Have a public online poll as a backup. If the housemates fail to reach a majority decision on the Friday they revert to that poll.

Not really. BB14 had a mix of entertainment and bores in the final, the public vote keeps it balanced.

Sorry but you can't have a format without contingency plans for loopholes, the entire show would fall apart

Sounds fair, that's all he needed to say

I personally wouldn't see the point in having noms and then another vote though, you may as well scrap the noms and just have a straight eviction vote...the results are going to go the same way

Ye but the entertainment needed twists to save them or else it would've been all bores

I don't think this would work well. Once you take away the public vote you take away caring about the personalities of the players. Game play will take over the show, the producers will start using the DR to manipulate people and you'll lose 'Big Brother' DR sessions as they are no longer important. DR session will become edited for game play and become extremely fake, just like the US format.

I already hate the US style editing where we cut to and from a housemate in the diary room describing in banal detail something which we're watching for ourselves.

[Videostar]

Terrible idea, the HM's would just vote out those who cause friction and who have strong personalities...we'd be left with a BB4 type of house by week 4...no thanks.

From now on its up to the housemates who stays and who goes.

Simple but explosive plus we wouldn't have to sit through endless reminders of the telephone numbers to evict on eviction shows.

Also we can finally be done with the public voting out the bigger characters. Maybe only let the public vote on the winner and that's it.

EDIT: Can I please add a pole to this simply with 2 options saying Good idea? Bad idea?

This is a brilliant idea!! And in the last week we only vote for the winner!!!!!

[Beastie]

And all the housemates should be free to talk about nominations.

I don't think so. With the freedom to talk about nominations I am sure the housemates would be savvy enough to pick on the ones who are most likely to win (usually the quiet, boring, harmless ones)

Better than any tacky showmances shoved down our throats.

Hmmm, fair point.

[Will.]

I think A big twist, that would blow the nation, would be to have a young housemate, like 15 or 16. Im 15 and would definitely go on. I think it would be great if the housemates voted out each other.

[armand.kay]

Yass!!
but I think they should be aloud to discus nominations/eviction vote it will add the tension and make it less predictable. If one housemate gets the most nominations then they will obviously be voted off.

[Josy]

Horrible Idea IMO. And definitely one that would put me off watching after all these years.

The public are what keep this show going, they have so much interest because they are allowed an input, watch to form opinions on the hm's and then enjoy getting the chance to get rid of the ones they class to be arseholes, not to mention the money that's generated through the votes..

Also this is not the US and I don't want our BB to be anything like that one, if I did I would watch the US one.

[armand.kay]

The us format is flawless because the final is hardly ever boring even though the public don't vote.

No, there are valid reasons the underage can't go in.

Teen Big Brother being one of the obvious.

I agree, losing control over the "baddies" would just annoy people

[reece(:]

The public cannot be trusted, ditch their vote

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The public **** up every year. You have to admit the public almost allways kick out the entertainment and almost allways vote for the bore to win.

Take the control out of their hands and make them learn their lesson for abusing their power to vote all these years lol.

[Scream]

they just need to STICK to three people up in a vote to save and not make silly mistakes like letting the public vote on week 1 who should be up for eviction and then be evicted... (Sallie, Gina, Dexter!?!)

It seems really crap...I also would expect people to be less argumentative with each other because they'll get votes against them and be off. It seems weird.

[Apple202]

no imagine if this was BB13 Conor would have won

[Marsh.]

I enjoy people like Sallie getting booted first.

They are not entertaining. They take over the show with their attention seeking, selfish antics.

Yes because Sam was far more entertaining than Sallie.

I have no words lol.
