So I posted a thread earlier:
http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...d.php?t=284931 and I thought I'd kinda elaborate on the concept of 'Mystery Game'.
Big Brother: Mystery Game would firstly and most importantly go back to basics with the rules. Absolutely
no contact with the outside world, this means no letters from home, no tasks which involve the public voting on polls on things to do with housemates and what I think the show so desperately needs, Emma speaking from a silent studio so there are no public perceptions being given to housemates.
The live feed would return online at a small fee.
In order to have a stricter policy of rule breaking in the house: the traditional format to nominations would return, no face-to-face nominations, no nomination reveals, no twists, just simple nominations. A stricter Big Brother would come into practice with the return of 'three strikes and you're out' tagline. Housemates who repeatedly discuss nominations would receive a strike. Secret houses to be
completely scrapped in every single way. A jail should definitely return to the house and punishments should be made harsher. A series long policy of rule breaking removes money from the prize fund would be introduced which would involve say £500 - £1000 being removed everytime a housemate breaks the rules with
no ways to earn it back.
Changing The Game: The Secret Housemate
In attempts to freshen up the show and to make the title of the show an actual ongoing thing I've come up with a concept which could be tricky but could be great...
There is one undercover housemate who
is a housemate and are eligible to win however they're working under the instruction of Big Brother. Their job is to cause tension in the house and to manipulate the game. The twist is that not only do none of the housemates know who it is but neither does the public and the mole is only revealed when they have left the house. The housemates included in the series should have very feisty characters so that the game continues and the culprit isn't as easy to spot. Tasks can be involved with a mole right throughout the series such as planting messages, developing fake friendships and causing rifts throughout the house!
Changing The Game: The Tension Table
Another new feature I have created with this new concept is to include a new room in the house which has a large round table in it called 'The Tension Table'. Housemates sit around the table twice a week. Once during nominations - so basically they all sit together whilst nominations are ongoing in the diary room and whilst they are revealed straight after. The second meeting of the week should be for housemates to discuss a talking point given by Big Brother (possibly a VT shown of a bitchy conversation which has happened that week in the house), This feature could be a really big point for the mole to come in! (BTW, both 'The Tension Table' and 'The Mole' are working titles).
The House
I think that the house really needs a drastic overhaul. I think that the exterior set should be completely rethought of as well. Before the series, a basement would be dug out and this would be the new entrance into the house, so no more stairs to walk up. I've always thought there should be a proper upstairs and downstairs in the house! The Tension Table Room and The Living Room would be downstairs (where the housemates enter). There would also be a transparent vault thing in the house where all of the cash prize is! As housemates break rules and lose money, the cash is destroyed. (Obviously the cash inside would have to be fake).
Of course I know that this concept still needs a lot more thinking through but just wanted to get some opinions on it! I've been thinking about it for a while now haha. I really wish I was a BB producer lol
