Good question.
Rebrand it to
Bigg Boss to ditch all the baggage
Build a new house shell in a rural location and surround it with barbed wire. The eviction stage would be opposite it with the large crowd area in between with a split for housemates to walk through like classic Big Brother Australia.
Opening titles would be reminiscent of BB5, and a lot of the visual theming would feature barbed wire, attack dogs, security guys and cameras. It would have a back to basics and "Bigg Boss is evil" type mantra.
Opening titles and logo would
not change from year to year. It would have an eyebrow like BBAU and
BBAfrica
The theme tune would be redone with an electronic guitar.
14 housemates; 7 guys, 7 girls. No launch night twists and no evictions for the first week, so we actually get to know all of them. The first eviction would take place 14 days after launch.
24/7 live feed like Arista said with adverts to pay for it.
The team would swear an oath not to manipulatively edit the show to misrepresent housemates or any occasions for the sake of entertainment,
ever. It has to be completely honest presentation.
A sexy male Australian or southern Irish narrator.
No music/montage editing. The narration and presentation of events should be basic, neutral and formal.
I'm not sure who to host but preferably a rising star who is somewhat of an unknown. They'd have to actually have a personality and not be afraid to ask hard questions
without hesitation. Someone like Gretel Killeen. <3
Evictions would be on a Sunday night because everyone's in on that night, let's be real. It would be half an hour after the normal highlights show as it's own stand-alone episode. It would open with the host entrance, bit of a monologue, then she'd get straight to evicting. The housemate walks through the crowd, then they sit down and talk a bit, then adverts, then they continue talking after adverts.
There would be a dedicated half an hour nominations show on Monday night after the main show. It would be edited from having been recorded that same Monday morning and towards the end of that show it cuts to the house to announce the nominees live.
Vote to Save; at least 3 housemates up every week.
Not sure how the numbers work out but; double eviction the penultimate week and 5 in the finale.
The house would be small and open plan kinda like BB5 where there are props sticking out the walls, the walls lean inwards and the floor is raised to promote a sense of claustrophobia.
Cast of housemates needs to be diverse like BB10. They all need to be intelligent and able to articulate themselves and their ideas. They all need to be extroverts but not freaks. There needs to be age diversity, too.
Tasks would be ones that divide the house such as rich vs poor.
Tasks would take a back seat; this isn't Takeshi's Castle.
No contact from the outside world at all, ever. Letters from home towards the end of the series only.
The Bigg Boss voices would need vocal and handling training to remain authoritative, cold and strict. No bantering with the housemates, BB needs to be the devil.
Minimal secret missions and poking and prodding the housemates to over produce the show. If intelligent and diverse people are selected, the show will write itself.
No obnoxious overly "themed" houses, but they should be somewhat modern and minimalistic without being super luxurious looking.
2 bedrooms always to promote house divisions.
A hot tub instead of a pool; no-one uses the pool enough and the hot tub always yields good conversations.
