It depends what you mean by 'staged' doen't it? I don't think it's staged in the sense they're actors being directed, but I think they've been selected to fulfil the role of particular characters and create a real life drama in order to keep it interesting/entertaining. See Marco's column: - I think what he says , from an 'insider' perspective, reveals the inner workings of BB, and he backs up what he says by quoting what's been said by Endemol.
All drama relies on conflict. It's also staged in the sense the producers are creating situations where the participants are in conflict, either with BB or with each other - e.g. the nomination process.
