Saving Big Brother

I found this on the internet and gave it a read. I have to say, I agree with what is being said. Although this year, Big Brother has managed to win their timeslot almost every episode, there could be some changes that the powers that be could make, to make it even bigger and better......what do you think

With Big Brother 7: All-Stars winding down, there has been much speculation regarding a possible 8th season. Will there be one? No one is sure yet; CBS has yet give it the go ahead. No one will dispute the fact that Big Brother has its problems. Ratings have gone steadily downhill and the quality of the show itself doesnt live up to seasons past. What should CBS do to remedy Big Brother? I have some ideas.

1.Note to Casting Directors: No More Stupid People:

The success of reality television typically begins and ends with the casting. The people and the human interaction is what attracts viewers in the first place, and this is especially the case on Big Brother. With live feeds and three televised episodes a week, Big Brother thrives on the quality of its cast. However, CBS has done a pretty terrible job of choosing HouseGuests lately.
This seasons ALL-STARS have been dominated, primarily, by three people: Will, Janelle, and Danielle. And, guess what? Those were probably the three smartest people in the house to begin with. You see, Big Brother is a better game when its played by smart people vs. other smart people. Preferably morally corrupt smart people. The most enjoyable parts of the contest are the scheming, the lying, the play-acting and the backstabbing. How hard would it be for CBS to only cast people who are at least halfway intelligent? They can still be good looking, they can still be quirky and weird and loud, but at least make them capable of playing the game to it's fullest.
