Back then big brother was cool and nice. He gave the housemates rewards via America's vote or food competitons that were selected via America's vote.
Back in BB2 and BB3 it still felt like a social expirement as I think in the first week big brother gave the housemates a camera to record stuff in the big brother house. I think big brother gave them a half basketball court, a trampoline for Will, and they did in fact have a housepet for a while (a pot bellied pig that belonged to one of the housemates). Also the comps were creative and NOT RIGGED and in editing there wasn't music in every clip.

Man i miss Arnold Sharpiro (BB2-BB7 head executive producer)

They just need to fire Grodner's ass.

The show was so much better with Sharpiro in charge.

grodner- half the seasons she did were great! the other half - complete ****e!
Great - BB8, BB10, BB11
****e- BB9, BB12, BB13 ( This one was close to good )

Completely agree. I just rewatched BB3 episodes 1 and 2 and it felt like Big Brother. The houseguests were getting ready in the morning, talking in the backyard, etc. Not just saying "funny" things in the DR or talking strategy 24/7 while annoying music plays in the background. And it would be awesome if we had another hated winner like Jun or Maggie.. but that won't happen.

I disagree. Things are going swimmingly, CBS is happy, Endemol is happy, based on the ratings the fans are happy. Why would they change anything? They'd be crazy to make any major changes.

The only thing i'd like to see change is the house, they need a new house, it seems like forever since they renovated it completely. I'd like to see a new house layout.

We might get one but it won't happen BB is too much of a cash cow for CBS but if they do revamp the layout they must also put in HD cameras

1. Big crowd like BBUK that can boo or cheer
2. No music over the highlights
3. Better highlights covering actual life in the house, not just strategy.
4. Longer eviction episodes or four episodes a week. Or maybe a Saturday episode with bonus footage and past houseguests + most recently evicted houseguest
5. More diverse casts

It would be delicious.

Not too bad
1. Even if you add a big crowd they won't boo in America unless they're pissed off about a result
2. could actually happen
3. yes
4. I would rather see a BBLB like show on Shotime but i agree with the rest of the stuff
5. YES

That's a good idea. I think on the Superpass website they have some form of little brother, don't they? I've never watched it so I don't know if it's anything like BBLB UK.

Multiple shows about bb hosted by former hgs like Kevin bb11 and Chelsia bb9 or Howie and Janelle the legend.

I found BB2-6 much more interesting and endearing series's (Is that a word? series's?). I didn't find it too bad in BB8 but recent series's editing is so candy coated.

ANd the comps were creative

For example
There's that competition on AS where the whole house was woken up every 15 minutes and they had a veto competition where they had to guess a popular bb phrase backwards in the middle of the night where houseguests could give items to other houseguests that were designed to give disadvantages (IE Headphones with loud noises, worms crawling all over your feet)

[MeMyselfAndI]

My two favourites are BB6 & BB8, I've only seen BB5-BB13, so i guess i agree.

[reece(:]

i just hope it doesn't keep recycling competitions, i loved some of the ones in bb4 cos they had originality

i don't remember some of the early ones but BB7 (The Last Shapiro Season) had some brilliant comps (IE Woke up the house every 15 minutes with loud phone calls and then in the middle of the night had the POV comp which required staying awake and the comp where former hgs looked like ghosts via the camera runs. Allison scared the crap out of Janelle )

1.No.
2.NO.
2.Yes
4. No
5.Not nessacarily, because people whined about diversity and then we got bb13 noobies. aim for entertainment value, not diversity

I don't mean racial diversity, I mean diversity in general. The last couple years people have been way too similar and boring.

by diversity i thought you meant racial, age, lifestyle ect. but i think it should be based on the personalities

[BBfanUSA]

personality, but i would like to see some racial diversity in the house. i mean we havent had a asian in years since Jun won it besides Kevin
