Alright folks, I'm a newbie here but there is my idea for what they should do with BB8. I'd like your input and maybe you could help to expand on a few of my ideas?

BIG BROTHER 8 - THE BATTLE (could also be called "The Duel", "Survival of the Fittest", or "Only the Strong Survive")

This series of Big Brother would bring back the divide that we saw in BB3, but this time around, it would be much more competitive. I'm gonna try to explain it without being too complicated.. we'll see how well that works out..

In the first show on launch night, eight housemates would enter the house. The stairs would lead to only a lounge area and they would not be able to access other parts of the house. In the second show, they would be told to form into two permanent teams. In that second show they would compete in the new "task arena" to win access to live in the rich house. The others would obviously live in the poor house. Unlike BB3, the only areas where HMs from opposite houses can interact is in the garden and in the communal lounge, where the prison bars are once again set up. The rich/poor houses are completely separate.

Rather than have weekly tasks, the houses would compete in "matches" throughout the week for luxuries and parties. There would be a match for the shopping budget, with the winning house getting a luxury budget and the other house having to live on staples.

There would be no eviction in the first week. Instead, at the end of the first week, two new housemates would enter the house via the task arena. They would immediately compete in a match to determine who would live in the rich or poor house.

The first eviction would be in the second week. Eviction nights for the first few weeks would have two hour-long episodes: the first would have highlights and the eviction announcement, the second would have the evictee interview followed by two more housemates entering the house and competing in a live match.

This would continue until after the third eviction, the final two housemates would enter and 13 people would be in the house. No more new housemates would be introduced during the show unless someone walks or is kicked out.

Matches would continue each week and would become more difficult and strenuous as time goes on. Toward the end of the series, the housemates would compete as a group to live in either the rich or poor house. Also, there could be matches to keep the prize money.

The series would be thirteen weeks again. There would be a double eviction at some point so that only four housemates would be there in the final week (the way it should be, IMO).

I'll add more later. Feel free to add your ideas or ask any questions, I may have made this a bit too confusing.
