slop is like fortified vitamin filled Oatmeal. there is NO reason a person is sick from that. I think its caffeine withdrawl that makes the HGs ill.

they arent allowed Pepsi or Coke I thought. not sure about coffee

-Slop
-Recycled competitions
-Recycled hamsters - The only way to get new faces that America loves and/or hates, is to actually put new faces on the show
-Recycled 'twists'
-The unitard - PLEASE make it go away. It was only cute the first time, and just barely even then
-The hamster's DR descriptions of how the comps are set up in the yard. Its TV - we can see it for ourselves
-Whoever it is that writes the scripts for the competitions
-The "It's really important that *I* win this competition because..." DR clips
-"showmances"

-Not so much a 'get rid of' as a change, but institute a rule requiring hamsters to take off their microphones before using the bathroom

-Alison Grodner as executive producer

-Robyn Kass as casting director

-slop.

-recruiting actors and models as houseguests. If they don't go through the whole application process like Adam BB13, Dan Gheesling, Dick Donato, etc. all did, I don't want to see them on the show. No short cuts in the application process for friends/employees of Hardy, Janelle and Boogie or casting directors going up to the 'beautiful people' in clubs or bars asking them if they want to be on Big Brother. I want houseguests that know the game, or at least THINK then know how to play the game and are fans of the game. I don't want to see struggling actors or fame wh*res in the house thinking this is a shortcut to a career in reality TV. I want people in the house who have watched the show before they ever THOUGHT of going in the house.

-the DR trying to affect who the HOH nominates. Let the players play the game. Don't try to keep the producers favorites in the game or the players they think 'make good TV'.

-I want to see ALL DR session telecast live on the feeds. Don't try to hide what production is doing to try to influence or screw with the houseguests. Give the feed buyers what they're paying for.

-I never what to see another 'veteran' play the game unless it's an All-Star season. Check that, I'd make an exception for Eric Stein of BB8 since he was 'America's Player' and never got to play for himself.

-An even number of jurors and an 'America Choice' vote for winner that breaks any tie.

-change the rules to allow the HOH to compete in the next HOH contest and increase the power of the Veto winner. Allow the veto winner to pick the replacement nominee if he or she uses the veto. No one in their right mind will ever throw a POV contest again if they had the power to put up the replacement nominee. Also allow everyone to play in the POV contest.

- Front of the house
- We'll Be Right Back

24/7 should mean 24/7 for people who pay for the live feeds! And while we're at it, why not let the viewer select which camera/room they want to view?!

- Get rid of slop.
- Impose a penalty for HG's who keep singing in spite of repeated warnings.
- Give the HG's a real deck of cards.

I want stricter rules on whispering and I want a penalty nom given instead of repeated warnings.

I think that there should be a rule that they are not allowed to let water run while they are talking so we paying for the feeds can hear.

No slop. Give them money to budget and spend on what they want.

Hoh can play each week.

First two out of comps go on the block. No more noms.

POV winner gets to pick the replacement.

Everyone plays POV.

No more long days of sleeping. Everyone gets chores to do.

I agree with a lot of things mentioned. I've said for many seasons the show is WAY to predictable. The HG should NEVER know what will happen from week to week.

Some weeks there is an HOH and Veto, some weeks there is no HOH or Veto at all. Same with players, competitions, who picks Veto, and replacements. More competitions to earn things in the house. Even competitions that choose who will be nominated

I would love to see an endurance where the first two out are the nominees. The last one wins a special prize like a car. Those in the middle all are all have nots. You would see everyone playing on that endurance.

That silly key box for nominations, I can't stand it. Just do the nominations as they do the POV meeting, gather everyone around and the HOH says: You and You up on the block. No explanations or say "that's the way it is". Stop saying the "meeting is adjourned", I have enough of that in my office.

Since this thread deals with things they should get rid and not "add", I'd say another thing they should get rid of is the smoking area outside, no smoking allowed, period!

Get rid of The 25 grand jury prize.
Why should losers be rewarded?
Get rid of have nots make everyone a have not and make them compete for more and more luxury items every week.
Get rid of slop and make them compete for each food item including the HOH.

Don't get the smokers hate,it's no skin off my back if there are smokers in the house.I can't smell the smoke or the ash trays.

I loved the Uk BB's Shopping task..They win then its a luxury shopping list but if they lose its a basic shopping list...but the fun part is watching them get together doing the list..That would make great Television!!

I do think a new producer would liven things up a bit- but the ratings have been great this year.

I would also like to see the return of longer tasks we could follow on the feeds during the week...some BB's in other countries had the prize start at zero, and they had to build the bank up by tasks and decisions. Something like that could be interesting here (Would an HOH risk the wrath of the other HG's by putting them all on slop for a week if it meant an extra $20,000 to the winner?).

I would love to see an end to the threat of a penalty nomination and see TPTB actually do it.

BB to HoH: "You only need to nominate ONE person this week. Houseguest-X has been nominated due to violation of game rules."

Add to that a clause that a penalty nomination trumps the Veto, so they cannot be 'saved'.

This is great! Exactly what I wanted when I started the thread. Three more things I would like to see changed...
1. If you must have a returning houseguest...let them watch the whole show, DR and all.
2. The jury house should get to spend their time in the house watching all the shows, DR and all.
3. Let the houseguests HAVE nothing to start the show. No hottub, No alcohol, no games, just mindnumbing boredom. They should have to earn that stuff.
