Has anyone ever watched a Big Brother feed, 24/7, for weeks on end? Neither have I, but I bet it is BORING! The purpose of entertainment is to entertain. Season 4 took place over more than a year and a half, so what seems like it took no time to resolve actually took what some would consider a long time to resolve. My spouse and I actually discussed how long it was taking to resolve some of the plot points (specifically the train ticket), feeling that they were excessively "milking" the suspense.
