Are there any changes that you'd like to see in the show this year? I know that I'd like a new outdoor set (like that's going to happen now), as well as a new BOTS set design and also less involvement from Marcus. Watching this clip of Dappy leaving in 2nd in January just really reminded me how much he makes the evictions unwatchable for me (skip to about 2:03). So yeah, less involvement from him in the evictions and launch/final shows please.

A redesigned stage area, bit sick of the one they have been using since 2011.

Last year I would have said the outside stage area, but for me, I think the eye stage is slowly becoming iconic to the show. I think the reason why people are wanting change is because every year in the C4 era, the staging would change.

However, other shows such as X factor, The voice, Jungle etc don't really change the main stage or set and they become icons of the show. The stage of BB now is recognisable, and I'm pretty sure that if you showed a picture of the set to someone who doesn't watch Big Brother, they'd be able to identify the show.

Just want it to go back to VTS really. Only thing I'm particularly arsed about as long as they have good housemates.

I really agree about Marcus' involvement on eviction / finale nights. I'm tired of him screaming into the House. Take it back to the days when a BB voice would do the announcement, please! This isn't a dig at Marcus, he's fine when he's reigned in, but he never is when doing these announcements. Also, even if he was less OTT for them, I still wouldn't love it. It really makes little sense for anyone other than BB to do it.

Compare with the typical C4 eviction (from around 2:17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6chF4bF4QI ).

Other changes I'd make that hark back to earlier series:
* Having the housemates all gather in the living area during nominations.
* Go back to the format of the C4 end-of-series montage. They'd show events on a week by week basis (ending each with the eviction and a fade out), and they were accompanied by a nostalgic, emotional song. Nowadays, we usually get a random mish-mash of events (with tacky on-screen subtitles, "LOVE!", "ARGUMENTS!"), and different songs, usually dance music. BB14 remedied this to an extent, it felt much more like the old style ones, but from what I remember CBB13 returned to C5 form.

C4's montages used to always make me feel emotional about the series ending. This is the sort of thing I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C3lkBs7Keg

This is a must

I still don't like that Emma speaks to the HM's before they enter the house, I much rather they did what C4 did when Davina just gave you a few facts about each the of HM.

This.

Improvements for me would be:

-Get rid of the studio right next to the house and have the housemates arrive in cars again. Have a studio built across the lot which gives them enough time to get there through the break for eviction, I hate the studio where it is and hate the housemates coming out of the eye.

-No interview from Emma before they go in. Just walking across the runway (if there has to be one) with a song being played and have Emma tell us a few facts about them as they walk up the stairs, NOT Marcus.

- Big Brother voice for evictions. I love the '10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ___ YOU HAVE BEEN EVICTED, PLEASE LEAVE THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE', I don't like Marcus doing it.

I agree with this. I was also watching BB 4 last night, and in 2003 they brought in the HMs with just the press and a few of their family and friends present to say goodbye. I like the idea of not bringing them in to immediate cheers or boos. As it is, they give them an idea of whether the video introduction has made them liked or hated (or prompted a "meh"). I don't like encouraging the HMs to change their personality right off the bat or getting them arrogant.

No more twins! BBs seem to cast twins, either as individuals or together, an awful lot. I liked twin BBCAN1's Alec (though not his pal Peter, ugh), but a lot of the twins they cast (especially as a pair, to be fair) seem insufferable.

I'd like an end to having the HMs not eat semi-decently. Hungry HMs lack energy and are boring.

An entertaining winner.

Editing style. Make it so daily dr interviews are compulsory for all housemates more detailed and used to narrate(less Marcus) and show housemates internal thoughts in the episode.

I'd rather they didn't.

It results in mindless Geordie Shore like crap. On US reality shows it amounts to us watching an event unfold then watching someone describe what we just saw.

They started to bring that in during BB14 with a housemate explaining a task instead of simply letting us watch.

I'm talking less Geordie shore and more come dine with me.

Contestants don't narrate the action on Come Dine with Me, they have a narrator.

I'm talking about the parts where they do eg A and B are snooping through C's room.. A in their interview- "so me and B go in to C's room and start looking though the draws"....

I'm not saying they should do it all the time, it's just a nice way to show what a housemate is thinking when they do/say something.
Pits just an idea I'm not that fussed about it tbh.

The removal of names on screen, reminding us who each person is- it's too MIC or TOWIE!!! If they aren't willing to allow this change, maybe either scrap them after week 1 (when we know their names), or after the first advert break. I mean even the housemates are getting access to tablets, almost everyone has access to the internet, if the suddenly forget a hm name and MUST find it immediately!! I just don't know how we coped back in the C4 days, when we never had names on screen!!

[King Gizzard]

maybe a pet sea lion

[Me. I Am Salman]

zero outside contact
zero music
zero montage

[Brooklyn]

- More natural editing style
- Marcus not screaming
- New set
- Less twists

None of these will happen, mind you.
