This isn't criticising Big Brother. I'm saying that it is a stroke of genius!
If it was a real social experiment then it would go on for a year like the original idea, there would be no highlights episodes that just happen to be in prime time slots, No spin-off shows. No eviction, no host, No voting. You get the point!

That's why they broadcast it at 11pm?
They didn't know how big ther show was going to be.
The 1st BB is in every way a social experiment.....Did you watch it?
