Just some ideas for twists I've thought of.

Big Brother's Long Goodbye

It's eviction night. Davina talks to the house and announces who is evicted and leaves for 30 minutes as per. Then When Davina returns instead of telling the evictee they have 30 seconds to say they're goodbyes - they have 1 WEEK.

That housemate then stay in the house for another week but life is very different for them. They have no rights to nominate and are not elligible to eat anything from the shopping budget. Instead they will be given 3 bland but nutrtious meals in the diary room every day. Big Brother will no longer address them by name, instead as "Evictee No.6" (I'm thinking Week 6 is an appropraite time to do this). Their suitcase will not be returned until they leave the house, they will instead be provided with overall with the word Evictee No.6 on the back which they must wear from now on. They must live in the house but they're housemate status is no more. They must live amingst those that they no have nominated them. They must live knowing that the public hates them.

However in order to entice them to stay, Big Brother will award them with a cash prize. Something small, maybe £2,500.

Then come next Friday, that housemate will leave the house and hour before that weeks eviction. They will be called to the diary room, collect their winnings and Big Brother will thank them for being a house guest. They will then be order to walk through the house and leave immediately. They are not allowed to make any contact with their fellow housemates and must leave as they are.

Big Brother's Big Prank

It;s after the 30 minutes. This weeks evictee walks up the stairs. The doors open and . . . nothing. No crowd, No Davina, nothing. (Think Jade's second eviction meet Charley's first eviction). The Gate in front of the door is locked. Big brother then talks to them and tells them to return inside immediately. Wehn they return they see a door. A bright red door with the words push on it. Little do thye no that the door has just recently been painted and unfortunately hasn't fried yet. This is the beginning of the worst week of their lives. They will live in a small confined room on their own. They will be set gruesome tasks by Big Brother. How they do in the taks effects they're former housemates a great deal.

They alone will work for this weeks shooping task. They alone will work for their housemates rights to nominate. Then next week as the next evictee is walking up the stairs, guess who they meet - last weeks evictee. One is walking out. One is walking right back in. Back in to one big mess of angry housemates who didn't get to nominate or perhpas are on a basic shopping budget all because of them.

[MORE TO COME]

[Sam!]

Wouldn't the person who gets evicted and has to stay just walk? They could have a task to do instead. Like get evicted but have to nominate two of the housemates or sumin.

[Harry!]

That is a good task MrGaryy well done!

[Marsh.]

But i don't think the housemate would put up with the first one.
If they know they are going to be evicted anyway, they'd just walk.

Yeah i see your point. perhaps I might tweak to include a small cash prize at the end of it or something to entice them to stay.

[MrGaryy]

I've editted the first one considerably. In includes more details of their eviction aswell as how they would be coaxed to stay.

[MrGaryy]

Oh and I've decided to make this my BB10 thread. It won't include graphics but I will post all my ideas her, any changes I would make perhaps some house features, tasks, twists, ect.

[*mazedsalv**]

After Week 3 eviction the lines will open for your fave HM, the people with the least votes (6 of them) are then the only ones eligible to be nominated and at least 4 of them out of the 6 most unpopular ones voted by the public face eviction.

Should happen once (probably Week 7), the person who puts the least effort into the task on that particular week have to live sepreatley in a seceret hell place where tehre will be no food apart from bread, rice and water for a week and will live under horrible conditions.... insects all over the place.

A task that involves everything (stamina, enjurance, strength ect....).

One person chosen by the public will become the victim of many jokes played by BB and BB will tell the person to do various things to annoy the HMs, so basically, that person is BB's bitch, the housemates will not know about this.

If there is a couple split them up by putting them away from each other (if the couple annoy us), eg. would have worked well with Maxwell and Saskia.


I know these are bad, but i got them randomly from the top of my head.

Bitch your your skanky ideas outta ma thread. Stinken up the place . . .*slaps*

[Spike]

Both ideas are great, particularly like the Long Goodbye which could be used to get a weeks more entertainment out of a big character who has been evicted

[Conor]

These ideas are really good!

[BigOz]

The first one ain't so great, but the second one is quite good.

Woops actually thought this was an ideas thread for everyone tp put their ideas in.... sorry for ruining it!!

[MrGaryy]

Here is a new task meets twist I have been playing around with for a while now.

Blast From The Past Week

This week is all about Big Brother's past. The weekly shooping task will compromise of two parts with half the housemates playing each. The first part with be a guessing game. Housemate will be called to the DR and played conversations or phrases said by past housemate and will have to guess which housemate it is.

The second part is a play, the housemates will have to re-enact a famous scene from a previous series. They will be a given a script, a DVD player of the original event and costumes (The original event would be played to viewers before it airs).

*We would also see the retunr of the most famous mini task ever - the Box Task.

*One housemate will be given a secret mission to work ten famous BB quotes into conversation without their fellow housemate noticing (remember Jeremy's secret mission in CBB3?). They would then win a small reward like chance to see someone's DR confessions or maybe a message from home.

*The week would come to a climax with the return of an ex-housemate (preferrably someone like Chanelle, Charley, Kemal, Kinga.) They would stay for 4 days as a houseguest and would be set some sort of missiopn by BB which I have yet to develope yet. Then they would leave. (Kinda like Jimmy Saville's stay in CBB4).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thoughts?

[Sam!]

I love that Gary! Get Nikki in there for four days :P

[Harry!]

