For 4 years the viewers have told them what's missing (the live feed) and what there's been too much of (nomination twists, stupid tasks, etc.) and they respond by continuing with no live feed and giving us more twists and even dumber tasks.

They have lost all sight of the fact that this is an interactive show that lives or dies by how engaged the viewers are with it. Something that is becoming increasingly impossible for viewers to do as the trust between them and the show evaporates.

I'll quote the Executive producer of BB Canada...

"Since they can watch you 24/7 online, you have to tell true stories, you have to tell people’s true experiences, and you can’t make up some cagey reality thing. You don’t have that choice. You’re held accountable to the truth of the experience with those houseguests. That’s why it really is an authentic social experiment."

I continue to love the concept of putting 12 - 16 different people in a house and seeing how they get along and what stories develop. But I have lost all faith in the producers to get out of the way. They seem to see it as little more than a vehicle to celebrate themselves and their "genius" ideas which leave most of us invariably feeling underwhelmed.
