Herewith my view. The current BB issue highlights 2 fundamentals for me. 1) If the only way we can entertain ourselves is by watching a bunch of sad, self-centred people tyring to outdo each other (in all manner of things!) live on camera, then as a society, we are really going backwards. 2) To crown it all, there is then mass indignation and hurt when people show their true colors and speak the unspoken. What else do you expect? Just because it is politically incorrect to speak out or act as a racist, thug, bully, bigot and whatever else, people do not fundamentally change who and what they are just because they are told they should. It's not Goody's fault, she was just being herself.
Unless the idea of BB is that it is some kind of Dharma project observing human behaviour (in which it also fails dismally - subject of a different discussion), I say Scrap it (and anything like it). It's purile.
