10. Lack of sequester
Why did it take until last night for us to have a chance to see the folks sitting around the house chatting about who got kicked off and who the new HOH is? That's pretty much the only thing that gets us through the back end of most seasons.

9. Wednesday instead of Tuesday episodes
We've complained before about the fact that the feeds allow us to find out who won veto, who used veto and who is nominated well in advance of the broadcast airings, but waiting until Wednesday for the veto ceremony on CBS is beyond ridiculous.

8. Pointless audience involvement
When will they finally let us vote people out, or at least have one penalty vote? Instead, they expect us to call in for stupid votes like which foods people get to eat or who should be a saboteur for a week. What a waste of time and opportunity.

7. The Brigade
It's a ridiculous name for an alliance (though we'd expect no less considering it includes a grown man who calls himself "The Meow Meow"). And while there are three of them seemingly in the final four, it's by sheer miracle. They don't have a grasp on how to get things accomplished and by and large really stink at winning challenges... and at having any foresight. They voted out the only one with half a brain as soon as they could. Can't wait to see how they defend their lack of play to the jury.

6. Saboteur evicted immediately
This summer's big twist wasn't siblings that didn't know about each other or secret twins but rather a saboteur who was out to wreak havoc on the house instead of attempting to win money. And... she got voted out the first week. If they ever try to bring back this "twist" in a future season, they need to find someone remotely likeable and competent so they could stick around for a while.

5. Too many "showmances"
Rachel and Brendon, Hayden and Kristin, Matt and Ragan, Lane and Britney. Everyone was all coupled up and while we don't mind the random hookups, hearing them gush about their feelings and whatnot just gets annoying. Just say you're hooking up for the sake of the game. Own it.

4. Useless second saboteur
When we selected Ragan to take over saboteur duties, we thought that he'd actually do something like vote against the house (which, aside from Kathy, didn't happen this summer) or really commit some psychological warfare. Instead, he did dumb little things (at the suggestion of some pre-screened Facebook users) that the other players barely even registered.

3. Lame punishments
We will admit that having Brendon get dunked in chum for hours was actually a true punishment, but taking away the houseguests' silverware, making them dress in penguin suits or hippietards or talk via sock puppets are not especially torturous things for them to have to do. Even the have-not room didn't seem all that bad. Next summer: solitary confinement (for real, and not where people can sit next to the door and talk to them) or take away their water so they can't shower or eliminate access to the food pantry entirely. Something that actually makes being in the house more difficult.

2. Lack of actual twists
The saboteur suggested that a pair of houseguests might have previously known each other -- that would have actually been a refreshing twist. With the saboteur's early elimination, there weren't a lot of game-changing or truly unexpected events, other than perhaps the Diamond Power of Veto or Rachel's brief return visit.

1. The most interesting people were voted out early
There's no controlling this, but Andrew and Rachel got eliminated pretty early in the game and now we're stuck with dullards who don't know how to dance or make conversation about anything other than golf. And golf is already tediously boring. While Andrew and Rachel might have grated on our nerves, they did make for entertaining and fight-filled television, which is more than we can say for the rest of the house.
