BB9 never slipped away but to the heart of the matter here:
No, this season is getting better and in many ways is vindicating us 'purists'.
I would even say this has been a more 'Classic' BB than a lot of C4s later attempts. And its working.

And no, this is not cooling off and you have some people in there who (as a matter of course and construct) are going to exhibit plenty more characteristics.
Its a shame THIS is the shortened season after all. It's one of the best and wow has 5 gone a long way in redeeming itself.
