Default Is BB no longer a 'reality' show?

It seems that BB is not seen as a reality show any more; it is looked on as purely 'entertainment' and nothing more. I say this because there is a shift towards good 'game players' as the people who are popular and most likely to reach the finals or win. It doesn't seem to matter that a game player could be quite a bit different in real life, if they put on a good act and 'play' the HM's and audience then they are admired and loved for it.

Obviously we want to be entertained when we watch any show, but personally the winner for me also has to be 'REAL'. A person who is by and large exactly like they are in everyday life once they settle into the show. It's easy enough to tell who those people are.

My criteria in supporting someone is: is there something in them that makes them stand out from the crowd? Are they genuine at the same time? Are they good human beings? And of course - are they entertaining too?
If I wanted to watch an actor I'd watch a film instead of BB.
I think it is losing it's uniqueness and the 'reality' of the show is fading fast. It's becoming more a showcase for 'who is the best amateur actor'. I think it's fine for people to watch purely for entertainment but I think the original premise is being lost and I personally regret that.
