Mine would be...

1) Make the outside crowd/stage area more like it used to be - think BB7. I loved it like that. Simple - just a long path surrounded by a really big crowd and then a little round stage to stand on before walking up the stairs. Oh, and they arrive by car obviously. I liked the big eye they walked out of in CBB/BB12 but after a while it started to annoy me. Don't know why but i've gone off it now.

2) LIVE FEED! I'm not even too bothered myself but if it stops everyone complaining about it then that can only be a good thing!

3) The housemates to actually have a bit of a hard time sometimes. It's great to see them partying sometimes but this series it seemed to be just parties 24/7 and it got a bit boring really. I like to see them work hard!

4) The winner to actually recieve the full £100,000.

5) Make sure Brian Dowling never does that salute thing at the beginning of a show EVER AGAIN!

Live feed, get rid of Facebook votes, longer interviews, enforce the rules a bit more

Would be happy with that

Increase the winner's prize to £250,000 & see how desperate the housemates become.

Eviction crowd needs to stay.

One of the best things is hearing the reception when phone numbers are read and when they go live to the house. It never gets old seeing the HMs reactions to being booed so damn bad

[Scotty07]

For a start I would like these:

1) I would like no evictions or nominations for at least two weeks. It gives us more time to judge. I am suprised they've never done this. Not having enough weeks in the series is a very poor excuse not to try it. There's enough time with an occasional midweek or double eviction.

2) If one group/gang is clearly dominating by block voting, then I would like to see BB use save and replace or something similar but only if necessary to help stop a series from becoming boring.

3) The three people or more with the most votes instead of two are up for eviction. I've lost count the number of times boring housemates have avoided been up for eviction by just one vote and it never gets any less annoying. The downside is there would be no more head to heads, but they're overrated imo.

4) If any housemate tells Big Brother they want to leave, they must be given a final warning that if they ask again another day, then they will be evicted immediately with no goodbyes. Also, if they try to breakout like John James BB11, then they will be asked to leave immediately without any warning.

5) No contact with the outside world and nobody in the house but housemates, not for tasks not for anything. I do not want to see any celebrities or anyone popping in for a chat and a cuppa.

6) I want the tasks to be much harder and more 24 hour tasks, like they used to do.

7) I want at least two evictions a series that are cruel and a genuine suprise to the housemates.

8) Get rid of the name tags and the overuse of spoonfeeding flashbacks. It's insulting to most BB fans, We aren't idiots we remember things.

9) Live Feed obviously or at the very least a few hours of extended recorded footage on top of the main show.

10) I want an intelligent and more serious alternative to BOTS/BBBM. Something with real fans of the show like people on Tibb that know what they're actually talking about. It could be made in a similar way to "Question Time" or "Newsnight Review".

11) At least twice a series, the whole house should be up for eviction.

12) Better secret tasks for housemates with more interesting rewards. Both are usually abysmal.

13) Various ages of housemates, but not too old that the others feel like they have to feel sorry/take care of them.

14) New housemates roughly half way though the series but not the odd one. It's much more exciting imo if they throw five in together, like BB10.

15) I say it every year, but a more interesting mix of different people.

This. It will also attract certain types of professionals who would baulk and risking their dignity for £100K (which could be cut as in this year) but would quite happily pimp themselves out for our entertainment if £250K is on offer.

Also want to see more graduates, only Anton and Aaron were.

I liked the fact that the 2 previous series had Oxford graduates Freddie (BB10) and Andrew (BB11)

[conpop]

1. bb7 like stage
2. channel 4 highlight shows. no more nametags, flashbacks, music, and all that ****e. I want the old format of the shows back
3. harder tasks for sure.
4. housemates above the age of 30
5. more nutter housemates
6. fire brian
7. maybe a claustrophobic house like in bb5 (or just a house thats more harsh towards some housemates. uncomfortable beds, shower in the garden, etc)
8. if a housemate wants to walk, they must complete a punishment ask in order to be granted exit.

kind of all ideas that have already been put forward, but i think the majority of us want this

[starry]

For a start get it on another channel that actually wants to make something of the show.

[flamingGalah!]

It needs to go back to its roots as a reality show. Just a bunch of normal & random people locked up in a house together, rather than a bunch of fame hungry wannabe's picked because they look like models

Have a wide range of ages...

Have live feed...

Have an eviction crowd, but don't let the housemates hear their cheers/boos...

NO contact with the outside world, AT ALL...

NO bias or manipulation by BB...

[BBGermany]

Id change it by replacing it with reruns of Friends. or any other 1990s program.

This is the 1st year (summer series) since BBUK6 that I have yet to watch.
Im not really bothered either. I thought maybe I would but....since the Celeb series sucked & I couldnt get past 10-15min of launch night for this one. Im in no rush to watch it.
I have Norway/Germany & India for my BB pleasure

Im going on from the Celeb series + the last couple of summer series.

NO Outside contact. For anything. Unless necessary.
Make them do stuff for the food like they used to. Not this one/two day task stuff.
You walk you get no air time.!
You threaten to walk "said amount of times" you get kicked out
Again like I always say "Steal" BBAUs 3 strikes your out rule.

Have Big Brother be the person who actually Runs the show and not the HMs

I realize it will never go back to how it once was. But it seems like all other BBs are just better nowadays and the UK house is lagging behind.

I said this before Celeb started, C5 just wanted to cash in on the BB name.
Heres hope for Australia

[CharlieO]

It will never go back to being good again. AXE IT I SAY.

[karezza]

Don't announce nominations results on BBBOTS.
