Not the overflow "story lines" and constant bitching and arguing. Staging and blowing things out of proportion for the cameras.

The same went for last summer. I loved the small amount of live feed we'd get, watching the housemates settle down after an eviction and discuss the night's/or the previous week's events.

That's not nostalgia, that's a preference of what I'd like to see in the highlights show.

Telling me I only like BB2 because of nostalgia, is because I'm remembering 2001 and only like it because of how everything was back in 2001. Romanticising the past by forgetting the bad parts. Or having some strong personal affinity with that time. I don't, I barely remember 2001.

It isn't. It's how I prefer the show in 2014 too.
