Don't you mean Rob C for the puppetmaster from Survivor?

Victoria...BB1 they would have a comp to see what their weekly $$ allotment would be...They then had to figure out what to purchase with that $$. Whether it was alcohol, flour, deoderant for a particular HG or toilet paper...and yes they did run out of toilet paper at one point

Oregonguy: I loved your #6 idea. An A/C for giving a HG a fee pass. I know some would say that POV is the free pass. Maybe no POV that week. MRE's are a very good idea. All alcohol, candies, ice cream should all be worked for in some way. Maybe only the HOH gets the extra treats. And find some way that the HG would want to win HOH. Why are they there if they want to throw comps? A better player wins the comps. Manipulating people is just being a chicken.

I'd say the show needs more than a bit of tweaking: 1) no more Allstars, no more exes, twins, long lost brothers and sisters, spouses or anyone else who've previously known each other. 2) invest on a new production team and spend some time and money on new and interesting comp challenges - and test them out! 3) to minimize some of the boredom, have regular Luxury comps. Instead of giving away plasma tvs and trips to Aruba away as rewards for the more selfish players during veto comps, spread the prizes around. 4) No. More. Julie. Chen. Please! 5) No more idiotic slop/pb&j diets. Sluggish, whiney houseguests do not make for entertaining TV. 6) Increase the prize money for first, second and third place. In today's reality TV world, what BB awards has become a joke. 7) When HGs break rules, penalize them. Be it with money, or 24 hours in solitary, let them know that breaking the rules has some repercussions. 8) Have people soley responsible for ensuring comps are run properly, and rules are clearly communicated. This certainly seems like a no-brainer. So why is it not already happening?? 9) Did I mention no more Julie Chen??

A true penalty for singing and whispering. (Whispering got way out of hand....) The bedrooms divided is good to leave as is. Have a cat from shelter (to be offered for adoption). I like the idea of prizes for winners of HOH comp's. They don't have to be huge... A 2-hour finale. Live feed in sequester. Replace Julie w/Will. Have more America's Choices. That's all for now.

Change the "golden" POV back to a normal POV. The POV winner cannot take himself off, but he can't be nominated if he takes one of the nominees off. The golden POV takes too much power away from the HOH.

I agree with the 2 hour finale. Get rid of the week with the F2, boring!! I think it would have been very interesting if the jury got to watch Mike and Erika for like an hour after the round table was finished. I'd also like to see the entire house vote for the winner. Let the jury see everything. You reap what you sow. heheheh

How about coming up with rules that will discourage players from throwing comps? Perhaps by always adding some prize so that winners would profit materially. Or, in the alternative, some punishment for the player who comes in last-- (no alcohol/week on slop/no hot showers-- something) I'm sure others here could come up with better ideas, but there has to be some way that they could discourage throwing competitions. I would also like to see sequester more carefully monitored with 24 hour cameras there too. It seems as if BB production would be open to trying out some new ideas. Their "guest producers" (CT Inc.) helped boost the ratings this summer.

ITA with 2addicted (in fact I have been thinking about this all morning while out on the golf course). Not winning comps "until you have to" is indeed a strategy but one that is much to prevelant now and is a good way to cover ones ass((and downplay someone elses achievements) . Maybe immunity from the next nomination. Maybe last person or first person out (but not in an elimination type comp) is an automatic nominee. And new rule that this could happen at any time, not necesssarily all the time. But Jase did say the "best player, competitor" never wins Big Brother. Drew may be the exception, he tried for everything. But typically, a good competitor gets the target on their back.

I think it'd be nice to see survivor type voting where there are no nominations but rather everyone votes for who they want gone with exception of 1 or 2 who have Immunity. OR Have competitions and the bottom 2 competitors are your nominees. Make's it a little harder to float!

Longer competitions like on BB1 with the dominos and the continuious dancing. Give them a bedtime so those of us on the East Coast can stop sleeping on a vampire schedule, lol. And wake them up earlier in the morning. Just give them more to do. Maybe tie it in with a charity. 10 cents for every lap walked around the backyard or every mile walked on the tread mill. Special prize for whoever earns the most for thier charity. This comp can continue into the sequester house. On the show, stop showing me the same scene three times at the top of every show. At the end cut the music when you go live to the house. I understand you have to run the credits, but to have the music so loud you can't hear what they are saying in the house, negates the 'evesdrop on the houseguests.'

