I think they should play about with nominations this year...

[Jords]

as part of the series' twist.

Settle Them In
Week 1: 2 noms to face eviction.
Week 2: 2 noms to face eviction.

Things About To Get Wild
Week 3: 2 noms to stay, those that receive the least put up for eviction.
Week 4: 1 nom to face eviction, 1 nom to stay, after cancelling out, those who do not end on '0' are up for eviction, except any who get 3 or more, or -3 or less... thats an achievement (to help keep in the most controversial character).

The Fun Begins
Week 5: House introduced to 2 new HMs on Week 4's Friday eviction show; 1 nom to keep, 1 nom to trade original HM (new HM with most noms automatically stays, Other New HM vs. Original with most noms eviction).

Week 6 [mid-series]: All HMs up for double eviction, but task for 2-4 to gain immunity.

Week 7 [crime weekly themed task]: 2 noms to face eviction - 'This is Big Brother, the housemates up for nomination for eviction this week in no particular order are.. ''blah''.. AND.. ''blah''.. AND.. etc. Here is the evidence...' -big screen plays of nominations of those that receieved the most- They must then decide which of them will face eviction ALONE (get 24 hours to argue their cases until decision, past nom talk allowed), with a 'guilty for eviction or not guilty for eviction vote' by the public. Also another new HM enters Friday night.

Week 8: 2 noms to face eviction, actually 2 noms to save so those that receive least put up (new HM immune) *twist*

Week 9: Public nominate, HMs evict (called in DR randomly, exit DR to the left to stop revealing whats going on, evictee can only say bye to others who were up /nasty).

Time To Be... Nice?
Week 10: Do not have to nominate, if none do all up (told).
Week 11: 2 noms to give a HM finale-ticket, most wins it, rest of house up for double eviction.

Return to Normality
Week 12: All house up, vote to win! :amazed:

I prefer the nominatons to be that,who the housemates put up, in the secret area of the diary room,no twists, it drives me mad when they make such a play on discussing nominations at all then doing daft twists with them.

I'd rather the nominations process stay as it has always been in the main but anyone discussing nominations be automatically put up that week.

Twists on other things but I hope they leave the nominations alone this time.The most pathetic twist last time was the pouring of buckets over a nominee.

You didn't get the true picture of nominations that would have happened then as opposed to how they would have been done had they still been done in the diary room.

[Jords]

The process of nominating has always been kept the same, with the odd exception of a twist 1 week, it would be interesting to see how the HMs behave not knowing what the nomination process will be that week.

- knows people will want it kept the same, but still thinks it would make a great twist for a series instead of a stupid launch twist -

Some other nomination exceptions

Big Brother 2009

Week 3

Siavash, playing King Henry VIII in the week's task, was called upon to ban one housemate from nominating and to grant another immunity. He chose Charlie and Marcus respectively

Week 11

Siavash and Sophie both refused to nominate. As punishment Big Brother decided, without telling them, that the first two housemates with whom Siavash made physical contact and the first two that Sophie named after leaving the Diary Room would be deemed to be their nominations. Siavash touched Bea and Sophie, and Sophie named Rodrigo and Bea. Therefore Bea received an additional two nominations and Sophie and Rodrigo each received one extra nomination.

Big Brother 2008

Week 6

As Darnell was Head of House he was immune from nomination/eviction. Hell Housemates had to peel potatoes in order to nominate.


Week 7

As Dale was Head of House he could nominate but could not be nominated. Hell Housemates had to chop onions in order to nominate.

Yeah, I agree - straight nominations, no twists ..... :thumbs:

[Jords]

Wheres the sense of adventure? :laugh:


This would also stop block-voting this series.

[Jords]

Some other nomination exceptions

Yeah but theyre crap... :tongue:

[Omah]

You said "The process of nominating has always been kept the same" - regrettably, over the seasons, that has been increasingly less true - there has been far roo much fiddling about by BB, frequently to keep the "chosen ones" in the house ..... :(

[CharlieO]

Nominations is one of the key rules and concepts in BB. its one of the things i think should stay the same. Save and replace ruined it for me. That is why we were left with such boring housemates in the end.

It has bar a few weeks though throughout 11 BB series and 7 CBB series... its always 'nominate 2 housemates up for eviction'. Its what everybody expects and most importantly, what the housemates will be expecting, what happens when thats completely shaken up???

