BB5 and 9 silent protests weren't exactly boring

I actually can't remember them, but at least with those protests the housemates were doing it voluntarily and it was part of a bigger "storyline". The action of being silent could be seen as funny from a viewers perspective, as it was rebellious behavioour against Big Brother.

A task of forcing the housemates to be silent just wouldn't work. It's a poor idea.

Dunno, but I think giving them buzzwords would be good like they can't say certain words. They did it in BB10 I think (some of them couldn't swear for some reason, can't remember why. If they did they were put up for eviction)
