.....by talking about how much more the housemates have to offer THE HOUSE and any aspects of the housemates we have yet to see on screen.

But it's all about the house.

Their friends aren't in the house. Why involve them at all?

BOTS often ask the friends and family what they are like outside of the house and if they are being themselves. Why show us this if it is irrelevant?

In previous series, the sister show cameras used to go to the contestants houses and go in detail about their lives.

Because they're watching and following it like the rest of us and are putting their views across, which is pretty much what BOTS is for, the opinions of different people from random audience members, family members to the "panellists".

We're not in the house either, yet here we are on a forum dedicated to the show and discussing it.

You missed a bit:

I don't think he addressed it at all.

The issue of whether a housemate is being their real self is absolutely fundamental and is largely what they are judged on. Friends and family and panelists are asked to judge this.

BB sets all kinds of challenges and tasks, such as the cashbomb stuff, to try and draw housemates' real personalities out.

Well, yes he did address it, whether you agree with it or not is separate.
