The ratings this year are good, so CBS and Arnold don't really care that some of us think the show is boring and the people left in the house are venom spewing horrible people.

I doubt that. When the feeds are dull, they have had to work a lot harder in order to edit interesting TV shows. And the buzz is not very strong, despite the ratings. Given a choice, they would want a show that not only gets ratings but generates water-cooler talk.

I'd be willing to bet they're going to try for better players next year, regardless of the ratings this year.

Unfortuately thats what is comes down too. If his TV version gets watched he is a success. All the other slop is covered with a promo before you click on the internet feeds which states some material might be offensive and found inappropriate for someone under 21.

Keep calling his players venom spewing horrible people and it will only generate more ratings. I know I've watched more of that Paradise Island garbage since it got down and dirty the last couple of weeks. It's all about ratings and this is exactly what people expect in a reality show. Mouths running like someone with a bad case of the squirts.

Is it possible to predict how these hg's would have behaved? Or who would be left until the end? I don't think there's anything that can be done.
