I agree there certainly hasn't been enough controversy so far to divide the housemates up

If we get any of the above in this series it will be gone for good

Yes, times have changed so much since the height of BB, and everyone is more restricted in what they can do and say, but I hope we still get some controversy, rather than a sanitised presentation of reality.

I think it was this type of thing that brought out strong emotions and opinions in viewers, and which made for more heartfelt and in-depth discussions. Any thing that brings out strong emotions in us makes us feel more engaged and invested. Maybe that is what you feel is missing at this stage?

The show has to be different these days, though, because the general view of what is acceptable to say, do and televise has changed so much. I think the depth will develop as the true characters of the housemates are revealed, and stressors increase.

Give it time...we are only coming in to week 2. There will be challenges I'm sure that will start to bring out true feelings and instigate controversy...
