Hopefully next years BB will go back to basic things and not try to rig things towards certain peoples ways. Make them all compete for POV. Hopefully all inmates will see that only 1 person wins BB and hopefully all inmates can make their own decisions and not have to vote as a group like they think they have too. I am oh so ready for FRESH FACES!!!

I wish the HoH had to make their nominations independent of what others want...even their own alliance. It's not a co-op...they WON the thing on their own...they should be made to choose without input from every other Tom, Dick and/or Harry.

I don't think they are forced to take input from other houseguests, so I don't think they should be forced to disregard any input.

I believe since they won HOH, they have the right to choose whether or not to accept other's opinions on who to nominate. Some do....some don't.

I believe it should be the HOH's choice. After all, they have earned it.

I'm liking the different twists this year... the Coup d'etat for one. I hope they keep those kinds of twists, ones that can shake up the game, but do it differently each time to keep the HG's and US on our toes.

Loving this season!!

No, they aren't forced to take input Kep but as someone mentioned in another thread, team members often become quite irked when their advice is ignored.

I really like the Coup d'Etat, too, but I would like to see them change somethings. I would find it inseresting if the person who won HOH had to immediately do nominations, or something along those lines.

Time for a new production team with new ideas. Time for a new host who has some interest in the show - Howie? No, probably too emotional. Maybe Kaysar.

Yes Kep421 that would be a great way to have a double eviction and if the dual HOH don't agree they go up

I wish more than one person could be nominated even if the public doesn't get to vote. It would mix things up a bit and let everyone play for the veto. Maybe the veto would be used more often as well.

I like the idea of a change of hosts and getting an ex-hg that will be more involved to do the job. I would like to see them cast the show differently too. I think it would be refreshing to see more average joe/jane types like CG. Seems every year the Hg's are younger buffer and more vain. Not to mention they all seem to be more interested in furthering their careers then winning the game.

How about letting some of these radio shock jocks do the casting...now that would make for an interesting show!

First, I hope this isn't a moot point to discuss cause Janie said VERY definatively that this is the last BB and that she heard it from a very reliable source. What a shame it would be when I think it just needs an overall....a BIG overhall.

As I've said numerous times over the years, and each year it is proving more true IMHO, the one thing they should do is fire Shapiro and bring in a totally new production team. This BB is stale and boring. And as proven by who the fans love versus how the show is portrayed on TV, Shapiro and Grodner have NO clue what they audience that tunes in wants. That why so many are tuning OUT imho!

Just the fact the repeat everything over and over week in week out. I mean come on...come up with some truly clever twists. Before this year we had a thread going and came up with dozens of excellent ones and dozens of ok ones. If we can do it why can't they??? And why repeat the same tired phrases week in week out, year in year out. Can't Julie find ANY other wording to "remind the HoH that no one else can hear their conversation" and the same phrases that make up 3/4 of every show. YAWN. I don't care if Julie stays or goes long as the script goes.

But Arnie tried it his way and look how it has failed compared to BB's around the world. I think BB1 definately needed refining, but not everything they did was wrong IMHO. This team just came in and threw the baby out with the bathwater. I will never understand why they think we would be fascinated with nasty wannabee's who all are perfect human specimans but have nothing to talk about. Let's get some real people in all races and colors and some totally new twists in a very tired game!

If it is to return...get back to having weekly contests, in order to keep the hg's busy. Give them all a common goal they have to work towards.

I really liked on the show last night how they all worked together for the food compitetion. They all had a common goal for the good of every one. Not some lame make a fish in a basket food comp....or bobbing in slop. Make them have to bicycle a thousand miles and stuff like that.

Dr. Will would be the perfect host. He'd actually know what's happening in the game and he'd give his opinion, not just pre-scripted lines (like when Julie asked "Whose vote will James nullify? And, if he chooses wrong, will it cause him to be evicted? DUH! Was there a single person watching who didn't know whose vote it would be.)

Have the fans more involved. Nothing that directly changes the outcome of the game, but have fans vote for who gets little prizes, or who has to sleep on a cot or in solitary confinement for a day or who wins titles like "most likely to go to heaven" or "biggest whiner" every few days. And announce them out of the blue. It would create some excitement in the house. And reactions would be fun. They'd be analyzing what the results mean. They could cause paranoia!

Back to the basics. Weekly challenges, Daily challenges, no challenges for food. Make them do shopping lists like other BBs and BB1. No more bottomless cartons of Icecream!

I am surprised to see people saying that they like the Coup. We dont even know anything about it yet, how it works etc! Frankly, it is already a flop since none of the HGs kept their mouths shut. everyone blabbed their answers so everyone knows who won.

Personally, the coup doesnt sound like anything more than a POV where YOU get to choose the Noms.

IF BB wanted to cause a real coup it could happen at ANY time and the winner take over HOH room etc.

First we had Veto(you can save someone else), then we had GOLDEN veto(you can save yourself) now it is the COUP veto(you replace noms with Your choice)

(just ranting as i dont have a clue why CBS would want it to be a big secret. LIKE how janelle won the POV last week and why no winners were announced. Fishy)

I don't like the new POV thing, not letting everyone play, it allows for too much fixing beforehand, as we've seen several times now, which a lot of folks have complained about.
I'm also interested in this being the last BB - what's that all about?

I can't say whether I like or dislike the new Coup...but if it is a true Coup I think I'll love it. In a real coup...the "leader" is booted...and could it be the HOH gets booted...LOLOLOL. I think I'll love that!!! Now that would be a twist that would bunch up their panties!!

I'd like to see it back to basics myself.
Contests for everything needed like in season one and two.
I like Julie and have no issues with her hosting, but I'd really like the recapping to stop!
I do like the idea of more and more twist challenges and I LOVE Thing3's suggestion of more average Jane/Joe types....that soooo would improve the game.

DH and I were discussing options last night.

Perhaps a smaller network would be a better home
for BB, or a cable network where they wouldn't have to edit as much.

And the show deserves a host who loves the game (ala Survivor or Amazing Race) One of the reasons those shows work so well is that the host is plugged in and aware of every nuance.

JC makes sure to distance herself. The show deserves a host with passion.

I think that CBS need the younger contestants so that they have some shot at getting younger viewers which is what keeps TV shows on the air. So the casting can't be different. 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.

I think that CBS has to be the anchore for this show. If you put it on Bravo or something it will die. See Project Green Light. They should change though the way we can look in on the HG's. In addition to the internet feeds they should have a couple of pay per view TV chanels so that we could buy a season pass and watch on TV the live feeds.

I would like it if past houseguests hosted. Maybe a different one each week. Or maybe a different host for each of the comps. Like Will could host the eviction episode, Howie could host the veto comp, or change them up each week. I would also like to see older more mature people on there. I am tired of watching "eye candy". Maybe give out prizes for the person who told the most lies and just general stuff like that. Only have one day of rest. Having a set wake up and bed time. Ok I have said enough.

Jool no clue when any queen said this (a name used by IMHO only nasty jealous people). However JANELLE, a very nice person with a bad rap IMHO said this in a convo hmmmm maybe 2 weeks ago. Forget if she was talking to Kaysar or Howie, but she said she knew this definately and that she was told it from someone on staff. They then turned left and started discussing different staff people. I was suprised we didn't get immediate flames.

They did debate the validity of it for a bit, but Janie was certain. I know we discussed it on here at the time.
