Ok we know Arnie and crew have the creativity of a doorknob. How about we have some fun and come up with a, never before discussed possible twist that would make BB a better/more interesting game. Here's hoping the PA's are out poking around early hehe. Let's she what we can offer, since I've long felt we totally get this game on a level far better than those they pay.

Here's my suggestion. Put a new room in the house...call it the privacy chamber. They have to do something to win time in it. They would be told it has no cameras or mikes in it (of course it is FULLY wired!). I would expect some interesting talks in there. Then after some time has passed I think they need to be told that WHOOPS they accidentally found there is a cam there and viewers get to vote for one conversation from the room to be shown on the Plasma. Or maybe have them read an inflaming transcript about someone BUT not say who said it---had the paranoia that would create.

I could hear it now. Julie somes on and says "Houseguests, earlier this month some of your fellow housemates were discussing their experience here and said "Well don't worry Kaysar, no one has any clue we don't hate each other. We're set to the end." Or, "If I have to listen to another of Will's plans I'll scream, but he has no clue we are just pretending to go along with his hairbrained schemes." And since many of the conversations will be from a few weeks earlier, they may not even hold true anymore. But even if folks say it all BS I can see the paranoia now!

And I haven't mentioned my best twist to this yet...the house has no clue who won the room or who was in there. They each have some isolation area to go to, and whoever wins right to go tell the DR who they want in there with them. Then they go but it is set up in a way no one knows who went or who choose who.

I haven't dotted all the i's or crossed T's, but loved this idea for a thread, and the basic idea for BB.

I am SOOO tired of the same old stuff on BB year in year out. So what BRAND NEW never done, never mentioned stuff could we add to this game? Ideas anyone?

Well, the brand new house was last year and the new concept of a private second floor. The HOH room had its own private bathroom.

For this season I would not add stuff, I'd take it away.

The private room and washroom meant that half the house didnt have to interact with the other. The Gold Room was also used as a private refuge.

I'd like to see rights taken away instead of added.

The only think that I would ADD would be week long challenges which FORCE all HGs to interact. I hated watching the ostracizing of various HGs ..sometimes even before they were nominated.

24 hr a day challenges would also give HGs a chance to talk when they wouldnt ordinarily get that chance with their crowd lurking and spying. It also builds a sense of teamwork that a quick "for tv" foodcomp doesnt do.

POV and HOH are adversarial comps. I'd like to see a comp that makes them One big Team.

one word: kittens!

seriously .... hire one, just ONE, of the UK show producers. Anything they could think of would be fine by me. Tasks with hillarious costumes, bizzare yet harmless jokes played on the HGs in the DR, or even .......... kittens.

Common guys...I KNOW the creativity we have here...we have got to be better than Arnie. It will ruin my faith here if we are not lol. I'm talking INTERESTING, brand new never done totally out of left field new and creative game elements.

And Clio what kind of stuff did they do in the UK? I've never followed the show their. BTW glad I can't be in BB this year or I'd be hospitalized...for real...if they did the kitty idea. I'm deathly allergic. Not enough Sudafed on the planet for me to survive it lol.

lemme see Lurk, what were some of the best ones that I've seen on the UK show......... what was that one last year where they HMs in the DR counting as high as they could while wearing weird things on their heads whilst BB played alarms and shot other distractions at them trying to get them to mess up ........ it sounds complicated but it was HILLARIOUS!!!!! ...... and they had one task where one guy in the house thought everyone had to sit in a cubical all day separating nuts from bolts when in reality he was the only one and the rest of them partied all day. And there's the most recent one this year where some of them had to learn to speak Klingon. Just crazy stuff.

And of course the UK show came up with the whole "hide a pair of evicted HMs in a hidden room, let them spy on the rest of the house and then send them back into the house so they can break out into a drunken brawl at 2am and the police will raid the compound...."

And this one time, BB gave them ............ a kitten!

I would LOVE it if Arnie & Co implimented some of the ideas from UK! Or even AUS. I really like AUS's Friday Night Games, it's something for the HMs to look forward to every week. They could have a Rewards Room that's even nicer than the HoH bedroom and the winner can take one fellow HM with them for the weekend while the others are not allowed to step foot in the room. With the HoH room, all of the HGs are allowed to go in and see the room and spend time in there listening to the HoH's music and snacking on their food if they share with them (if they're not on PB&J, that is). I'd love to see the REAL conversations that'd go on in there if there were no interruptions possible.

UK last year also had the HMs do FUN tasks to win stuff like alcohol for the night, they piped in music for them quite a bit so they could dance and have a good time (they're doing the same this year, too), and that's fun to watch to me because it's them having a good time and not worrying about the game so much for a little while.

