To be honest, I think the idea COULD be entertaining. It is a bit too similar to BB10 but I see how you've tried to make it different.

The thing is, them celebs would sue. No matter what they got paid, or what contract they signed, they would sue. If celebs like Pam Anderson are in there - they have bodyguards all the time, so to have that breach of security would seriously mess them up.

I think even if they did that on the normal BB people wouldn't find it funny. It was funny when I started reading it, but then as I thought about how I'd be if I was in there, I didn't find it funny anymore.

Especially as terrorists have threatened to attack the Big Brother house before, and Davina has had death threats telling her they'll shoot her live on TV.

Your idea never going to happen. Why the **** would the producers want the housemates to be silent.

Now stop arguing with people and calling people names.

Ah yes i remember the BB4 bomb scare and i think there was another bomb scare in a later series but forgot which one.

bb9.

BB9 had a bomb scare?

Did I miss something?

During Live Feed one night they put a message up and the LF was axed for a whole night.

The producers had to bring the housemates to a roof of another building while the house was being searched.

It was Day 24 if I remember correctly but I could be wrong.

Jesus Christ what is wrong with you?

This is twice now you`ve posted your **** silent House idea and I already told you its ****, but do you really think Millions of people will spend an hour a night watching Z Listers sit around not speaking except for the occasional sneeze?

And that terriost idea was done in the first week of BB10 sort of, only they werent terriost.
I remember that moment were they ran in and the HMs all jumped and ran like **** and Marcus just stood there :joker:

BB had to shout 'THIS IS A TASK' into the house incase the HMs got worried.

But that terriost idea wouldnt work in CBB for 2 reasons.

1. They would know its fake because it was used similar in BB10
2. There celebs they would probley shout 'Oh **** off i`ll get my agent to sort this out'

I'm not watching it if they're silent it'll be **** and I blame this shitty little thread.

Rofl....Just Rofl....

This is the shittest twist ever!!!

you've already posted this somewhere else, and like everyone else said

'This would be an excellent way of getting ratings through the roof, oh just imagine it a bunch of celeb's sitting around saying nothing, how exciting.'


This task... has failed

I swear this happened in Celebrity Hi-Jack and BB10 [or something similar].
New ideas please.

To make them genuinly believe they were being attacked could potentially cause emotional trauma for all 12 contestants. Instant back firing. Also, the point about the other contestants seeing the shot person dead via the plasma screen? Really? Really? The producers, during a raid of their set, and instead of aiding the person, are just gonna link up to some footage to the other victims? No, just no.

If I remember rightly, didn't they have to alert 'This is a task, this is a task' before they did the raid in BB10 to ensure that the housemates knew they weren't in any danger and weren't gonna go mad with fear?

Edit: Thought so...

That has got to be one of the most ridiculous ideas I've ever read. The idea of having housemates silent for hours is just plain daft! Mind you, there's no live feed so we wouldn't know if they'd been silent or not ;).

BB5 and 9 silent protests weren't exactly boring

I actually can't remember them, but at least with those protests the housemates were doing it voluntarily and it was part of a bigger "storyline". The action of being silent could be seen as funny from a viewers perspective, as it was rebellious behavioour against Big Brother.

A task of forcing the housemates to be silent just wouldn't work. It's a poor idea.

in bb10 i think charile had a challenge to stay quiet for 4 hours or he would get automatically nomitnated

Dunno, but I think giving them buzzwords would be good like they can't say certain words. They did it in BB10 I think (some of them couldn't swear for some reason, can't remember why. If they did they were put up for eviction)

That was not a bad task because Charlie was a very loud energetic person, so BB gave him a task to do the opposite thing. It showed us whether he had character and determination to do something which he found difficult. It was part of his "storyline".

But having a silence task right at the start of a series would be a huge failure. Viewers want to get to know the housemates at the start of the series. A silence task would prevent that from happening.

This is the worst twist I've ever heard of, and that includes BB8's Halfway House.

I dunno, I liked the idea of the Halfway House, it just wasnt really planned properly.