Get a camera over to the jury members. We really want to watch the jury, not E & B.

1. More co-HOH weeks. That was a fun twist for week one and could work for a few more weeks. 2. Have the HOH nominate three people. On eviction night, those three compete for POV. Whoever wins is safe, people vote for the remaining two immediately. 3. I agree with a previous poster- don't have Will (b/c he's the new host, of course) announce the number of votes, just say who is evicted. 4. Starting with the first member of the jury, have the contestants be evicted from the game, but not the house. They can't vote, participate in competitions, etc. But they are in the house. That could really stir things up! 6. Don't let people named Boogie into the house. Don't let anyone who says "off the hook" into the house. Don't let people who want to have a baby with a man named Boogie into the house. Just a few suggestions.

Sassy, I like that idea... bottom two are the nominees for eviction and get voted out by their peers.

I think there should be some sort of extra credit that the hgs can individually gain or lose during the show. They should gain credits if: + they win a competition (100 credits) + come second in a competition (25 credits) + if the whole house do more than (2 times the number of hgs in the house at the time) miles on the treadmill per day (everyone gets 10 credits) + vacuuming (can only be claimed by one person per day) (5 credits) + rest of housework (can only be claimed once per day) (5 credits) + nobody loses any credits in a day (unlikely) (everyone gain 10 credits) + ... I'm sure there are other things! They should lose credits if: + they sing a song/whisper/small violation (lose 5 credits per occasion) + they eat when on slop (lose 50 credits) + if the whole house aren't up within 30 minutes of the wake-up call (all lose 10 credits) + talking about the DR (lose 20 credits) Being able to gain/lose credits for everyone else would add to the tension or alternatively to team-spirit. As the show goes on people will be closer to having enough credits for prizes and will be annoyed when others lose them credits. They can use their credits to get prizes, e.g. they can get a two-day slop free pass for 200 credits of save up until they have 400 and get a bigger prize like a spa-day or something else. If they get below -100 credits they take a big penalty (slop for a day, or something like that). I agree there should be some sort of punishment for rule violations, and also some added incentive to win games, and a credit system might help with that. (OK, it's a bit lame, but I like it!!)

When we pay for FOUR feeds, give us four feeds (four different feeds!) I was so sick of seeing just two different feeds this year - until this week, then they gave us four. ARGH! Seems like we all should get 50% of our money back! I wish there was some way for them not to throw competitions too - maybe a mystery monetary prize for the winner? One week could be $250, one week maybe $25, one week $750, you just never know how much it could be till the comp is over...? (or some other prize options - one week could be a phone call, another week could be a letter from home, or a video clip... things that make them *want* to win) I'm definitely 'over' the casting - no more people who work for CBS, no more people who work for Mark Burnett, or who work for the Travel Channel, the Food Network, or even Dr 90210. I want average normal 'everyday' people back, not people who already have a SAG card. Definitely no more whispering, singing, sleeping in till noon, etc... use your power, BB! Toss in some fines, penalties, etc...!!

Like the week in one day show, they need to do the F4 that way. In one 2hr show someone is voted out and the three part HOH is done. Never mind endurance (especially if they're going to throw it) - have three types of comps, knock one HG out and then have jury vote. Saves both the final two and us from being massively bored.

Assign everyone a job to do. 1 person for laundry , 1 person to cook, 1 to do dishes... this will get the blood boiling as they are cleaning up after one another. Chores have to be done by a certain time of day. I also like the no nomination way. Just each person has to go to the diary room to cast the vote. He/She with the most votes... ta ta for now. Yes, I too remember the all night dance. everyone had to take turns dancing with one another and had to be touching. Remember Eddie and Britt? We all know they get paid by the week, each time one causes flames.... deduct from the paycheck. make these people work for their money.

Put all the applications in a barrel. Spin the barrel. The first 12 or 14 picked are the cast.
