Still a few months away, but here is the obligatory what do they need to do differently thread. :D

I hope they have normal everyday people on BB8. :D

Please Please Please, go back to basics...weekly challenges, group activities, things to do every day so they're not sitting around complaining about being bored.....make them perform challenges for grocery money.

And.. I really like the UK version of a live crowd at eviction, and some really hard ball quesions, and..oh, I don't know ...how about some REALITY instead of producers shaping 'storylines'.

Lastly, and I know I'm asking too much, but let US vote!!!!! It works for the UK, it works for AI, why can't BB have this audience input as well. That was the original concept and I really want that back.

I hope they allow people to actually have a chance who apply the old fashioned way and not just stock their cast with model and actor wannabes they shop for on Myspace.

Just let me get tickets to the finale this time. Should be fewer "connected" people interested since it won't be allstars.

Voting would be very good.

I don't want to see 4 H/G from Miami Fla, 8 from L.A. and 2 from random states. I would like to see more states represented. No wanna be actors. Just regular people. BB started off that way, but somehow got off track I liked the way they started off BBAS with 2 HOH. That way the target wasn't on one person during the next HOH.

I like all your ideas. Rosem you read my mind. It was so much more fun with daily stuff. I really like the grocery money thing. HG's you have $40 to spend....spend it wisely....and don't use anyone's bullion cubes...See, that was interesting to me. No slop or PBJ...make them earn their food...cool

I WANNA VOTE!

ETA: I didn't see your post Charlottesweb, I did like the idea of a double HOH. Maybe no HOH at all. I like the idea of a split house or a second house.

I also liked the weekly house meeting that they had during BB2. It almost always ended up in a big fight. Remember the Hardy/Kent fight? Awesome

They need to find a way so no one can throw a competition. Make it important enough that everyone will try to win. Although if they found a way to do this then the outgoing HOH would need to compete in POVs also. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Among other things, I just hope that they don't split into armed camps and isolate themselves like they did the last two years (particularly two seasons ago). Perhaps the house is too big now and it's too easy for them to get away from each other?

I don't agree about the public voting. I suspect that the controversial contestants would get voted off very quickly and I like some controversy.

I think there should be more than two nominated for eviction. Let the HGs nominate like they do in BBUK. Each noms 2 people, they put those with the most votes up and the public votes. Maybe get rid of HOH and POV all together. Someone could be "safe" only by winning a contest.

How many times do the voters get it wrong with AI. They think someone is safe and then don't vote. With some kind of audience interaction it can work. Just no one-legged, Tourette Syndrom, cancer survivor HGs, please. If one of them shows up, you may as well walk out the door. LOL

Right...get rid of the Second Floor. Make them have to socialize with each other. Group competitions where they have to sincerely work together as a team.

More incentive to winning competitions. Prize awards or house priviledges for winning HOH and POV. The Amazing Race often gives out prizes at each pitstop, Big Brother can pony up a few prizes too. At the same time, more penalties for not winning competitions or being the first one out. I liked the week when they lost hot water and had to sleep on cots.

No more penalty food that cause gatro-intestinal irregularities.

More America's Choice.

Penalties for rule breaking. Big Brother needs to take back control of the house. The days of the houseguest running the show should be over.

Oh and a trampoline.

Reiki, agreed and good points. In addition I would like to see 12 strangers from all over the United States with diverse backgrounds and who do not have interests that are related to getting into the entertainment business.

I would like BB to start in June instead of the second week of July so the end of season won't be pre-empted by preseason football or be shortened as a result of weak ratings.

Once a HG wins an America’s Choice then they are eliminated from future AC contests.

HGs should not be nominated for eviction two weeks in a row until it gets down to the final six HGs. I think that would help prevent the house from splitting into two alliances and avoiding them against us mentality that we’ve seen the last two summers.

All HGs should be allowed to play in the power of veto competition.

I don't want to see the public voting out HGs because it starts to become a popularity contest. I also don’t want to see HGs voted back into the house. Once out, stay out.

No more sequester and all evicted HGs return to vote for the winner.

I love the idea of HGs earning money for personal items and BB should apply monetary penalties if HGs refuse to play by the rules. When live evictions start, BB should offer money in the amount of 10k+ to entice HGs to voluntarily be evicted from the house. That option would put a huge monkey wrench into the game. It would save the HG who was supposed to be evicted by the votes, it would weed out HGs who can’t handle the pressure of playing the game, and it would shake up alliances.

Just cut the audio when they start to sing - not the video. It's easy to do.

If they break the rules like singing or whispering, etc.....they should receive some sort of slap.

I like that idea a lot. In fact I like a lot of these suggestions. Do you think if we sent them to the BB Production Staff that it would do any good? lol

I wish they'd just pay and let them sing. I loved them singing the first season.

Yes, let them sing and dance. Nothing can ever replace the Trinitron dance.

I hope they have more hidden rooms. And they have to find where they are and how to get into them. Or other cool puzzles. Make them use their brains.

I'm not a big fan of viewer voting either...I hated the problems that occured in Season one...

But it would be cool if the viewers got to vote the nominees...and then the house had to choose...

Wouldn't THAT be a hoot?

Smaller house, no hiding places.

Contest for food items every week...or to earn money to buy their food...have to create their shopping lists and budget (oh, the glory days when they ran out of toilet paper).

I agree - cut the sound only if they sing, not the video.

More than one view happening at a time on the feeds. There are more than 4 places in the house where the HG are hanging out, then give us those places on the feeds.

Puzzles. Activities. Arts & Crafts. I loved it when they had to dress up & act as eachother. No one knows anyone from before. No one is an 'actor' or 'model' (PLEASE!!!!).

Absolutely no whispering allowed and big enforced penalties for breaking the rules. Last season was crap for the whispering and singing cuts.

I am a fan of Will but I was totally frustrated with the whispering by the end of the season. There should be penalties for breaking the rules - they do it on every other Big Brother.

I agree w/ a lot of your suggestions I read above.

However, not sure if I missed this one, but I wish they'd have a better age balance.

It's useless to have only 1 40 yr old in a house of 20-somethings, b/c odds are they'll be targeted immediately. I mean, if they can't give us at least 3 40-somethings is it worth having only 1?
