I sort of miss the old competitions they use to have. The food competitions where they had to win specific foods for the week (beef, vegetables, alcohol, etc.) before all this Have/Have-Not business. Also the luxury competitions where they had to earn the right to use the hot tub and pool table.

I do as well, especially when we're at this point in the season and there's just a miserable cast talking about the same crap every day.

A friend turned me on to the current season of Big Brother Australia (which can be found on Youtube). I'm not a fan of the nominations and eliminations format (same as in UK), but the cast is very solid. They then sprinkle in small tasks and challenges to appeal to the cast members' character traits and you have some supremely entertaining television.

A funny thing is the live studio audience's reaction over the events on the screen. Makes you feel like you're watching old Saved by the Bell episodes with the laughing and "ooohing"/"aahing" over the footage.
