Okay, I know we have these threads everyday on here, so apologies but the search function doesn't work and the last one was probably 15 pages back.

Anyway, the producers seem to be pretty crap on the twists front this year, and I've seen some great ideas on here before, so let us know of your ideas.

The £50,000 Decision:
This idea is similar, if not identical to the C4 TV show 'Unanimous' a few years ago, so here goes.

All housemates are told to go to the task room and gather around a circular table. In front of the table is a case containing £50,000. Once there, housemates must remain silent and are told the following:

In a moment, housemates are going to make a very important decision, which could change someones life, or ruin others. Housemates are going to be given two minutes, in which to discuss as a group who they want to award £50,000 to. After this time, housemates will each vote seperately and secretly on cards which will be provided. For the housemate to win the £50,000, the decision must be unanimous, and everyone, excluding that housemate themselves, must have voted for the same housemate. If the decision is not unanimous, nobody will win anything, and the Big Brother Prize Fund will be halved to just £50,000.

After this, one housemate is called to the Diary Room to collect the voting cards, where they are also told the following:

As you are aware, housemates are about to vote for someone to win £50,000. However, not everything is as it seems. By coming to the Diary Room, you also have the chance to win some money. You are going to be given the oppurtunity to predict who you think housemates will unanimously vote to give the money to. If you correctly predict this, and the housemate you choose wins £50,000, you will win half of this, £25,000. However, if you fail to predict which housemate will win the £50,000, you will win nothing, and should you win Big Brother 2009, you will only recieve £50,000. Once you have made your prediction, you should use your powers of persuasion to make the group unanimously vote for this person. You are not permitted to tell your fellow housemates ANY of this information, and if you do, you will be punished.

This housemates then makes their prediction, and returns to the Task Room.

Housemates are then given two minutes to discuss amongst them who to give the £50,000 to, whilst the person who was called to the Diary Room is using their powers of persuasion as much as possible.

After this time, housemates must remain silent and each vote seperately and secretly on cards behind shields. Once done, each housemate in turn will reveal their vote and they'll find out if the decision is unanimous.

If it's not, the Big Brother Prize Fund is halved to £50,000.

If it is, and the housemate who was called to the Diary Room predicted it correctly, they both win £25,000.

If it is, but the housemate who was called to the Diary Room didn't predict it correctly, then the winner has an important decision to make.

They must choose whether to KEEP the £50,000, but in return halve the Big Brother Prize Fund to just £50,000, or to DECLINE the £50,000, and double the Prize Fund to £200,000.


That's my idea, sorry for the long post, and hope it wasn't too complicated.

they should bring back the heaven/hell or rich/poor divide!
i loved that!

After nominations - don't tell them who faces the public vote. Make them all pack their stuff. Let them know only in the first hour of the Friday prog.

more secret tasks too.

[Nebi]

2 minutes isn't enough, let them sit there until they all agreed on someone.

I recckon they should cover the house in velcro and make them wear velcro suits! soooo fun! (random I know but I had a dream!)

Punish Marcus for climbing n the roof by telling him that he has to be removed from the house. Put him in a secret room where he can watch Noirine and hear what she has to say about him behind his back.

[ILoveTRW]

reveal that noirin has an evil twin

[Jenateaj]

or make him shave his head and beard

I would like a task where something was kept secret from the other HMs like the secret room and Maxwell continuing shelling peas or whatever. That's fab.

Another idea:

Housemates nominate as usual on Monday, but on Tuesday night in a Live Show they are all shown Live to the house. After this, Big Brother calls one housemate to the Diary Room and they're shown on the plasma. Big Brother tells them that none of the nominations counted, and that by coming to the Diary Room they are up for eviction, and must live in Solitary Confinement, next door to the Diary Room. After this, the two housemates that this person nominated are also called to the Diary Room where they're told that they'll face eviction, and must live in Solitary Confinement.

However, once there the 3 housemates realise that it's not Solitary Confinement, and that it's a Luxury Pad with Live Feed from the house, comfy chairs, water beds, unlimited food, drinks, baths, spa kits etc. They're also provided with a laminate which tells them that they're not actually up for eviction, and the other housemates are. Until Friday the 3 housemates can watch Live Feed from the house and live in Luxury.

On Friday Davina will talk to the MAIN house and announce that they're all up for eviction, and reveal the names of the two housemates with the most votes. The housemates in 'Solitary Confinement' then appear on the plasma and they must then immidiately vote for one of the two housemates to be evicted. That housemate is then evicted.

A little while after this the 3 housemates are told to gather around a table in the Luxury Pad and are shown on the plasma in the Lounge. They're told that they're going to be playing for a share of £50,000 (similar to the ITV show Divided). They all have 3 cards with the figures '£25,000', '£15,000' and '£10,000' written on them. They're given 90 seconds to each discuss which share of the money they should have and after this time they'll each pick a card in secret, and will reveal their chosen share.

If the £50,000 is shared equally (so the 3 housemates agree on who gets 25K, 15K and 10K), then the Big Brother Prize Fund is doubled to £200,000. If they don't, and 2 or 3 of the housemates pick the same share, then it's halved to £50,000.

We put a wild bear in there and hope that Lisa gets mauled

[HELLIWONTGO]

I couldn't be bothered to read all that the op wrote, but I suggest the general public vote out all the 'characters' and leave us with morons and dummy's, oh wait a moment!
How about replacing Noirin with a poorer version tht just plays all other h/mates and seeks attention all the time, damn to late on that as well!

Very Simple Twist.......

Each Housemate would need to compete in a vote against a former (evicted) housemate. It would be a vote to save so for example you might have: Bea VS Sophia. If Sophia won the vote she would go in and Bea would be evicted but if Bea won she would remain in the house.

Each housemate would be randomly pitted against an evicted housemate (and maybe walkers if there wasn't enough evictees)

Maybe every 1 minute they take to think of who to give it to, the end of show prize drops by 10k
