You say everyone knows but ultimately the main impression of this forum, and the social network sites, is that 90% of the chat about the show now is about how Marc and Helen are big characters, not about how they're big characters in a ****ty show. At this point I'm actively encouraging housemates to be background 'bores' if it means they have some semblance of dignity and likeability about them. And I know the main argument against this post will be that BB has changed, I have to get over it, but I don't want to and don't see why I should just accept the fact that what was once an entertaining show is now a tacky merry-go-round of orange, manufactured crap.
