A major revamp is long over due - it should have come with BB8, if not BB7, which was one chapter of evil too much.
Obviously the core values should remain, but it doesn't mean things like nominations have to be done the same way. Frankly if the HMs nominating once each means we get to see them all nominate, then I'm all for it. Also any twists need to be to the format as a whole - something that affects the show week in, week out, not just for a few days.
Crucially though it's the shows themselves which need a bit of TLC. The main C4 shows are shockingly edited and embarrassingly over narrated by Marcus Bentley - production wise standards have really slipped over the last few years. Oh, and time to give the theme tune a revamp too - not a new theme, but a remixed one.
I'd happily keep both George and Jack for the spin-offs, but they both need revamping.
As for two common arguments made - I don't think they need to cut the length of the series, but they need to approach the series with the length in mind, rather than treating it like a 10-week series and piling in extra HMs to make up the numbers. It's crucial too that no more than 5 make the last week, with the final being reinstated to the event it once was - not just lets get them all out ASAP and lock the doors!
And secondly, Big Brother is all about the evicting - VOTE TO EVICT must remain. It's BB's unique selling point and despite all the copy cat formats which we've seen in the last decade, Big Brother is still the only show where we evict people, not save them. It's much more satisfying and although it may have it's flaws, so does every other type of voting system. We may lose some big characters on the way, but generally speaking it's good for the show to remove the dominating characters and let the others shine in their absence.
