Agreed.

Which is why, looking back, I can at least give BB15 credit. Although they mucked around a lot (Ashleigh and Toya facing the public vote in weeks they shouldn't have done in theory, for example) they at least provided structure.

I don't mind contrived elements to the format as long as they are set in stone and not messed with depending on which housemates face the public vote or how the ratings are going on that particular week.

I think BB would have ultimately fared much better on Channel 5 than it has done if they had actually executed their twists that they've implemented each series since 2013 but made them a structured part of the format.
