[Jarrod]

Format Changes - Part 1

Nominations
Nominations will return in a new way. Every Sunday, Housemates WILL nominate in the Diary Room. This will take place live on Channel 5, and Housemates will only have one minute to nominate each Housemate and give their reasons for the nominations. If Big Brother doesn't believe the reason is genuine enough or that the reason isn't valid, the Housemate nominating will be punished.

Shopping Tasks:
Housemates will take part in weekly shopping tasks on Monday and Tuesday. These tasks will focus on the psychological and physical side of the Housemates capabilities. Housemates will only win up to £300 for shopping a week. If they fail the task, Big Brother will deliver ALL meals at set times, and the meals will be the only source of food in the House.

Prize Fund/Fine System:
This year, the Big Brother Prize Fund will stand at £1 Million. This is not guarenteed, and Big Brother is introducing the fines system seen in Big Brother Australia. The fines system allows Big Brother to reduce the prize fund by £10,000 every time a Housemate breaks a fundimental rule of Big Brother. For example, everytime that a Housemate discusses nominations the prize fund will go down.

The Housemates remaining in the last week will be given chances to win back some of the lost prize money.