I'd love it if they went back to weekly tasks and made them really work for their groceries rather than the 1-2 hour food comps.

I'd love it if they set up a fine system like they have in Australia where with each fine, $5K is knocked off the grand prize. They get fines for everything from disobeying BB, to not wearing their microphone, to talking about nominations (which of course wouldn't be possible with our format, but I'd love it if HoH had to make decisions on their OWN and couldn't discuss it with their groups or whatever....it'd prove to be interesting). If they are anything like this year's BBAUS, they'd lose the prize money within the first month, LOL!

Clio, I LOVE that pic of Richard and Pete!

I agree with Sunshyne. Big brother is no longer really "Big Brother" who has control of their lives. They back talk BB, they have nothing to unify them against BB. They should have some form of punishment for disobeying. They need to have some competitions not against each other, but against BB. New alliances could form that way. The current format encourages people to stick with the group they've originally formed. They need to mix it up some.

Anything new would be an improvement.

The public should vote each week (before the 2 people are picked to be put on the block) on who gets a pass that week. If the audience chioce is picked to be on the bock they get to pick their replacement. The public can’t pick the same hg two weeks in a row.

The HH should be divvy out chores for each week. Ranging from something as simple as wiping down an outside table to cleaning the bathroom.

A couple cash prize challenges where random pairings are picked that would play as a team for a cash prize of 20k split.

More of diversity between pb&j and the others food…taunt the pb&j’ers with gourmet type meals.

Maybe each week there is a brain teaser where the first person to solve receives a certain amount of points and when a certain amount of points are won you can use it as a free pass when it comes to the block.

If there are rules broken like the chores that person is not able to compete in any of the challenges for that week and any prize money that may have been won is forfeited.

I would like there to be a rule that Head of Household has to sleep alone. With the Friendship isolating themselves in the HOH room last year it was boring.

I dont really want to see an animal put in the house. A kitten or puppy reacts to stress and arguing.

Remember the animal from the Krista/Mike Boogie season? Didnt people complain that it was stinky and even HIT IT a few times??

Even the first year BB1 saw a crisis with Chickens who were not watched adequately then almost died. ( i personally think it did die and the producers quickly replaced it so the HGs would quit crying and feeling guilty)

********
I'd love to see BB USA do some of the comps and tricks from the other countries.

I caught the comp last year in AUSbb where there was stuff suspended above which could be released at ANY time. The HGs had to stand in shifts ready to catch stuff at a seconds notice.

There were many interesting convos while HGs were doing their duty LOL
*********
I want BB officials to not be so nicey nice about stuff. I'd love to see the Money start out at a million and monetary penalities each time someone messes up with a mic or sings or something. BBaus has dropped from a million to under 500,000 and there are weeks still to go!

America's Choice every week, with two options:

Who do you want to receive XX great prize?
Who do you want on the PB&J diet this week?

I would just like more silly planned daily activities like the foreign BB's have. I think back to last year and the year before and someone would post asking "when is the next challenge (or whatever)?"...and sometimes the answer would be "In 3 days."! That's just ridiculous. 3 full days in a row of nothing but watching people sun bake, eat and sleep gets incredibly dull.

i still think they should start out outside in the back yard and have to earn the priviledge of being in the house. sleep out there with an outhouse and a cold water hose for water/showers.

Definitely make them earn their way more. And I think a week long group challenge or something so that they are forced to do something together.

Everyone here has such good suggestions, I am SO ready to watch it again!!

A viewers vote each week for evictions. We dont get the final say on an eviction but our vote would count as one vote in the tally. It gives us a bit of a say and would increase the paranoia. Just imagine, one side thinks they have to vote locked up and because of our vote it goes another way or forces a tie. It would give the hamsters something else to worry about if nothing else.

I should say that I agree the premise of the HGs starting off as 'roughing it' then winning benefits could change the game to a more competitive format.
Especially if some HGs NEVER win anything!!

This could stop the way some HGs continuously Throw each comp. If they are happy being outside for the WHOLE time, good for em. Bet they'd get grumpy after a while though ha ha

I would like to have a vote in who gets kicked out of the house. Not like they did the first year but the public vote total counting as ONE vote. We could have the power to determine close calls and it would let the house guests know who we are favoring. Like last year when the friendship thought they were so well loved by us all, they would know when the public vote is alwasy against them.

And I would also like to see more PB&J, I love how crankie they get when they have to eat just PB&J. I already have my new jar of PB ready to go, but I like to eat mine with marshmellow cream instead of jelly.
