According to the Sun Online today, BB producers are currently in talks about a possible new format, which has been tried out in American BBs:

BIG BROTHER could be inside the Channel 4 house during next year’s series.

Bosses are in talks to cast a contestant as head of the house for the first time in the show, hosted by DAVINA McCALL.

The lucky contestant would live in luxury with a private bedroom, stereo and posh food, while the others get basic rations.

The head of the house would call the shots and pick two contestants for nomination each week.The idea is being tried out in the US version of the show and has impressed chiefs at Endemol, BB’s production firm.

It is being billed as the follow-up to this year’s “heaven and hell”, in which the house was split into rich and poor sides.

The trial caused a string of furious bust-ups in the house.
Endemol boss Peter Bazalgette said: “We are interested in the head of house idea, which is working well in the States. It’s like having Big Brother inside the house.”

Channel 4 wants to make sure the series is next summer’s most talked about show.

This year’s series was the highest-earning BB so far, making £20million profit from phone votes, merchandise and sponsorship.

Don't think I like this idea - it's just another way of causing conflict and setting the housemates against each other, same as the bars did this year.

What do you think? Good or bad?
