BB2 is the social experiment. BB4 is just dull - without the characters and light conflict of BB2. In BB3 people could follow the conflict and romance stories built into the casting , and voted out the negative characters, and those more superflous to the drama. The story progressed under its own power, and the voters let it do so - keeping key characters on each side of the house struggle in, and ultimately rewarding those they felt who actually survived best. The divide, surviving nominations day , and some tasks were the challenge, while the characters were cast to be different and to conflict, but not to be totally outrageous. In later BB, the story is continually ended by nominations , viewer votes, and producer twists. The show becomes a procession of outrageous characters, people no one could live with, simple short stories set up by producers, and weak winner's stories. Its often random whether the producers sell an outrageous character for the win, or the dullest of the dull, and they no longer care if anyone has a winning story.
You are right about the outrageous characters being there early. BB1 starts with naked body painting in the first show. It has a future porn star in the cast. BB7 had Lea. BB5 has Orlaith modelling topless throughout. And on the difficult to live with continuum no house has suffered as much as BB7 did in week one. Luisa wouldn't register against the sexual content of those series, and she's far less opinionated than a long list of HM too.
