Showing the housemates gossiping to each other would be a BAD punishment! Why? Because then everyone will realize that if they slip up their gossip will be broadcast and STOP gossiping, which is one of the best parts of the show. We don't want that, do we?

But I agree that there needs to be a better punishment. Maybe something like solitary confinement. They have the room already and it would be much more of a punishment if they can't talk to the other housemates. They could leave the offending housemate there for several hours or even days depending on the severity of the crime. I'd love it if one housemate for a very serious crime even had to spend weeks there! I'm so evil...
