even the housemates that I dislike, it feels like the house will be empty without them I wish there was another type of punishment, anyone agree?

[Supernovarolla]

I think the moronic booing every week is pathetic. Years back, the crowd only booed when a HM really deserved it. Now it seems they boo for the pure sake of it.

If it weren't for the fact that the average BB crowd member's knuckles drag along the ground, they'd probably throw rotten veg too..

..I suppose it's how they keep themselves occupied until dole day..

I've never viewed eviction as punishment, it's part of the game and without this we wouldn't have the wonderful nominations process.

I love them. Especially this series, even though I've disagreed with every result except Tashie going when up against Harry and Aaron.

Cannot wait for Friday, has the potential to be amazing.

I suppose I should say I love evictions, but I hate losing housemates, the more the merrier I always think

Since when was eviction a punishment - LOL !!! Eviction is part of the elimination process and I love them !

[Jackie]

I love them

[Doogle]

I love them but almost always miss the person

I completely see where you are coming from Fruit-cake.
I love the build up to big evictions, and I do get excited to see who goes.
If it is a character I really can't stand, then I might get a brief feeling of being glad when they are punished by being evicted and getting booed.
By the next episode though,(unless the person was extremely boring and dull), then you really do notice their absence in the house, and it does seem a bit like an empty space for a few days, or even weeks depending on how big a character they were.

I have always thought that a good format for Big Brother would be as follows:

Every week the housemates make two nominations as usual.
The public vote every week as normal so BB still make their money.

BUT nobody is evicted each week.

The housemates nominations and public's votes are build up and stored each week, but everybody remains in the house.

At the half way point, there is a multiple eviction, maybe even half the house or less, based on the amount of nominations and votes from the public that the housemates have accumulated so far.

(An alternative would be no evictions until final week, after the housemates scores/nominations and votes have been accumulated, although viewers might not have the patience for this)

I think this would be a much fairer way of doing things, and would make the show much more entertaining to watch for longer.
The bigger housemates would get to remain for longer. The shyer ones would have more time to come out of their shells, and we would get to see them actually interacting with the louder housemates after a few weeks.

Sometimes people become hated and then evicted over one incident, but if they had longer to live in the house, they could have a chance to redeem themselves with the viewers and their housemates.

We would get to learn so much more about all of the housemates. The ones who get evicted early are usually just seen as very one dimensional, they are either boring, or a bitch, and that's it.

Observing all of the housemates over a period of weeks, we would get to see different sides of all of their personalities, and not just the big side of the personalities of the people who usually get evicted first.

We could watch their "journey", and I think this would be interesting, because I always feel that there is more to discover about the early evictees, but we just don't get long enough to see it.

Every week Big Brother would have to inform the public about what each housemate's score/percentage was.
The housemates would be told nothing about who got nominated each week, or how many votes they got from the public.
Because of this they would just continue behaving as they normally would, and wouldn't start putting on an act because they are up for nominations as they wouldn't actually know about it.

They could be either loved or strongly disliked by the public and would have no idea. No housemate would have a clue who was going to get evicted at the half way point, so there would be lots of shocked reactions, and if there was housemates that the public really disliked, there would be huge anticipation and excitement by the public to finally watch this big eviction at the half way point.

To stir it up a bit, on the day before the half way point eviction, big brother could play back all of the weeks nominations, so they could work out who got the most nominations, but they would still not know who was going to be evicted, because they wouldn't know how the public voted had voted each week.

I would much prefer a format like this.

that sounds like a good way of doing it..or maybe have a lifeline, a bit like prison you have payroll and if you get nominated for a second time while on payroll, then you get booted

[Gillian-73]

I love them! i'll miss some housemates as and when they leave but that's big brother they nominate and they get evicted! can't wait for friday night.

Me either......... It's going to be a belter whatever happens !!

*is all excited*

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I love evictions when the odds are so close, & we the public are not certain who will go, that makes it all the more exciting.

Yep that would be an interesting idea too. I am kind of tiring of this original format. The people I want to stay usually get evicted early.

[fruit_cake]

Imagine Anton next week if he was put on 'payroll' having to slime his way back in with Arron and co, incase he got nominated again that would be sensational TV imo

[Chuck]

It depends, when Michelle and Vanessa were evicted in UBB, it was a lovely atmosphere, none of the housemates up for eviction was booed and they did not deserve to be.

But I usually don't watch BB on fridays because the crow boo for the sake of it and so far, the only housemate who IMO deserved to be booed was Rebeckah. Those people really make me embarrassed to even like this show.

I completely agree with the early evictions ruining the chance to get to know in more depth the personalities btw

It would be really funny, because he would just fail miserably as they would see through him, but it would be fun watching him try!

[Niamh.]

No!!! That's the whole aim of the game. I love eviction nights and I love the aftermath and seeing the dynamics change

[Rawrbear]

I love the surviving game play and one going out every week
but i do agree
Tashie and Maisy did not deserve boos and neither did Heaven to be fair

If he's a snake as you keep saying, he'll have a hard job sliming anywhere, far less back to Aaron and Co. Snakeskin is smooth and dry. No slime.
