In 2 words, it's Julie Chen that's the problem with the show. She conducts herself like she's giving a very very serious interview. Zero personality, zero flare. If you watch the UK BB, it's an absolute spectacle. Watching her during the live shows is like watching stuck-up paint dry. Show is not bad--the people inside the house make up for her--barely. Get back to season 1 production and you might have a hit again.
