I think it was mainly a production issue- it's easier to create and set up elaborate comps when you know that you'll have 6 (or 7) people playing. They only have os much space in the backyard...

HA, Jimmer, it figures that their solution to the veto comp being boring was to make it unfair.

I guess it would have been too difficult for them to come up with another way to do the veto comp. We don't want these poor producers to have to exert themselves by putting any effort into it.

Everything's fine just the way it is! Well, except for the ratings.

Yeah, Wilson, another example of how 'production' trumps 'game'.

Production trumps game in the scheduling IMO. They give the editors and story producers several days to put together the luxury comp/noms, then the veto comp/ceremony, but the result is that all the action in the house is squished into the weekend, and boredom ensues following.

It would be better if the HOH had 2-3 days to decide noms, with heavy campaigning by all parties. Veto should be only a day before vote out - win the veto and make your decision on the spot (so it's individual, not a group thing) and immediate renom, throwing everything up in the air for voting the next day.

That way, everybody's got to play all week, instead of most of them sitting back and doing nothing Mon-Thurs because they are not nominated.

JMHO of course!

Yes, Jeff, she was. But it was in her original season when she came up with her 6 finger plan, which is why after that, that BB started making them pick from a bag for players, instead of choosing them on their own.

Lillian, I am voting for you for new producer.

I love that schedule. It would be better for live feed viewers too!

Which is why they don't do it. They are committed to overproducing the show, and ruining it in the process.

Lillian, I agree with part of what you say.. I would prefer an instant nomination so nobody can say say Who Do I Put Up.. I do like the veto the day before eviction so you dont have 3 days of constant game talk. They waiver so many times because nobody will think for themselves. They could do the veto comp and the veto ceremony on Wednesdays

Ohhh, instant nominations!! I'd love to see that. It's great on those double eviction weeks when they do that. The days between veto and vote are too long and boring....makes the HGs lazy and dull

How about HoH picking a nom and America picking a nom. If the viewers are not allowed to evict then their pick for nomination just screws with the game but the house is still in charge of the eviction.

America should not get to pick a nominee until week 4 because the players would just vote the viewer pick out until jury anyway.

The lull between the veto and the vote is purely for production to have time to edit, grab DR bites (several have said they redo their bites days later), and influence story lines. They are producing a show for tv, not the live feeds. Sucks being us.
