I agree. Once the intelligence left the house, that was it. Why does BB producers insist that showmance couples are what keeps viewers interested? The only way to pull viewers in and keep them is to have varied and interesting housemates, the same ruules to apply for all housemates and more live feed so that the viewer can make up their own mind about the housemates.
