housmates are always going to nominate the most controversial housemates
that's why Paula and Speidi got nominated first

the first 3 evictions should be a vote on the whole house
then after that the housemates can nominate

by then, there will be a smaller clique of dull housemates and they cannot vote in a block against the more interesting and solitary housemates
they may even break up as some of them are evicted early
it will be a better programme overall

Been thinking this lately.. or what if instead of the HM's nominating housemates to leave, they nominate housemates they wanna stay, basically reverse of what it is now, atleast if one of those controversial housemates is up then they will be against 8/9/10 other people, hmmm

Dont really think that would work, some of the best HMs didnt start to get good until a week or two into the show

I think it should be like BB1/BB2 where there isnt an eviction for the first 2 weeks so we get a chance to know theh housemates and they can build popularity with the voters.

The British public tend to react badly to someone different but after a while get to like them.

I had an idea a couple of weeks back but didn't post it, how about:

NOMINATIONS:

I've heard a bit about BB Australia's new nomination system using points allocation or something, each housemate gets 5 points (I think) to allocate however they choose between their two nominations, the two or more with the most points are up.

Well, how about we introduce the same thing here, but each housemate gets a different number of points depending on how well they fair in a weekly task (similar to Save & Replace). For example;

12 housemates. A task where the outcome will result in each housemate being ranked from the winner to 12th.

1st - 12 points
2nd - 11 points
3rd - 10 points
...
11th - 2 points (a normal nomination)
12th - Doesn't get to nominate at all (and possibly faces eviction, not sure on that though)

Works in the same way, each housemate can split their points between their two nominations however they want, and the housemates with the most points (which I think should be a minimum of three) face the public vote.

VOTING:

This'd never happen and I'm not convinced I'd want it to myself although it's an idea, and one that'd certainly save the bigger characters.

Instead of a phone vote, the public is told that at the end of the week, the housemate(s) that have been discussed the most on social media sites, forums etc, will be saved, and the evictee will be the person who receives the least discussion/attention. You could have all those stats guys like that one who goes on BOTS working it all out. Perfect way to get the dullards out but of course controversial in getting rid of the public vote, although let's be honest they haven't got much of a clue anyway.
