Na. I'd say 16 on launch

6 latecomers during the series.

Numkber of days - 100. Which is 14 weeks.

MR.K! 11-09-2008 01:30 PM

10 weeks

16 housemates

Callum 11-09-2008 05:45 PM

11 weeks. 14 housemates on launch. Two latecomers a week after.

I Like it as 13 weeks its good like that no shorter otherwise theres nothing else better on tv, Maybe 2 houses (but the housemates think theres only 1) and put 10 into each house, then have a double eviction on day 10 (One housemate from each house) then open both of the houses (so make it like theres a wall thats removable inbetween each house so really its just one big house but just with a wall that gets removed) The 2 evicted housemates get to go back into the house but in the 'loft' of the house which they can live in and the housemates have to chose who they want back.

10 Rooms - Diary Room , Kitchen , Living Area , Garden , 2 bedrooms , a hut in the garden , Bathroom , the room with the stairs in , and a task room

All in on Day 1 , no newbies

No eviction until Week 2

Public decide the 2 who are up for nomination , then housemates vote live on a Friday

£110,000 prize money

Also one housemate gets to win 10,000 at some point and the others win £10
£110k? Bit of an odd number.

Plus 20 housemates from the start is way too many.

12!

I like this, and make them nominate in front of each other.

I'd knock a few days off so it runs for 90 days, launching on a Sunday, with the first eviction on Day 13.

There are then 11 eviction nights before the last week, which would have 5 housemates at most, preferbly 4. Therefore around 16-18 housemates in total over the series.

Tom 15-09-2008 12:27 AM

BB9 had just the right amount I think (counting Stuart/Dennis* as one and Maysoon/Nicole as one), so thats 19.

*I know Stuart was said to have replaced Alex but really Alex would have been evicted that week and with no eviction that would have levelled itself out, but in went Stuart and Dennis was never replaced.

14 housemates, 10 weeks, no newcomers under any circumstances.

So if there's a mass walkout?

Nutters22000 17-09-2008 04:25 PM

It should be16 weeks long. And why dont they get Lesbians on the show. Theres always gay blokes. I want to see more women in general. And more welsh people. PLus more couples:dazzler:

LemonJam 17-09-2008 04:27 PM

14 housemates, 4 newcomers 11 weeks.

NettoSuperstar! 17-09-2008 04:28 PM

There are as many women as men?

Plus we've had lesbians before. They shouldn't go out looking for stereotypes.

For me 16 weeks is way too long. You may not realise it because the finale and best bits make you forget it. But theres always a lull week or two during 13 week series, 16 would be a snooze fest by the final week.

Casual viewers would loose interest by the 10th eviction.

*Bradley* 28-10-2008 02:04 PM

15hms (1 latecomer - day 20ish) and 70 days.

Glenn. 09-11-2008 10:01 PM

7 weeks
12 housemates

Joelston 09-12-2008 05:40 PM

What I want....

10 weeks, 12 housemates, no week 1 eviction.

what we'll get

* 15 week series
* 18 housemates on launch night
* 3 new housemates in week 3
* 5 new housemates in a House-Next-Door
* 2 replacement housemates for those who walk out
* 1 celebrity contestant
* one late-comer who is a relative of a housemate
* Just another one thrown in for good measure!

Therefore, 30 contestants for 15 weeks, one eviction a week

leaving 16 in the final week.

I wouldn't put it past them!

Sounds about right :bigsmile:

What I want is 12 weeks and 12 hms on launch, 3 latecomers that come in around the same time as they came in this year. No Week 1 eviction so about 4 or 5 in the final week.

:)tom:) 09-12-2008 07:48 PM
