faded and become a parody of itself, a twisted reflection.
