The show doesn't actually need that much narration, especially now they insist on captioning the housemates throughout the series. It is usually much better when we see housemates explaining tasks to each other rather than Marcus telling the viewers - though sadly nowadays task reveals see producers decide who does what rather than housemates fighting it out for themselves. (The BB5 wedding task is a good example - nowadays producers would just make Michelle and Stu bride and groom to fit in with their storylines but the real drama came from the HMs deciding amoungst themselves that they wouldn't go the obvious route, much to Michelle's disgust.)

The wedding task
You're 100% right though, the best results come from when the HMs decide amongst themselves.
