I'm not a huge fan of the points system - I think you either nominate someone or you don't, and giving them the option of effectively only half nominating someone is too much of a get out IMO.

That said though if a bit more strategy is bought into it it's a good thing - i.e. rather than each HM awarding 1 or 2 points, they have 3 points to use how they wish (so nominate 1 for 3 points, 3 for 1 point each or 2 for 2/1 pts.) Also incorporating a twist where they can steal points off each other would make things more interesting too.


Whether it's HoH, Heaven and Hell or pretty much the original format though, I think we can all agree they need a good solid structure to the tasks. BB4, 5 & 6 had it about right, with the weekly Saturday challenge and then the Weekly Task running at least three days.

The show needs a solid structure - leaving the HMs to their own devices for too long usually ends up in tears. I've always said the race row in CBB5 was partly caused by firstly a lack of routine nominations, meaning the HMs weren't given the opportunity to vent their frustrations through the nomination process - and secondly a lack of tasks, meaning the HMs had too much time to bitch.
