Question for Big Brother fans regarding casting

I was going to post in the season thread, but with a new episode tonight it'd be buried and forgotten in a few hours but I wanted people's take.

I'm only 30, but I feel like I have developed an old curmudgeon "get off my lawn" mentality with the casting. Used to be, when I would tell people about BB they'd say "so it's kinda like real world?" and I would say "yeah similar, but not geared towards MTV teenagers with a bunch of 20 year olds only there for sex and drama. It's more for regular adults and how they strategize against each other". But now that doesn't really seem to be the case anymore. Look at this new class:

Bronte- mid 20s, decently attractive
paulie- late 20s, attractive
zakiyah- mid 20s, attractive
glenn- 50s, the token older guy
natalie- mid 20s, attractive
victor- mid 20s, attractive
bridgette- mid 20s, regular person
jozea- mid 20s, token gay but attractive
tiffany- early 30s, attractive
corey- mid 20s, attractive
michelle- early 20s, attractive
paul- early 20s, token wildcard

You basically only have 2 people that look like everyday folks you'd see out on the street. Used to be you'd have to pick out the 1 or 2 hot ones, now you have to pick out the 1 or 2 normal ones. Now, I'm not an idiot and I realize that psychologically people are more drawn to watch good looking people than uggos. But what really drew me into Big Brother the first time I watched years ago was that it was just normal people like you or me. YOu still had your token characters like you do now, but they were all over the place. You had a couple hot people, some older folks, handful of fat people, wide span of age ranges. And heck this year they don't even have the nerd character like ian or mcrae. This year there's only 2 of 12 new cast members over 30.

I don't know...it just seems to me that BB is now slowly getting pulled into the abyss of the greedy money-hungry broadcasting corporation and getting away from what made it so great to begin with. I'm not saying I want only ugly people on there, but geez does it HAVE to be so much like the RW or some summertime magazine shoot?


And CBS tried to play up all this to boot. From the opening 2 minutes last night, half the people when they found their key were in bathing suits or working out or shirtless somehow. They made sure to ask them all if they were single, we need to know that. They also asked contestants if they'd be up for a showmance. It just seems like this stuff should be beneath BB.

I'm rambling here and don't even know where this train of thought is going, just wanted to vent a little. Does anyone else feel similar?
