That is my point....that you do not get the point of BB.

To carry out your suggestion would be to turn BB into nothing more than a contrived soap opera with a termination date.

I love the evictions, they add a real spice to the house, and as much as we all complain about gameplaying, it's the heart of the show!

It's more contrived as it is. And the termination date is the same whatever.

Gameplaying was ok back in the day (BB5) but I think it's got a bit stale, it's just the same thing from series to series. Ben and Govan were a bit like caricatures at the start.

No its not....as much as the production team try to manipulate things, the public at the end of the day do get to decide. The HMs that usually fall into the "nasty" or "obnoxious" category, always end up getting evicted once the public get to choose.

After 11 shows....you can take that fact to the bank.

The end of your BB would be just one big eviction night and then emptiness. It would be the same feeling as the ending for the show Lost.

I agree the show has got stale....100%.

But its more to do with the same old same old production crew running it. They are what needs revamping.

Nooo! Govan was hilarious! They just never showed it on the highlight shows!

No I didn't say just one big eviction night, it could be spread over the last 3 weeks perhaps. But at least 2 thirds of the show could be about developing the relationships in the house through twists and nominations and public votes, with various rewards and punishments.

I don't like OPs' idea but I don't like the current system so much either (not that there's any time to change it now with this being the last).

Basically, I'd fancy an eviction every other week. I think that would have worked better. Too late though sadly.

i agree and disagree. nominations are what make people bitchy and form lick arses' and meanies etc and evictions make characters on edge and more interesting however i think once a week is a bit much.. maybe every other week? x

I think you need to review your own post:

"Maybe have evictions at the very end of the series but let the situation in the house play out with all HMs together."

I think most would assume the "very end" to be eviction night, and not the 3wks prior to it.

Maybe to you but not to me.

Anyway it's obvious all the evictions wouldn't be done on one night, there would be too many. Also they would want to spread the audience ratings out over several nights.
