People are rarely the two dimensional characters that they are made out to be and everyone has something different to offer.

""Being able to mix with a diverse set of people is a fine trait to have and the whole point of BB"". Are you for real?? BB thrives on confrontation, encourages it, arranges it. Read the messages and listen to the audience in the in the show that follows BB. It is a key component for attracting the key BB demographic.

Good grief, is THAT what you think BB wants and what attracts the key BB audience to the show? Love and peace, man!! Spliffs on the house. The show would fold in the second week;
Look how devious, dishonest, dissembling so many of the housemates are and how much attention is lavished on the miscreants. They were selected as housemates BECAUSE they are unpricipled and none-too-bright creatures of the night.
I am not sneering at them, I am merely telling it as it is.
Mind you, if I felt like sneering - and looking at Paul, Hallie, Olivia and the rotten Kerrie - I would not feel morally compromised in doing so.

""People are rarely the two dimensional characters that they are made out to be and everyone has something different to offer.""
What, pray tell, does Paul have to offer. A repertoire of fart-centric anecdotes
and space for rent in his cerebellum? What does Hallie have to offer apart from infantile histrionics and a self-serving approach to inter-personal relationships - she's a user of people and grows a cancer where her social conscience should be.

Your .suggestion that "people are rarely the two-dimensional characters they are made out to be". tells me nothing.. If you wish to make a point, you have to support it. Equally banal is the claim that "" everyone has something different to offer"", as it is made to look undernourished when the answer is "yes, and in the case of Hallie the something else that's on offer is malice, perhaps delusion, certainly an inexplicably massive ego". But then you declined to define the norm against which the "something else" you refer to is to be measured. A substantial omission.

Your post is undermined by a lack of clarity and consequently by a failure to support your contentions.
