Site needs to find some games that they don't think are great to review. Going through their archive I can't find a single review that scored below 8.

I don't think we should force reviews to review garbage just so we see different numbers.

things below 8 aren't garbage.  And I think reviewers should see a variety of quality so you can see that they can be critical when they need to be instead of solely focussing on what makes a great game great. 

Are you kidding, when a game gets below 8 we see screaming throughout the forums, declarations of "I'll never trust them again," and cries that the sky is falling.

I think reviewers should review games that they are interested in and that other gamers might be interested in.  This is actually an industry-wide problem where reviewers are being forced to review bad games or games they have no interest in and it just leads to bad reviews.  If you don't like the Wii and Wii games, you shouldn't be reviewing them.  If you don't like FPS games then you shouldn't be reviewing Call of Duty.  Gaming is supposed to be fun so I think reviewers should review games that interest them and that they will enjoy writing a review of.
