I thought it would be a good idea to think of suggestions for next year, what do you think would make it better? For me it's:

Positive Voting
This will encourage endemol to edit the housemates in a more positive way, and the whole show in general won't be centered around 'hate', giving it a better feeling throughout. It would also help get rid of the less entertaining housemates aswell.

Less Information from the Outside World
All the new hms coming in late are ruining the concept. They all know who is loved and who is hated and it ruins the aspect of the show. If Susie hadn't gone in knowing Grace was hated then maybe she would of been in a lot longer. It would also make the show fairer throughout, regardless of how the hm is percieved on the outside. Also, the crowd should either be told to shut up when davina speaks to the house, or she should speak to the house from the studio. These constant chants that we hear every single week chanting to get one hm out or the other is just ruining the concept, and making one hm feel like crap. But, this is unlikely to happen because BB enjoys seeing the housemates confused about the chants they've just heard..

Less Messing with Nominations
There has been too much meddling this series, maybe if BB didn't meddle so much than we wouldn't of had Grace and Nikki's departure so early on. The hms should decide who is up, and then the public should decide who goes, simple as.

Less Booing
The crowd have improved this year, with only Susie, Grace and Sezer getting booed. But the treatment of Nikki was, maybe, justified but I don't think it should have happened to her. Hms who perhaps can't handle the thought of being booed should be treated lightly in my eyes. It's horrible seeing someone break down on tv or terrified of facing the baying crowd. It's altered certain hms behaviour this year and should not happen again.

Better Tasks
This year, some of the tasks were either too easy, or just a bit boring. I think BB could perhaps put more effort into the tasks next year. And I also think it would be great to re-introduce the fining of the prize fund (like in BB5). It was a good addition and made the hms work alot harder.

Better Twists
Next year there should be better twists, as this year have all flopped due to lack of soundproofing, chants and dull hms. I think having two houses could be interesting, but not lasting for the entire series.. Diving the group between women and men could also be funny too.

well, i can't think of much more your suggestions?

BUMP! I didn't write 6 paragraphs for nothing

If they do put in new housemates, they must be put in before day 20..Jayne/Nikki were examples of the public knowledge getting out.

They could use Australia's vote to evict/vote to save voting.

[Edwin]

How does australian's voting system work?

[Chrizzle]

I think we should be able to vote into a Love Shack kind of thing like Love Island, every Wednesday live.
We vote our two least favourite housemates into a Punishment Room, where they get punished and humiliated.

[Edwin]

But then the hms would know who is liked and who is disliked..

[Chrizzle]

Hmm.. good point

Ok. They get voted into a different themed room
Sometimes its good/sometimes its bad

The Public get to Vote to Save & to Evict. Then they take the save votes a housemates has from there evict votes and housemate with the highest merged vote is evicted.

Sound a bit complicated but isnt really.

[Chrizzle]

What channels are the other BBs on?

Suggestions For BB8?

Yeah, Iv'e got an idea.

I think they should create a house and fill it full of cameras.

Then they should put a bunch of people into it and broadcast what these people get upto.

At least one of these people whould be a complete ar5ehole, one should be a complete nutter and at least one should be fit but boring. At least 5 of them shoukld be have fake personalities.

They should evict one of them each friday by nomination from the others and public vote. The winner should get Ł100,000 and have all their secrets exposed by the tabloids

What do you reckon? Should be a hit!!!

[GDJ]

Very good post Edwin. Hope Endemol has read it.

How can't you understand? Simple really...

Say someone had 50% of the votes to evict but had 20% of the save votes. The 20% is taken away from the 50% and you have a total of 30% of the votes

It was used first this year

CANCEL THE SHOW !!!!!!!!!!!

[Blowout]

If you don't want to see it then simply don't watch it.

[devilsadvocate]

nice post edwin.

one sugestion would be to have a themed BB(not celebrity),i.e twenty some-things only,or a twins only BB.it's just a sugestion.

i disagree with the less booing thing though.i'm not saying that there should be more booing,but if HM's want to go into the BB house then they have to take the rough with the smooth.i feel that this some of this years HM's were a bit naive,(lea,aislyne,grace),they just assumed that no matter how they looked or behaved the public would automatically cheer them when they got out.

heres a football analogy.if you play badly you get booed,if you play well you get cheered.

do you think aisleyne will still be bawling her eyes out next week when she checks her bank balance......mmmm???

slightly off topic,sorry.

I agree with the booing, it definately adds spice to the eviction nights, and it's not too lovey dubley like BBAUS, but I don't think people who can't handle it should get booed, for example.. Nikki, you could tell that she wouldn't be able to handle being booed like grace or sezer could.

[devilsadvocate]

well if they can't handle the booing then maybe,just maybe,they should'nt go into the house in the first place.

i'm sure the channel4 people sit them down and tell them that there is every chance that they may wind up being national 'hate' figures.

they can't expect not to be judged on the way they behave.prime example being nikki.calling BB 'f-ing swines',telling fellow HM's how she really 'hates aisleyne',and proclaiming to be the 'best one in here'. then folding like wet tissue when she receives (very few) boos.

my point is they can't have it both ways.
nice discussion.

[J.C.]

They should for once put a more representive group of people in the house. It doesn`t have have to thrive so much on emotional pain.I want`histerically funny big brother`

[arista]

Sack the Endemol Task Staff.

And the Endemol Producers.

They Failed big time.

Tasks should be Hard not gentle
this year they were not good at all.

[Aflamo]

All Big Brother needs is good housemates.

[sol]

No bringing back ex-housemates, inless they haven't been in the outside world (Emma and Michelle, BB5 Bedsit was fine).
Chanting during the interviews on the final should be banned, also when Davina is telling the house who is next to be evicted on normal eviction nights. Booing and cheering is fine though, just now "Get Grace Out" or "off off off".

[stacey]

i think they should get rid of the staff and give the jobs to us lot
