Default Ideal length and number of housemates for bb10..?

How can they improve the show in these aspects for next year? Longer or shorter? More housemates or less?

I think 16 housemates at the start worked really well, it gave us a great range of people. As for length, I like having 13 weeks.

I think BB9 proved that 13 weeks can remain entertaining, so I'm happy with that...

I think 16 housemates on launch night, with 1 extra housemate going in the next week with some sort of secret mission. That leaves 5 in the final week, if any walk/removed, replace them.

I would like about 11 weeks next year
The last few series all get boring around about week 8/9 so if the series would shorten it wouldn't be that boring.
I think 11 weeks with 16 housemates plus replacements.

I would only shorten it slightly to 90 days, so it launches on the Sunday rather than Thursday.

They'd be no first week eviction so the first eviction would be on Day 13, with 11 evictions and then the final (with 5 in the last week).

That requires 16 HMs, ideally starting with 13, with 3 moving in later. A maximum of 18 HMs would be about right.

Ideally:
10 weeks
18 housemates, all entering on launch

Unfortunately, I've heard rumors about BB10 and apparently that's not the plan.

35 Days

434 Housemates

One Room

They must all kill eachother to win..... £1,000,000,000,000

The room is the size of 20 football pitches long, and 5 pitches wide

There are weapons

At day 10, 20 and 30 - 5 new housemates will enter

Aliiances will be made, bonds will be broken.

They must eat other people, and drink their own urine to survive.

Members of the public will decide who they want to automatically kill, this person will be shot at by a firing squad of the Big Brother crew.

Who dies? JOO DECIDE
