They were basically scrapped this series, and the public hated it.. So yeah they probably will, you're right.

I agree with this kind of, C5 has killed BB pretty much, I'm bored of moaning about what they do because they don't care about the fans so I know they wont listen to what people want.

SURELY its the very basis of the BB experience and something you should be championing
Nominations doesn't hinder the natural progression of storylines, constant interference does. I want the show to go back to having a regular, consistent nomination format without the producers trying to out-twist themselves week after week.

If certain housemates decide to use their nominations on a strategic level, so be it. I don't see how that would be hindering story progression, a housemate playing a strategic game is a storyline itself.

The fundamental aspect of Big Brother is the social experiment, putting together different people and seeing what happens. Nominations (where we truly get to see how people are reacting to one another) is a big part of this. Stripping that aspect wouldn't be amplifying the core aspect of the BB experience, it would be draining from it.

I just want the series to play out naturally. Housemates nominate, public evict, and repeat. And if they feel the need to add a twist one week (because a completely twist-free BB is definitely too much to ask for now), so be it.

I understand what you're saying and why you feel that way, but it's not something I'd like. Although, your suggestion may actually be preferable to the current state of nominations.

Simply forcing the same tired format on a new audience only serves to beat it into the ground further.
It has changed and look at the ****e it has become recently.

Viewing figures tell a tale.

While we're at it why don't they bring Top of The Pops back, but without the music!
The music part was so outdated and unnecessary.

Do nominations really exist now? I mean noms have moved so far away from the original concept we hardly have proper nominations these days.

Please go back to the proper noms when if just two that had the most noms, they were up or if the second amount had three or four each, they were up too. Solves all the BB manipulation BS, apart from the edit. Live feed would help with that.

The deadwood would be gone within a few weeks. The housemate wouldn't know who is popular or unpopular within the house and the dynamics of the house wouldn't be put in jeopardy.

When the eviction is announced don't call the names of the housemates out and allow them to hear the crowd reaction.

This often changes the way a housemate acts
The reason this show is in the dire state it is, is because they have ripped up the format and pissed all over it. Bring back normal noms, with the 24/7 live coverage. And find at least 12 good housemates so it won't matter if a big character goes.

I think people should be over it now

It is not a question of getting over it. It is simply the fact that the show doesn't work without it and cannot work without it.

I Agree....its not nominations that are the problem, its the recruitment process before the show begins.....can they not find people with a brain..or a sense of humour who want to go in there ?

How did some of this years lot convince BB that they were interesting in their interviews.....i thought BB employed trained psychologists to do the job...A blind man on a galloping horse could see that these people are just not interesting.

If you were given a new job that payed 150 grand and you arrived for work and just did nothing how long would you last ? They are just lazy and should be embarrassed when they come out

I like this idea but then it would create more people PLAYING to the camera's. I'd rather something be done to force the to settle in and be more like themselves than worry so much about how they're perceived if that makes sense.

I think this wouldn't be a bad idea at all they'd probably make more money from doing this to be honest and it would mean all the deadwood would be go nearly on and not as many people would be trying to play the game as they don't have to be scared about being out up for eviction

If we have a ten-week series, at least seven of these weeks should be twistless nominations. I like a twist, but not when they dominate the game. The vote to save format should be implemented again to get rid of the bores, but the show need to work on looking for interesting and unique housemates rather than the token selection. Also, don't employ bullies and people who are just going to be mean the entire way through. We need housemates with layers. Get people with different beliefs and ways-of-living and you're sorted, no need for twists, they'll cause their own drama.

If anything they should just adopt the US format, one competition winner decides the 2 nominees.

No way give the public full control. Let them compete for immunity in various tasks and then have the public decide between the 2+ that lose.

Sigh... I agree with you OP, but some people here are so afraid of change and do not understand that the show does need a complete revamp to survive in today's television landscape.
