There would be no haves, have not. I would take a page from BBUK and the HG's would have to earn not only their food, but personal items, beer, wine, even cigarettes and hot water. After earning whatever amount of money they could, they would then have to sit down and decided how to spend it. There would be a sound proof glass booth,complete with bed and bath area (enclosed toilet of course). If you came in last or were first out in comp you would be placed in the booth. I might be nice and let you pick a random enclosed card that would determine how long you stay in there. Anywhere from 1 to 24 hours. You will still be able to see the other HG but not hear them. The booth may also be used for rule breakers. There would be no retreads in the game. Now I might have All-Stars every 5 years or so. I would also take the past HG overall ratings for the last 5 years to determine who goes in the house. 7 of the most liked, 7 of the least liked. Nationwide auditions would mean something and the HG's would be pulled from there. Wannabes with agents would go to the bottom of the pile, unless I was totally wowed by them. There would be no HOH everyone would be on the same playing field. Ok, those are my, if I could rule BB. What are yours?

Yours sound much like season one. That was my favorite, they could pretty much say whatever they wanted without fearing too much. Eddie was not only the most outspoken, but the most fun as well. I agree that they should have to compete for EVERYTHING!! I remember our Angels throwing toilet paper over the wall...lol I would agree with the no HOH, and let the public vote for the nominees, while the hgs vote to evict. I like the veto, but it would be too hard, since the public would vote for the nominees. Unless they used it and then the next one with the most votes from the public would automatically go up. I also hate the models and actor types. Get real people from real interviews.

The thing is, when you make life too hard on the HG's, there will be mutiny. Now that the show isn't new, and in the BBUS house epsecially, it seems like you really have to stay far away from the line or people would be walking off left and right.

I don't see people walking out on Survivor. Although, the prize is double what BB is. And I do remember in S1 there actually WAS a mutiny, but it didn't go anywhere. I love the suggestion on how to cast All Stars! Brilliant. Season 1 was my favorite season too, and people still, to this day, do not want the public voting because of Chicken George's family stuffing the ballot box, and also saying that the public would vote out the most interesting people. Meanwhile, the HG themselves are the ones voting out the most interesting people. And, I wonder how DWTS and AI and other shows get away with public voting? I think we're stuck with this formulaic, predictable format, because it's just easier for the producers.

Two things: The HOH room should be only for the HOH, but that person can invite 1 person at a time in for a limited amount of time. The number of votes would never be revealed to the house. Julie would only say "the votes are in and Keith you have been eliminated" That way people could vote for who or whom they want and there would be no threats that you have to vote the way the house wants. We would know the votes, but they wouldn't. Everyone will probably disagree with me, but that is my opinion. LOL

Rose, I am talking about BB specifically. It's a whole different animal than Survivor. There is a whole different mindset of a contestant on Survivor than one on BB. They really aren't even comparable.

Bilox, most of what you typed sounds good except I'd want HOH's. The most interesting part of the show for me is how the hoh winner plays their role.

I'll give you one thing to show my point...Jeff and Jordan decided to go BB again so they could spend the summer together for free. They are expecting to be able to have an enjoyable time together. Do you think any couple in love would go on Survivor to spend an enjoyable summer together? I don't think so.

I'm thinking J&J did this way more for a chance at the $$ than to spend a summer together. They could do that w/o BB...

Julie, I have heard them say their reason for doing it again several times in the feeds.

No retreads. None. You had your chance and I don't want to watch you try again. No golden key nonsense where you get a month-long buy for doing nothing. Jordan was talking to Shelly last night telling her how she told someone (didn't catch who but it was a female) that her and Jeff had to stay long enough to at least make jury to "spend the summer together and have their time", otherwise she's gonna be "p*ssed". U.G.H. Entitled much?

I would get rid of the HOH being the only one to nominate. Everyone would nominate two people on a point system like BB Australia. The two with the most votes are up. If there is a tie more than two go up. The veto winner can use it on himself or anyone else but the person with the next highest number of points goes up. They could still all vote to evict since a public vote doesn't seem to work here. HOH would be in charge of giving out the weekly chores again like BBAU. Cook, dishwasher, laundry, bathroom, etc. and nobody else can do their job. It used to be so funny when someone other than the cook would taste the food before it was served and BB would take it away. I would give them a basic grocery list and they would play games and do tasks for grocery money. Rule breaking removes money. If they run out there would be pb&j provided. Occasionally they would do tasks for treats or alcohol. Nobody would be a have not.

Jordan is very worried that if one of them gets voted out before jury they will not be able to see each other all summer. I'm pretty sure that CBS begged(or paid) them to do the show. Jordan also has no interest satisfying horney house wifes by "making out " with Jeff on the internet.

They could do the public voting. I'm sure by now they have figured out a way to stop a phone tree. I mean come one all these seasons later? I would keep the HOH and veto. So far this season it is the only part that is interesting. Instead of slop, they could have the HGs earn the right to electricty, or the washer and dryer. I remember the year that they washed the clothes by hand. They had no entertainment. Now they give them pool tables, and they don't have to earn having the cover of the spa removed. Make them earn the alcohol. I know it's not Survivor but come on. Some days they sleep all day long. Must be hard to get paid to sleep.

Slop has far outlived any interest, by the viewer. I'd put the show on, every weeknight at 7:30-8:00, to keep it closer to real-time, with the Thursday elimination being 60 minutes. My production people would have to work harder, and wouldn't have time to fabricate lies...but there'd be a lot more viewers, with the nightly show. No.more.retreads. New people are much more interesting.

I love these ideas. I forgot another one. Feeds would be free. That is basic feeds would be free. Basic would subject you to button boy, front of the house and black outs. There would also be paid for feeds you could order if you were so inclined. Those feeds would really entitle you to 24/7 live feed coverage. Production announcements and all. You would have exclusive access to VIP chat rooms and interview with booted HG's.

I don't like a public vote for eviction, but I would like one for nominations. Let the hgs evict.

NO outside influence. Not letters. Not visitors. Not trips out of the house. And most importantly, NO America voting. If I wanted a popularity contest, I'd watch Toddlers and Tiaras. And that show really makes me ILL. lol

I would definitely give them tasks in order to earn luxuries and groceries. I like when they had to work on a budget.

Instead of going to the jury house, I would have the houseguests stay in the house, even after being evicted (that name would have to change). They would not compete, vote, etc. but just be around. Wouldn't that stir up a lot?

I would get rid of Alison Grodner and her unimaginative crew. She has ruined BB, as far as I'm concerned, and it gets worse every year with the rigging and the fish and the scripting. Oh, and did I mention the rigging? and the fish? and the scripting? I like the idea of the basic (free) and the paid for feeds - I would definitely pay for feeds with no fish - in fact, I would pay a lot to be free of button boy I would enforce the rules, too - fines, or a punishment room, I don't care - just enforce the danged rules! But first, AG has to go
