Re: Some good news from the UK then
Yes..... but the very first Big Brother was wonderful entertainment.
There were real personalities on that show, especially the gorgeous pouting Melanie Hill (pic attached) who is now something important at Marie Claire magazine (last I heard) ............ the winner Craig giving his winnings to some disabled woman (can't remember if she was one of his relatives, she may have been).
And who can forget Nichola, who smeared her body with paint and made nice patterns on the wall..... and who went on to become a hardcore porn star.
The show went downhill when the producers deliberately started choosing contestants who they knew would be controversial ("Hmmm... there's a black inmate, so we'll need a racist..." etc), rather than just going for interesting people with a personality and a story to tell.

Re: Some good news from the UK then
The same happened in Australia - they canned it last year. The first couple of years, there were real characters in the house. Then it just became an endless line of wannabe swimsuit models and gay fashion designers - all too worried about their people on the outside seeing them doing anything to have a good time. Banning the excessive consumption of alcohol in the house after the second or third year didn't help matters either.
