I posted this in another thread and it feels relevant,

It's because production is ridiculous impatient and are obsessed with getting IMMEDIATE results. There were plenty of complex relationships building before the quad eviction, but production wasn't pleased because nobody was shouting at maximum volume that someone's a fat **** or a dirty slag. The quad eviction just killed everything that the show was building up, and this BB Legends stuff isn't helping either. The show is just being simplified to thoughtless and banal conflict and it's really sad.
It's not all production's fault though. The high ratings of the past CBB (for whatever reason, I thought it was complete ****) have left production thinking that having renegade clowns running around like Perez Hilton will help bring in the ratings, and the slight ratings increase after the quad eviction will just further validate the idea that the show was BORING and like GRANDMA'S TEA PARTY even though it wasn't at all.
I don't know, I'm just at the point where the show is getting more and more disheartening to watch and I might be ready to say goodbye for good. The show's MO has clearly turned into "let's insert as much blunt conflict as possible," and the show constantly seeks to achieve this through deplorable characters like Jim Davidson, Katie Hopkins, Perez Hilton, Helen, and Marc because they tell it like it fookin is, apparently. It's just getting to the point where the values that the show is trying to push are more and more misaligned with mine, and watching this just makes me feel kinda icky
