Nominations is one of the key rules and concepts in BB. its one of the things i think should stay the same. Save and replace ruined it for me. That is why we were left with such boring housemates in the end.

It has bar a few weeks though throughout 11 BB series and 7 CBB series... its always 'nominate 2 housemates up for eviction'. Its what everybody expects and most importantly, what the housemates will be expecting, what happens when thats completely shaken up???

This isnt a permanent suggestion btw, just this series twist, or next year... instead of another house or whatever junk they try to pull off.

No its not, the housemates last year on a whole were a pretty poor selection. Think about... the most hated get put up for nom, the save + replace task is designed to get them a get-out-of-jail free card and put 1 of their targets up, it just didnt occur with the BB11 lot.

Also, the same old thing could be BB's downfall, sure hardcore fans love the process (me included, but I hate when its too predictable/block-voting), but a shake up may pull in more people and could be capable of causing some fireworks!

No, it isn't

Big Brother 4

Week 5

Cameron (getting special coverage) made his nominations from the Big Brother House in South Africa over the phone to Gaetano. Even though he was allowed to nominate, nobody could nominate him

Week 7

Ray, as leader of the house in Week 7, had to choose the three housemates to face eviction.

Think of how many weeks altogether there have been of BB and count the nomination twist weeks, not many... And also most of them were just benefitting the 1 HM and changing how many they can nominate/immuning somebody...


Did you read my post? This isnt about doing that, its about changing what youre nominating...

Aims of the Weeks;
Week 3 - introduces nominating to save.
Week 4 - doesnt work on a who gets the most/least votes system like usual, but who works out on totalling 0 (bar 3+ -3 or less which is unlikey, but is purely to try and help the most hated HM by the others to remain in the house another week).
Week 5 - makes new HMs work to keep their position.
Week 6 - hopefully removes some deadwood.
Week 7 - nomination process linked with task, 1st time 1 person up for eviction in a should they stay or should they go situation.
Week 8 - pure twist, again to help keep disliked HMs in the house to stay - for arguments!
Week 9 - public get more of a say, which is what we like.
Week 10 - shows what the HMs intentions are, will they agree not to vote then backstab?
Week 11 - finish the series off by making it more nicey.


Obvs these are just suggesting what they could do, people may have others which theyre welcome to say!

Not true, but some (sorta) have and Ive tried improving them on what Id like to see. And fair enough, but I reckon you would if it was done, itd certainly be more unpredictable and exciting.

No, it wouldn't - as I pointed out, BB has frequently bent the nomination/discipline rules to keep "preferred" HMs, e.g. Cameron, Charley, Makosi, in the house .....

Playing with nominations serves only to confuse the issue, both for the viewers and the HMs, who, as we have seen recently, have taken it upon themselves NOT to nominate, thus incurring more nomination-fiddling from BB .....

As we know, alienated viewers abandoned BB by the million - IMO,too many HMs and too many "twists" (along with appalling simple "tasks") did not encourage viewer particpation .....
