Big Brother Gripes and Grievances!

Midway through the season, and I have more than a few gripes and grievances.

First, the Diary Room sessions seem scripted this year, maybe it's the delivery, but they are definitely not just talking to the camera. For the past several episodes, Lane is far more animated and funny in the DR than he is in the house. Matt, Enzo and Hayden all seem to be "delivering" lines too, albeit Hayden is delivering in a loud, almost confrontational way.

Rachel's diary rooms were forced and unbelievable. Even she could not muster the necessary tone to make her a more sympathetic character.

Second, the competitions this season are lacking in every way. How many skill-level comps can you have in a single season? What happened to the hours-long endurance comps that kept feed viewers on the edges of their seats? Where are the good, old fashioned food comps? It's like they are running out of ideas or originality.

Third, where are the competitors? So far, the HOH comps have been won by just three individuals — Hayden, Rachel and Matt; the POVs have been won by just two people — Brendon and Britney. No one seems to want to win!

Finally, why bring back a twist that was unsuccessful from the start? Why put in a twist at all? BB10 was good because it did not have twists to begin with. Eventually, producers brought in the America's Player twist, and gave Dan a day with a juror member. Still, it was relatively twist-free at the beginning. Season 12 is just a mess with the saboteur and pandora's box.

Just play the game!Q
