Don't know about you but I think this African thing has been sooo overrated.
Doesn't it go against Big Brothers principles altogether? (
No-it doesn't go against the principles at all. The whole point of BB is to control the housemates actions and moves. With the SA swap, this has been one way of trying to control the housemates, who have been so far very self-controlled having seen previous series. I think it has been a really good idea. Not sure the choosing of Cameron was entirely fair but overall, it has been a good move. It made the housemades jumpy as to the whereabouts of Cameron. The arrival of Gae has upset the group dynamics-he is clearly emerging as a strong character-something the house has been lacking. I wouldn't call Jon a strong character-individual and unique, yes, but strong no.
I hope they continue with surprises such as this. It isn't just about watching 12 housemates interract-it's about watching them in a controlled environment, living under certain rules and seeing how they adapt to stresses placed upon them as a group and as individuals.
