Do you want a back to basics series like BB1 or BB2 or would you like a series with a format like from BB7, BB8 and BB9?

Back to basics (rough guidelines):

- 10/11 HM's in on launch with 1 latecomer.

- 60 - 70 day series.

- Only 1 sister show with only 1 presenter.

- Unique tasks and twists.

- Basic house layout with no secret rooms.

New (rough guidelines):

- 12 - 16 HM's in on launch with 2 - 7 latecomers.

- 90 - 100 day series.

- 2/3 sister shows with 3/4 presenters.

- Mostly repeated tasks from previous series'.

- Complicated house layout with 2/3 secret rooms.

Personally, I prefer the back to basics idea. It could do BB10 wonders and not bore people out of their brains. Yes, I do LOVE BB but I wouldn't mind having a shorter series for once. Viewers might well watch the whole thing instead of giving up by week 7/8. What do you think?

Back to basics as in back to doing things as they were in the early days isn't going to really work unless it's marketed really, really well - and has enough new interpretation so although the ethos is back to basics, the show isn't completely stripped back.

The audience has changed too much, it just won't work anymore. Plus the show needs to move forward, not backwards.

If it's new it wouldn't have repeated tasks and not necessarily 3/4 presenters.

Davina is already doing Big Mouth this year and George should do BBLB. No other shows btw.
