About production directing Jocasta how to act... I think it was Janelle who stated in an interview somewhere that they are given optional diary room scripts to follow. They can accept the dialogue or reject it, but people who follow the scripts, like Jocasta I'm sure, get the most airtime.
It''s pretty clear that most of them are following a script at least partially or part of the time while in the Diary Room. I don't blame Jocasta for any of that.
I also remember Britney complaining about production making them make that quaking noise and the duck call gesture for the Quack Pack.
I don't mind the script it's the affectations. It was a crappy stereotype that I'd love to never see again but I know exists. ugh...
I remember Joe's family from BB14 wondering why he spoke so loudly in the DR. They must be told to ramp up the volume and the animation...it's so fake and foolish.
God forbid they find one person like Danielle from season 3 again. 

One of my all time faves. You're right, they now prefer to cast an female African American who is there to be wallpaper, like Kalia, than they are to cast one who has any knowledge of how the game is played or any desire to learn, as long as she fulfills the "sassy" stereotype.
and his sister. The guys were like
