Preaching to the choir and I've been saying it forever. Part of the problem is that they can't tweak it to work.
Let me explain: BB wants to get the teen girls (and middle-aged horny moms) with the buff hardbody boys. BB ALSO supposes they can create an 'alpha-male' drama with it too. It doesn't work.
Despite ever ongoing attempts to brag up the great 'Alpha Male' dramas. Despite picking as many A-type in-your-face Alpha Male extremes,
and,
despite doing nearly EVERY conceivable task, challenge, psychological manipulation to force hard-man 'Alpha-fights' it BARELY pays off. Often, the bunch of muscle men just join together.
They become 5 morons with 'Abs' sitting about helping each other and being happy high-fiving bro's about it.
But let me say something good about this season (and I still can't believe I'm praising 5s version) but credit where it's due:
Yes, while they DID pick sexy/athletic bodies. They seemed to have made a real effort to find the CRAZY ones.
Or the ones with some really effed-up immature deep problems. Like Benedict. or that have strange ADD issues (like Conor) and I'm still not sure what is wrong with Aaron but he might be something like.. a naturally high IQ but that is ALSO in state of arrested development.
So a little credit here. This time they did seem to make personality/character issues mandatory in their fit bodies.
But yes, I'd like to see less of it. Chris and Becky (and Adam) are a good sign/start but a future season could use even less muscles and more unique people.