This isnt a permanent suggestion btw, just this series twist, or next year... instead of another house or whatever junk they try to pull off.

No its not, the housemates last year on a whole were a pretty poor selection. Think about... the most hated get put up for nom, the save + replace task is designed to get them a get-out-of-jail free card and put 1 of their targets up, it just didnt occur with the BB11 lot.

Also, the same old thing could be BB's downfall, sure hardcore fans love the process (me included, but I hate when its too predictable/block-voting), but a shake up may pull in more people and could be capable of causing some fireworks!

No, it isn't

Big Brother 4

Week 5

Cameron (getting special coverage) made his nominations from the Big Brother House in South Africa over the phone to Gaetano. Even though he was allowed to nominate, nobody could nominate him

Week 7

Ray, as leader of the house in Week 7, had to choose the three housemates to face eviction.

[Jamesy]

I love the idea of the way nominations work being slightly different each week.

I never liked the save & replace tasks last year, it just got a bit boring with the same thing each week. Changing nominations each week keeps things interesting for the viewers and housemates. It would put a stop to people following the same tactic voting that usually develops each series. With it being different each week the housemates can't plan ahead on who they're getting rid of as they won't know what to expect next.

It's a twist that hasn't been done before either, I think it would work really well; even if it's just for the one series.

[Jords]

No, it isn't

Big Brother 4

Think of how many weeks altogether there have been of BB and count the nomination twist weeks, not many... And also most of them were just benefitting the 1 HM and changing how many they can nominate/immuning somebody...


Did you read my post? This isnt about doing that, its about changing what youre nominating...

Aims of the Weeks;
Week 3 - introduces nominating to save.
Week 4 - doesnt work on a who gets the most/least votes system like usual, but who works out on totalling 0 (bar 3+ -3 or less which is unlikey, but is purely to try and help the most hated HM by the others to remain in the house another week).
Week 5 - makes new HMs work to keep their position.
Week 6 - hopefully removes some deadwood.
Week 7 - nomination process linked with task, 1st time 1 person up for eviction in a should they stay or should they go situation.
Week 8 - pure twist, again to help keep disliked HMs in the house to stay - for arguments!
Week 9 - public get more of a say, which is what we like.
Week 10 - shows what the HMs intentions are, will they agree not to vote then backstab?
Week 11 - finish the series off by making it more nicey. :p


Obvs these are just suggesting what they could do, people may have others which theyre welcome to say! :D

They've all been done, to a greater or lesser extent, before and I don't like them ...... simples ..... :wink:

[Jords]

Not true, but some (sorta) have and Ive tried improving them on what Id like to see. And fair enough, but I reckon you would if it was done, itd certainly be more unpredictable and exciting.

[BBDodge]

Nom fiddles ruin the show.

Set the rules and stick by them. Housemates pick who they want up, viewers pick who goes. Simples.

[Omah]

No, it wouldn't - as I pointed out, BB has frequently bent the nomination/discipline rules to keep "preferred" HMs, e.g. Cameron, Charley, Makosi, in the house ..... :mad:

Playing with nominations serves only to confuse the issue, both for the viewers and the HMs, who, as we have seen recently, have taken it upon themselves NOT to nominate, thus incurring more nomination-fiddling from BB ..... :rolleyes:

As we know, alienated viewers abandoned BB by the million - IMO,too many HMs and too many "twists" (along with appalling simple "tasks") did not encourage viewer particpation ..... :nono:

Totally agree with you here Omah, and thats annoyed me greatly, if they dont nominate they should either be automatically put up or booted the arse out!

However this isnt about 'fiddling' and its not about changing the nom selection for just 1 HM, they all get the same treatment its just the scenario in which they have to nominate differs.

You dont like the idea its cool but yeah, dont think ya getting what Im trying to put forward properly. :p

[karl100589]

The way I would do it:

Rather then the top 2 vote getters being up for nomination the top 5 vote getters are nominated

Save and Replace stays

Vote to SAVE!

[MusicMan]

I LOVE the idea of the crime-related, guilty/not guilty thing. It would a cool idea to have the one housemate up and people vote yes or no. Although they probably will get evicted. But yeah that night would need some other kind of event, like a housemate going in like you said, coz if no one gets evicted, the crowd are gonna feel slightly cheated...! :)

[Vicky.]

