It really annoys me when people call it a gameshow...It's not Deal or No Deal or Catchphrase, the housemates don't fully determine where they place and how well they do, it's up to the voting public to vote to keep them in/get them out. Gameshows don't have that because it's everyone playing for themselves, because that's what a gameshow is...

There might be some gameplaying aspects with nominations and stuff, but doesn't turn the entire show into a gameshow. It's an entertainment reality show, and a popularity contest. Another reason why I find it silly people go in with gameplans and stuff because those can only get you so far - when it comes down to it it's the public that'll ultimately be deciding your fate.
