Just a quick request to read and reply please. I'd rather have pages of comments telling me my ideas are **** than absolute silence. But hey, as nobody has told me it's all ****, I'll assume it's the best idea you've ever read and plough on regardless!
Remember this series is a spin-off from my previously posted
BB9 series plan, where the main idea was about re-establishing Big Brother, not revolutionising it. There were a few twists along the way, but the aim was to do what we did well - and that's the idea here too.
Therefore this series won't be revolutionary - the twists are relatively simple, and the main launch twist is nicked from the USA - a twist that while I'm not sure would work too well for the main series, I think for Celebrity Big Brother it's perfect.
The original format is therefore the basic mechanics of this show, but unlike the current producers I'll be taking into account that this series only lasts three weeks, hence using a half-week cycle rather than pretending it's a regular series and then realising in the last week you've got to kick 8 people out in 4 days.
It's also worth remembering my BB9 plan was based on what I thought the show needed after BB8, so what we actually saw on TV in the last year needs to be wiped from your minds. My BB9 didn't have Heaven and Hell or Head of House!
BASIC RULES
10 housemates will enter on launch night. There will be no late arrivals.
Nominations are the traditional format of nominating two people each, with the top two up for eviction. Nominations and evictions take place twice a week.
There will be tasks twice a week for the food budget, with additional individual and group challenges for further luxuries and prizes.
And like with my BB9, all food must be made from scratch - there will be no ready made pizzas etc. on the shopping list! If housemates fail to win their food for the week they will live on the Tin Can Lottery - unmarked tins of food supplied by BB.
Finally, Big Brother will stay out of the running of the house - that's down to the celebs to arrange. Big Brother is only concerned with enforcing the rules of the game unless someone seriously oversteps the mark.