I think if they are going to messa round with noms/whos up/changing the vote(eg. to vote to save)...then we should be told BEFOREHAND. Otherwise it just looks like they are making the decisions based on who is likely to go each week.

(Yes Im still bitter about them anouncing a quad eviction AFTER they knew josie got the pass to the final :p )

Simple changes but I like, the 2-head evictions can get boring although BB11 didnt have many (BB10 was filled with them >.>)

Save + Replace, yes!

But I do like the concept of voting out who you dont like.. even though some characters are lost. Im wierd, I know some provide entertainment but they have to go if I cant stand them :laugh:

Thanks MM! Welcome back btw :D
Yepp I thought that too, a new HM could go in regardless, or only goes in if the potential evictee is 'guilty' nahaha

Good idea, whoever is the host should tell the details of the following week at the end of the eviction show.. could be a discussion point on BBBM if its back also.

[Vladimir]

Yeah, I agree they change the nomination process, and these are great ideas. I would like to see face-to-face nominations, they bring drama. :)

[Jordan.]

I think nominations are the one thing in the format that should never be changed.

Save and replace was bad enough last year.

[Lee.]

I want them to make nominations simple with no twists.. I think the house should nominate as usual with the most nominated hm's facing eviction, then let the public votefor who goes.. I hate all the twists and gimmick when it clomes to the nomination/eviction process!

To the first two posts:

Be Quiet.
You would be complaining and crying if they didn't have any twists at all, they do and people still moan.
As Jords said, where's the sense of adventure?



I like your ideas Jordy, alot - It would make things interesting.

Week 9 and Week 10 sound so similar to BB3 and BB6's Twists haha.
I'd also like them to be allowed to discuss nominations now, it would add a sense of game play to, A GAME SHOW.

I'm fed up with housemates saying 'Oh he's playing the game'.

Even today when I bought the paper, mostly because Kate Lawler was on it - I read it and Josie was like: 'Don't play the game at all.'

It's like 'WHO ARE YOU?'.
Big Brother IS A GAME SHOW - Especially now with 500 Thousand quid at stake, people will and should be allowed to play, lie, bitch, scheme their way to the final.

Jungle Cats FTW.

The Save & Replace thing better NOT return this year.

I wouldn't mind nominating to save, or voting to save for phone calls. Also, more nominating in front of each other. I'd love that.

I liked the secret agent one , clever :D

I agree absoloutly. Clear and most importantly "fair".......Fiddling the nominations only causes claims of unfairness and indeed it can be........

In the last few years of BB CH4 did to much fiddling of the rules which eventually ruined the show......Rules and boundaries are important in life and in competitions without them a free for all messed up stuff and nonesense results......

That in BB9 - Amazing.

They should do that and give reasons this time rather than just writing the name on a board and turning it round as if they're on the ******ing weakest link.

It was still awesome in BB9 though just because of Rex thinking it was the best thing ever whilst Rachel was conforting Kat as if she had just been told she had cancer.

[Jords]

It aint fiddling about with nominations! Its just being applied in different ways...

And thanks Paddy! -ideas feel accepted by the ultimate BB fanatic-

[Omah]

True ..... :thumbs2:

[Beastie]

ALL the housemates should take part in a task.... the 1 that loses the task or comes in last place should automatically be put up for eviction. The last 1 or 2.. or whatever. Then nominations will still happen after.. 2 more housemates will join the 1 or 2 losers up for eviction. With a vote to SAVE!! The housemates with the LEAST amount of SAVE votes is EVICTED. Hoorah!

If all the housemates had to compete in some sort of survival task in BB11.. Josie.. no offence to her.. the lazy "did nothing" beached whale would have been out first. Especially if it was a task to do with fitness.

[Jords]

LOL. "It's just being applied in different ways" Translated means fiddling about with nominations......

No because fiddling about = minor tweeks here and there, this is properly giving the same old process a drastic change being the centre 'theme' if ya like, of the series.

Instead of heaven/hell / rich/poor, or a second house/room, this is an idea of what they could do.

[joeysteele]

I agree,I hate the twists on nominations too.
I would though like to see if anyone does talk about nominations and if it's still a rule not to talk about them on the new series, that whoever discusses them is automatically put up that week.

No more of any favouritism where some got away with it left right and centre while others were instantly punished for it.
