Housemate nominations need to be scrapped.
Hand the entire vote over the public and leave it as a vote to save. Nominations only allows the 'nice boring people' to remain safe for weeks on end. 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

Yeah with the way nominations have been in recent years they may as well not bother. I have championed an all house up weekly vote to save for a bit. But then realise ghastly people would forever stay.

Normal noms are largely boring and obviously don't happen much anymore so this would be fine by me. It's one of two options:
- A rolling vote to save across the series that doesn't restart (I think this would generate a lot of revenue), you could also have a leaderboard that's shown to the viewers but not to the housemates each week so as to increase competition between fans. - Implement the US format, either with or without a few tweaks to give the public some influence |

The show needs to be scrapped. I never thought it could sink lower than last year but the producers have managed it.

Officially scrapping nominations would be the final push that makes me quit BBUK for good. Nominations have always been one of my favourite aspects of the show and the lack of proper nominations we get now is frustrating enough.

The viewers have changed. The housemates have certainly changed. Nominations ensure that the big characters in the house are often on the chopping block

If it was axed you'd be calling for it to come back. Or you could try and find a solution to help nurture it back to health

POW! BLAM!

I thought "reverse noms" might be interesting, where the whole house is always up for the public vote, and then the HMs decide which of the two with the most should leave on Friday.

Scrapping the nomination process is a ghastly prospect.

Nominations or nothing, that's what I say.

In fact, that'd be pretty hilarious because most of the time they'd have to evict someone they all love and get on with cause they're nice and we get rid of dullards in the process <333 |

They are the focal point of the show and have been for 15 years. They offer reassurance that I'm actually watching Big Brother. Last edited by Ashley.; 07-07-2015 at 05:39 PM. |

And if I am holding on to the past, it's because BB of the past was immeasurably better IMO. As I said, the nominations interference nowadays is bad enough. Scrapping the nominations format completely would absolutely be the final nail in this show's coffin for me. BBAU did that for the first half of one of it's series, but I can't say it's something I'd love personally. Last edited by Lostie!; 07-07-2015 at 05:40 PM. |

Why aren't you open to the possibility of it adapting and changing to suit its current audience. Simply forcing the same tired format on a new audience only serves to beat it into the ground further.

Think about it, you let the public have a continuous vote for who their favourite is and you can guarantee that because of the general demographic of BB viewers/voters, all the boring but good looking men would sail through on the thirsty vote, that doesn't benefit the show whatsoever.

The format has evolved over the time but changing absolutely everything about it makes it not BB anymore. That's fairly obvious to anyone with common sense. |

No, they need to go back to a consistent nominations format.

It sounds like yourself and this "new audience" don't want Big Brother at all, you want a whole other show merely using it's name. |

Scrapping the threat of being nominated by having the entire house up liberates the housemates and allows stories to progress without Gameplay. SURELY its the very basis of the BB experience and something you should be championing