Blast From The Past Week is really good!

[MrGaryy]

I actually had it in my mind that Nikki is the one housemate I would not like to be a part of this. As much I loved her, I just don't think she would be capable of pulling off the mission.

Well that's most of the fans turning off isn't it! Even if it's coming to the end of it's life, the series needs to look forward, not back - and Big Brother was always at it's best when it acted like previous series didn't happen - so I'm not a fan of your Blast from the Past task. The box thing can easily be resurrected though by dressing it up as something new - the Aussie's did it last year in dog kennels.


As for your earlier post - fake evictions of any form are something I'd rule out, but I really like the idea of the Long Goodbye, but you have to really make it worth it for the evictee - and frankly they'd probably think they could quit and make the money on the outside. I'd also keep it a secret - do it as the first eviction, but the other HMs won't know there is an eviction. Call the evictee to the diary room and tell them they'll be leaving in a week, but can't tell the other HMs.

We've basically done the box tax twice since BB6- BB7's waiting game and that thing in BB8 where they had to lie in fish guts

Different concept but basically the same thing

I don't think it would work again anyway, it was just that mix which made it work so well. The CBB version was nowhere near as good

[Brekkie]

It depends on the format - if we go the HoH route the endurance tasks are essential - the US had 2-3 every year, and they're always the most memorable HoH challenges.

The real issue here is pathetic producers worrying about Health and Safety, so giving them a toilet break every 20 minutes!

[*mazedsalv**]

I really want to see 1 classic task back and it should be the box task, all the other tasks should be new tasks.

The box task in BB6 was the best because they were teh best bunch of HMs they could have done it with "You shut up!" "No you shut up!" "You Shut Up!" going on for ages ... but the CBB4 was good too.

By doing it in secret in would practically eliminate every single aspect of it that I mentioned.

[Glenn.]

I like your 'Big Brother's Long Goodbye' twist, and I can really see it working, if tweeked a little like Brekkie suggested. I dont think the box task should be brought back, and Ex-Housemates for that matter, again I agree with Brekkie, BB needs to move foward, not back. But you got some really good ideas

[MrGaryy]

Right, a word on tasks.

BB8 and BB9 has possibly the worst tasks the show had ever seen. While mnay of these tasks failed to impress was due to lazy housemates (BB8, No Sleep task, it worked on BBAU, lazy housemates were the reason it failed.) Or housemates that seem to forget they are on TV and want to constantly bring diplomacy into everything (the CBB4 Box Task could have been a huge success if George had not insisted on just choosing someone to win). However, the blame mostly lays on the fact that so many of the tasks these days involve dividing the housemates into little groups.

Perhaps the best example of this would be the French task in BB9. Bex, Stu, Mikey and Lisa cycling, Rex and Kat eating a bagette, Rachel and Maysoon performing a mime, Mo and Dale tasting wine - it's all so divided that not only does eliminate the chances of housemates pooling together for moral support and getting a community spirit but is also making more work for the task team - which is already running dry - than is necessary. Why decide to instead of making one or two big, simple, effective tasks for everyone to part take in, choose to make numerous little ones. Not only does it seriously decrease housemate chances of winning but it is also results in perhaps one mildly entertaining task (the cycling aspect) surrounded by numerous boring, bland, unnecessary little ones. It also means that while half the house mates are off doing their bit of the task, the other half or just sitting around in silly costumes. Maybe I'm in a minority, but watching arguably two of the most boring housemate of the series, Rachel and Maysoon, learning a 3 minute mime, is not exactly thrilling.

Nor, for that matter is watching two of the more memorable housemates, Rex and Kat, do nothing for two days until they eventually get to eat a big sandwich. Two things the task team really need to learn is that, for starters, the viewers get little or no entertainment out of watching the housemates sit around in silly costumes and secondly making housemates stuff their faces with either too much or disgusting foods, is both tedious and makes the show look like a cheap remake of IAC.

Their have been various other tasks that on paper had potential to be great but failed due to overtly dividing the housemates. Time Task (BB9), Temp Agency (BB7), Zoo Task, (BB9) BBTV (BB8), Japanorama (BB9), Seven Deadly Sins (BB8), ect. To prove my point arguably on of the most successful tasks of BB9 was the thriller task, as it saw for the first time since Week 1, all the housemates working together.

Going back to IAC, another thing they should realise is that, altho this may be a personal thing, I don't find housemates getting hurt (electrocuted) or made feel ill (Round about task) particularly amazing. When you first hear about it, it sounds great, but when put into action it's actually rather boring.

The tasks that have always worked the best are those that have the group working together. BB5 was probably the best for this, had many memorable tasks that saw all housemates involved at all times. The Bootcamp, Fast Food, and Wedding tasks are some of the best we've ever seen. However some other decent example were the Prison Task (BB7), Big Brother's Birthday Party (BB8), Room 101 (BB6) and the a fore mentioned Thriller Task.

PART 2 UP SOON.

[Brekkie]

To be fair I think with BB8 the reason most the tasks failed were that the housemates could just not be bothered. There was still the odd gem - the channel swimming task was classic BB really, while Big Brother's Birthday was a nice idea too, but it was mainly the lack of effort on the housemates part which scuppered the tasks.

Last year they were improved, but I agree they relied far too much on splitting tasks up - and doing them in 2 days wasn't a great idea either.
