I wanted to get some opinions on this question, especially for long-time Big Brother viewers... Personally, I have fun watching the show every year. Except I do have one major complaint that disappoints me every year, excluding All Stars...
It seems that every year the BB cast gets younger and younger and prettier and prettier, and just when you thought it wasn't possible, they get whiter. As a result, the actual "game" becomes less and less intelligent and strategic, and more and more inane. A player like Jen or Jessica or Danielle (the list goes on this season) would have never been considered for season 3, which is still my favourite season (I missed season 2, but I know these players would have never been considered either). On the flip side, a player like Danielle (S3) or Roddy (S3), who were the strategic powerhouses on Season 3, would probably not be considered for BB9 because Danielle's not attractive enough and Roddy was in his 30's. I can't locate a 'mastermind' for the life of me this season. There's not one in sight.
What do you guys think? Do you think younger, whiter, less 'talented' players make for better television? Or does anyone miss more ethnically and age diverse casts like I do?
