I would love for the HOH to be put in Solitary until the power of Veto. Keeps the HOH and the House in the dark!

I would love to see HOH have to immediately nominate 2 people and not have the chance of everyone running into the HOH room telling them who to put up... Also I am not a nasty jealous person when it comes to Janelle. I just don't like her and her actions and thats my honest opinion which I am entitled too..

Finally, someone that agrees with me. I agree, Joolee, that HOH should immediately nominate. I am so tired of the "flip-flopping".

I'd love to see the host bust some people on the live show like "James,why did you vote against your alliance?". Or "Will, why do you talk bad about Janelle behind her back?". Just something to clue everyone in on what's going on behind closed doors. I third on the HOH having to immediately nominate 2 HG's.

I wish that nobody NOBODY be allowed in the HOH room unless the HOH is there at the same time. Or even better yet, lock the HOH up in the HOH room immediatley until they do nominations. Do not let the new HOH be alone with anybody while they are getting the HOH room ready. And instead of the POV ceremony being seperate from the competiton, make the winner decide then and there to use or not to use the veto, and if used the HOH decided right then and there who to put up.

Sadly I doubt there is a huge 40+ aged group of people waiting a for a reality show, and wanting to watch 24/7 an Internet feed that they have to pay money for. Have you checked the number or age of a good portion of the Feed watchers on this Board? 40 not a problem .......There are a number of us who would and are interested in a challenge like this. Unfortunately it is not what the viewing public want to watch. The viewers are drawn to things that are different from their own life. They want to view worlds where everyone is beautiful or funny or nice. They also like to watch when people fall apart and become miserable. If the people entering the house were miserable already and not so lovely then ratings would drop as fantasies and curiosity dropped. I for one would love to watch and or participate in such an adventure and I am 45. As for the Show host....an new one would be nice but pleeeeeease not Kayser. His flat affect and his own unenthusiastic personality would be worse then Julie. Howie, maybe but maybe even someone all together new. Someone with a dynamic personality and not afraid to talk to the HG's. Someone more actively involved in the show and not just reading cards that someone printed up for her/him.

PPV TV live feeds are expensive and I don't see them being able to make that work without a huge loss. During season 1 the internet feeds were free and people I worked with watched the feeds and the show. But after they went to pay feeds, most lost all interest. So I think it might be a good idea to bring back the free feeds. This also brings me to another point about the age of the BB audience. All of the people I have ever known to watch BB have been 30+ yrs old. My parents are in their 60's and have been more faithful viewers then I have been. They are getting annoyed with the young cast too. My guess is that CBS is playing it safe when selecting their casts. Their easy to look at and they are so shallow that nobody really cares who gets voted out or what they say about each other behind their backs. I think that CBS is afraid to fill the house with people that represent actual viewers from all walks of life. Things could get too personal and emotional for both cast and viewers and it could cause problems. My last comment is about this being the last season. If true, it's not because they are losing money but because they could make more money showing something else. The same would go for smaller cable channels. Why produce this big show when you can make the same money showing reruns? What I could see is it becoming fully an internet based show. The cost is much cheaper, much of the fan base is already there and it will free them from much of the “red tape” of being on TV.

i think what she may have meant was the last time any of them will be on BB. No more allstar seasons. As for the Queen Bee, it is a compliment. It means she is running the show with her drones as backup. Funny how people see negativity instead of the positive.

I think the public should have more of a say, like in BB1. That was one of the things I liked about the first season. The public had some control over who stayed and who went.

If the ratings hold, and they aren't that terrible, I would think they would continue to do this show. The only reality shows that haven't continued had absolutely dismal ratings and so few people watched them, or their premise was so ridiculous (i.e., Who Wants to Marry A Millionaire - those were ridiculous), so I think they will continue. They have continued in the UK and their ratings have gone down since the beginning. BB is one of the top 4 - Survivor, Amazing Race, American Idol and BB. That being said, I would really like to see a few things different: (1) Actually real people, not people looking to further their show business careers, as HGs. (2) Kep - I love the idea of the HOH having to make immediate nominations after the HOH comp. It would really make all of the HGs be on their toes so that if they won, they would have to have their strategy already in place. It would make for much more drama, and they probably wouldn't as much time for others to manipulate them because noone would no who was going to win until the actual comp. You could never get an entire house to throw the comp to one person. I just don't see that happening. (3) Alot more competitions and much tougher penalties. I remember the UK BB when they put up basically a jail cell for some of the HGs. That was wild. The food denial situation is getting old. The could actually do away with that and think up some completely new comps. And more endurance comps. Those are always interesting - maybe not to watch the entire things if they last for hours, but it is interesting to see how people work through that and decide what to do. (4) Go back to the BB1 premise where the public had much more input. (5) Once HGs went to sequester, let them see every single one of the diary entries, or let them watch all of the live feeds if they wanted to. It would make for some really high drama and very interesting for the final vote. That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure I'll think of other things. I can't help but think that if us viewers, in mass, kept up a constant barrage of correspondence to the producers and the network, we might be able to influence some changes in the show, maybe not to a huge extent, but at least a little. It wouldn't hurt to try.

