You know what?

Fuck the diary room.

Big Brother has the power to shape this game at any time, in any way.

We need plot. We need character. To initiate those elements, you need conflict. And conflict does not have to come from the DR.

Unfortunately, Grodner et. al. have been doing this job for too long (and were never the greatest producers anyway). Thus "BB" apparently thinks the only way to shape the plotline is through competitions, twists, and diary room manipulation.

However, BB could be doing all kinds of subtle and/or ridiculous things to get the hgs bouncing right now. Mysterious sirens. Buzzers. Midgets. Mimes. Spools of lies...jewelry making kits. So underutilized.

I haven't heard a single houseguest mention the possibility of an evictee returning this season, despite the fact that many of these people are regular fans/viewers. That's odd.

Shouldn't they ALL be living in constant fear. That's all I ask, Grodner.

Make them ALL live in fear.

Not difficult.
