Also, try the last series with LF...I believe this has made a big difference
this is an excellent idea!

Yes I know what you are saying and there are certain guidelines and rules and minimum requirements and so on,
but,
The 'version' and 'angle' and I did say 'concept' but really I should say 'concepts' (the original concept must be the same) but the manner in which they think about talks/communications/exits and so on - that can be quite a bit different.

Also keep in mind that they work with Endemol and can agree to do all sorts of things.
Endemol may very well be the ones who decide it is time to be initiating a 'new era' and a BB 2.0 with some unique new ways of doing things.

IMO.. what I'd actually like to see is something that first goes back to original 'purist' Big Brother and not the least of which is ACTUAL RULES MANDATORY,
and,
No clocks, no alarms, NO OUTSIDE CONTACT EVER, no magazines about them, NO friends, family, former HMs and NO NEW PEOPLE and ZERO outside news.
Going right back to the original idea of 'sensory deprivation' of sorts and being in a real 'bubble'.
Not driving around London or having friends come and go, explain who is winning popularity polls and having magazines delivered FFS
YET,
At the same time I'd like to see some new concepts in doing things like:
Actually HIDE, as much as possible, HIDE any signs of any cameras, 2-way mirrors, mics and obvious 'sets' and props for television.
Limit as much interactions with Big Brother that they are aware of. Even days without hearing from BB,
and,
I'd love to see far less 'comedy skits' for tasks and more psychologically intriguing ones and I loved the idea of having a 'communist work factory'.

I'd say this - DO have big-tit young people and DO have silly immature eye-candy tasks YES,
but,
The beautiful thing with BB is that you can ALSO put more serious, more in-depth psychological aspects, more 'adult' dilemmas.

Someone made a great suggestion recently:
Make a teen-orientated BB to run in the Summer as it does now. For the 14-22 year olds say. Costumes, farting, models having shallow relationships, nipple-slips etc
Okay,
Then, instead of a 'CBB' in winter just have a more original concept BB (which was actually almost 'dark' in a way) and a season for more adult, more mature, more deeper social and psychological experiments with more real grown ups entered.
Everyone is happy?

Endemol franchise the show, the channel stumps up alot of the cash to produce and maintain it.

Money to produce it comes out of what C4 pay for the show. All Channel 4 then have to do is provide coverage space. All it needs is 1 hour per night, a website that actually gets updated and a bit of streaming. Everything else is unnecessary filler.

Agreed, but the channel still carries a fair bit of the financial burden, if it didnt then every TV franchise around the globe would have the same production values. Take a look at Slovakian BB, or a turkish Deal or No Deal, theyre practically filmed in sheds (a slight exageration, granted).
