Vote to save with a minimum of three up for eviction any one time.

Refusing to nominate housemates should face eviction straight away without interview or crowds......

The first genuine eviction should not take place for at least four weeks. Giving both house mates time to stew together and the public to better evaluate the housemates entertainment value.

At least three time during a series all remaining housemates should be up for eviction so as to give the public the chance to vote out those slipping beneath the radar......especially in the penultimate week such as this.....

Vote to save throughout the show may work, but i quite like the whole voting for the one you want out scenrio. But no harm giving it a try 1 series right?

Im liking the 3 minimum up for eviction, because its more exciting the more people are up. Normally with only 2 HMs up, you can easily tell which one is going. I think Freddie vs Marcus was the only tough call this series.

If not having 3 minimum up, I think BB should be as harsh as hell, and like you said, non nominating housemates should not be giving a warning but just told that they will be punished (they should be punished like put to jail or something small seeming) but also actually be put up automatically - and not be told the fact they didnt nom got them up. Also every rule break = put up for evcition + another punishment.

4 weeks is too long, id say the first week nobody goes, and nominations start second week in.

Altho we as a public hate gameplanners, putting them all up will result likely for gameplanners to go, so therefore gameplans wont exist for long in the show, most gameplans involve trying not to get up for eviction, but with them all having to go up at sometime, people wont bother with this - and it makes good tv watching people try to gameplan - even tho we have it! But maybe every first week of a new month all HMs take part in a task in which 2 or 3 are immune for eviction and the rest go up - instead of nominating, its different from always having nominations.

Just some ideas based on yours
