Warnings aplenty... But is it fun anymore?

With the news that Big Brother has issued an official warning to Rebecca after she screamed abuse at Rex, the question has to be asked - has BB been able to recover from all the previous controversy?
While Bex and Rex's row has been the most interesting thing to happen in the house in the last few days, the fact remains that in a lot of ways Big Brother has become a victim of its own success.
BB1 was a social experiment in the true sense of the word - with housemates unaware of the popularity of the show in the outside world and thus giving a fascinating insight into their personalities.
Except now the house is filled with random wannabes hoping the show will springboard them to a picture spread at Nuts / Zoo or whatever and who therefore are busy being sycophantically nice or ridiculously outrageous depending on which tactics they employ.
This means the house is either vicious to the point the mainstream media is circling waiting for something to happen and a housemate to be removed, or dull as ditchwater.
Bearing in mind we've lost the same number of housemates through them being removed as via bona fide evictions, it's all getting a bit silly.
Do we NEED big irritating characters to make it worthwhile?