Wouldn't it be cool for CBS to allow the fans to create and orchestrate an entire season of BB? Something where CBS would carry it out but all of the houseguests, competitions, voting, etc. was created by the fans and what they would like to see happen for the season. I think they could get some really great and fresh ideas if they opened it up to public input.

It would make for some really high drama and very interesting for the final vote. Wasn't the reason they put them into sequester after Dani's first go around is because of her nasty Diary room confessioin's. She would have won the show had the others not seen the DR tapes. So if you go in knowing those who are going to vote for you are seing the DR tapes then you wont be "true"/

BB could lie and let them think no one will see their DR tapes. Afterall, the houseguests lie all the time.

I think the fans could nominate house guests for eviction... The top 3 voted getters are presented to the HOH and they have to pick 2 out of the 3. House votes on who is evicted.

I too would like to see BB like it was in season 1. More challenges and "free 24/7" feeds that continued live even after a HG was evicted. Course free feeds is a thing of the past. I think it's time to get a new producer. I also think it would be interesting if they had a BB with no one under 39. I think it would keep a lot of the teenie boopers out of the chat rooms. Some are way too young to be in chat rooms.

My back to basic ideals relate to a basic way of living in the house. No hanging out in the storage room like Will and Mike do talking about the game with each other. No whispering like they didn't allow in BB1. No work out room, because the HG just gravitate to the place--and to the deck of cards. No cards. Make the games they do part of the challenges. have short, medium and long time challenges Also, make they have challenges for their grocery money. Make them plan shopping lists to accommodate everyone's desires. Make it so if someone says they will walk if they don't get 6 more beers, take that much away from them next time. Or give that much to everyone else but the whiner Something I really liked that a show called "Forever Eden" did--they fined people for breaking the rules. It came out of their winnings at the end. Every time they sing, it's $50.00. Hold them to it--no bluffing. Don't give these people ways to sit alone for hours on end talking strategy. Make them vote immediately after the veto ceremony. Right then and there. Put them all in different rooms, and tell them they must vote. Do a vote or two during the season live and in font of each other. Make everything good thing come with a price. HOH can't have anyone stay in their room for over 10 minutes a day--and the bathroom is for the HOH only. Make it so they are off by themselves, because that has a down side to it. No fancy food--nothing for specific wants either. Let them live off of regular food and not protein bars and protein shakes.

Those are all things that Shapiro and Grodner could do, but don't have the imagination or the will to do. Can 'em and get some producers next year who don't mind stirring the pot. I want a Big Brother who acts like he's Big Brother!

Thanks Hoh--not sure my ideas would go over with a large group. My thoughts are geared more towards a better game and less away from the Wills and Mikes of the world trying to make good TV and get face time. It would be hard to make a tough game be entertaining to people too. The true game of what happens to people in isolation is at times boring. It's a tough line to walk and get great results for both situations.

One of the things that I think mark Burnett does that is successful in Survivor is that he does things to keep them "off their toes" as he would say. He doesn't allow them to figure out the game. I think that is important for BB as well.

The best "basic" show is to have 12 complete strangers--no DNA--no X's--

YES! All strangers and group week-long challenges. Like when BB1 HGs had to ride the bike so many miles. I'll never forget watching Eddie on that bike, pedaling away. And I loved that WE had some involvement in who stays or goes. BB has become too boring and predictable but since nobody at CBS will ever see this thread I don't expect change.

I think it would be interesting to see a season of houseguests that were all devoted BB fans, like most of us here. Aside from any new twists, we know the game inside and out, what is smart to do and what is not, and things that the houseguests over the years just don't seem to be learning (using someone as a pawn ISN'T smart--they'll probably go!!!) It would be a battle of the Big Brother experts, so to speak. It would sort of be like all-stars I guess, but not with the expectations of certain personalities to live up to.
