Another day, another reality TV show gripe. Big Brother fans having been frustrated about many things this season — from Matthew’s “gaslighting” to the number of “wannabes” on the show — but there is one thing in particular that’s pushing viewers over the edge.
So much so that they’re now threatening to boycott it entirely.
So pray tell, what is the issue? Apparently, it’s the lack of reprimand. Let me explain.
Fans want Big Brother to be less ‘slack’ with the contestants
The housemates all have a number of rules they need to abide by while living in the house.
First and foremost, they need to be totally cut off from the outside world, which is mostly outside their control, anyway.
However, rules that are within their control are things like no nomination talk, no napping, no talking to camera, no skipping of mandatory tasks, and no speaking in code or writing messages.
The idea is that, for the entire time they’re in there, we (the viewers) don’t miss a thing.
This season, viewers are grumbling that Big Brother has been more lenient with housemates doing the wrong thing, and they’re very unhappy about it.
“I’ve watched most of the seasons of big brother and I’ve gotta say, Big Brother has been SO SLACK with reprimanding the house mates this year,” the fan said. “I’ve seen these people do so many dirty, disgusting things.
“In past seasons, I’ve seen Big Brother make housemates completely redo every single dish because someone had used the bathroom rubber gloves instead of the kitchen ones to do dishes, just as one example.”
The comments section was then flooded with other examples of housemates “cutting corners” with their house chores.
Anita was spotted wiping the floor with a dish towel, only to later put it back on the kitchen bench. Matthew has repeatedly been filmed picking his nose then preparing food for those in the house.
Some housemates have been spotted eating food out of communal containers, with others have been filmed talking directly to camera.
Viewers want Big Brother to step in and reprimand them, believing it would make for better TV.
“It’s just boring when there isn’t pushback,” one fan said, while another agreed, saying, “they’re getting away with murder in there”.
“Unfortunately this is today’s society and big brother is a show about society,” a third said.
So is the show getting more lenient, or does that last comment make a good point? Is the breaking of rules and the ‘getting away with it’ now a true reflection of society?
Or, is Big Brother himself just a little tired, and maybe needs a lie down?
You decide.
