Well, the left hall leads to the brand new...

Nominations Room

Spoiler:

Obviously I've shamelessly nicked this from Big Brother Australia, but if I were executive producer, this is how I'd work it:

Every Monday, a live show takes place on Channel 5 in which housemates will be called to the Nominations Room to make their nominations for the week. They will have five points to split between their two nominees, and the three nominees with the most points face eviction.

One by one, when instructed, housemates will step forward and enter the soundproof booth to nominate. Unlike the BBAU chamber, it is not see-through - the rest of the housemates will instead be looking at themselves in the giant mirror.

When in the booth, housemates will have a limited time to make each nomination. They must clearly state whom they are nominating, how many points for, and their reason for that nomination. Big Brother will not accept paltry reasons, e.g. 'they're missing their family', 'they don't want to be here any more'.

Once a nomination is accepted, the chair of the housemate that was nominated will light up in red. They'll be able to see this in the mirror - and because it's see-through on the other side, the camera will be able to catch their reaction while remaining focused on the nominator.

However, each time housemates fail to satisfy Big Brother with their nominations, they will receive a penalty nomination point themselves.

Once all the nominations are complete, Big Brother will confirm who faces eviction and light up their chairs. Housemates will then be allowed to remain in the nominations room for up to half an hour - covered with live feed on 5* - where they will be allowed to discuss what happened during that night's nominations. They won't be allowed to discuss or influence future nominations.

If housemates wish to leave the nominations room before Big Brother kicks them out, they can - but once they're out the door they cannot discuss nominations at all.
