In the UK BB, HG's are not allowed to talk about nominations. If they do, they are put up for nom too. That would be interesting.

Instead of POV competitions, have an Immunity competition like Survivor BEFORE the nominations. Whoever wins immunity cannot be put on the block that week and whoever is nominated will stay nominated - no power of veto to take anyone off or backdoor someone.

wasn't it on the mole where they could achieve a max $ amount per task but usually earned a % of it based on the completion of the task?

Move the house to a different location other than california. Make them deal with different elements, high altitude, deep south heat and humidity (and real bugs, not ants), seattle with some rain, the desert....etc.

I was just thinking that!! That would totally change the game.

I would like to see a show where there are no actor or model wantabees, and no one even remotely connected to any "industry" insider. The contestants would be chosen completely from their applications and tapes.

I would like to see a show where the houseguests show a little intelligence and reasoning ability. Not asking for Mensa members, just the ability to carry on an interesting conversation and do some game play.

I would like to see a show without twists. The twist would be that there were none and all the HGs would be looking for one.

I would like to see a show where things were allowed to progress naturally and there was no DR interference from the producers or the DR. let the game play out and see if it would produce enough drama and interest without the prodding that makes viewers question the integrity of the game.

I would like to see a show where the producers tell the HGs that they were going to send banners over the house with secret messages and anyone who solved them could win prizes. Then if and when a real banner flies over, the HGs would go crazy trying to figure out the secret message and it would take the "bite" out of any real banner message.

I would like to see a show whee any letters or basket items supplied by the family to be supplied before the season began so they could not cheat and sneak in messages, and stored until needed.

I would a show where the entire schedule of events are changed so the HGs could not figure out what was coming next. And I would like a completely new set of competitions that they could not practice for. For example have a double eviction early in the game instead of late.

I would like to see a house where the rules are spelled out for the houseguests and the viewers. Some of the rules need to be tightened up. the behavior has gotten worse and worse every year. something needs to be done to prevent the kind of behavior that Dick exhibited this year.

I would also like to see a show where independent judges enforced the rules. Have a panel of judges like you would have umpires or referees. They would have the ability to view the tapes and make the decision. The show would set tight rules and then remove themselves from the enforcing.

I would like to see a show where the houseguests are given demerits for unacceptable behavior. A certain number of demerits to be enforced by the judges would earn them punishments such as:
A week on whatever the "bad" food is going to be.
loss of 1 week of voting rights
loss of 1 week of ability to compete in comps.
a penalty nomination
a penalty vote
eviction from the house.
(by unacceptable behavior, I do not mean lying, conniving, or betraying. I mean actually breaking the rules set down by the house.)

I think the producers might have a better show than they realize if they let it play out unimpeded. I would like them to try, before they ruin the show completely.

Nothing wrong with Cali, Scooter. I'm just tired of there always being models, wannabe models, wannabe actors, wannabe stars who are already in Ca trying to make it into the industry somehow. I figure if Ca is eliminated and they pick from places like Idaho, Nebraska, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia, etc. we might end up with more of an eclectic bunch.

ETA: what's wrong with a house of non-beautiful people. Some of my favorite bb and survivor contestants don't fit into what BB thinks we want to watch. People don't have to be gorgeous or handsome to get me to watch BB. They have to be conniving, interesting and smart. Worth buying the feeds next year for that. Anyone notice how nobody seems to have a sense of humor anymore in these games. Give me plain dick or jane who are funny rather than beautiful and boring.

There is no casting call for BB on CBS's page, so maybe this was AG's last hurrah. Show officially killed.

Last hurrah???? This is just another year of the same old, same old.....too predictable in terms of competitions....boring!! AG's been on this way too long. I don't know the particulars regarding AS's departure but I'll bet he's glad he's not involved this year!!

The last I heard their ratings, while not fantastic by any means, are better than last season.

My ideal game would be put people in all walks of life not just model thin girls, or guys like Mike(he is a model wanna be, has done some.) I am not saying I don't like the ones in the house we all have our favorites but shake it up spme people!!

Have 2 different povs and you don't know which one you are playing for yourself being saved or the one where you can save someone. To much backdooring this year!

Have it so the have a 3 part HOH thrown in every now and then enough time in between shows, even the houseguest say to much down time. Don't let the one person that wins the first HOH know they have to win a sec. one to actually get the HOH key.

Okay, I have it figured out: I have 14 grandchildren somewhere around the ages of some of the HG.

1. put them all in there. There is a personality to fit every single one of the present HG.
2.I guarantee you a good show
3. Their parents (my kids) will know where they are.
4. We could all have a peaceful family vacation at the beach while they are gone. (babysitters for the 11 great grandchildren)
5. I split the money with whoever wins
6. CBS pays me what they spend on "recruiting" and "interviewing" and I will guarantee they would want my cell phone number for consultations daily. (fees for that too)

Everybody wins!!

ADDENDUM:

7. Our vacation will be in the jury house
8. Grandma and Grandpa are flown home at CBS expense when the first juror arrives.
9. I get to "guest host" as DR counselor when I want to. I know where their warts are and there would not be any BS answers.

to be continued

10. no bikinis or pants showing their rearends
11. no showmances (OMG they are first cousins!)
12. Grandma will sew up any piercings spotted on entry to the house.
13. Tattoos get the brillo pad
14. Any alcohol delivered to the house would be sent immediately to the jury house(see 7 above)
15. Strategizing and alliances would be amazing. They already know how to do that.
16.Throw out the slop. Losers in food competitions would have to eat Grandma's Tuna Casserole for a week.

More later

17. Doors lock at 11 PM Lights out at 12 with the big switch in the control room.
18. Hot water heater turns on at 6 am and off at 9 am. Late sleepers take cold showers.

After watching this season and reading this board, I realize I am in the minority for being totally disgusted with BB8. Having said that, I think Allison should stay with what obviously works.

For BB9 she should fill the house with at least 7 ED personalities (spitting, cursing, and vile threatening behaviour required). Throw in 5 self-centered whiners. The last two houseguest are the showmance couple.

Think that covers everything. Should be another successful season.

LOL Bombay!

I think next year they should have someone from each of the Reality TV websites. I'm sure BB/AG would just love to mess with the people who blog about them all season long.
And of course, the winner would be someone from TVCH.

There would be one thing that they could do that would at least make the final week more interesting on the feeds:

-Instead of a final 2, it's a final 3 (most other BB's worldwide have at least 3 people in on the final night).

-Every person evicted goes to sequester, not just the last 7 (so in this case there would be 11 members)

-The ending would be changed like this:

-The endurance comp would be the final 4 HOH (final 5 HOH could compete). Winner of that is automatically in the final 3, but makes no noms (since POV is basically the deciding factor).

-The other 3 players compete in a 2-part POV comp. First part is similar to the 2nd part of F3 HOH now, but what they play for is an advantage in the 2nd part.

-2nd part is similar to final part of F3 HOH now, but with 12 questions. The advantage gained in the first part of the comp would be:

1st question: only the person who won first part would get to answer

2nd question: only 1st and second place players in first comp answer

3rd-12th questions: all 3 players answer

(thus 1st place gets an advantage, but it's not automatic. 2nd place gets a little advantage over 3rd. I think it's better than a 2-1-0 automatic start, since it's tough to catch up in comps like these. All questions would have 3 answers as well, not 2.)

winner of comp gets to evict one of the other two players.

There's also an audience vote-it's not only the 12th jury vote, it's the deciding factor if there is a tie (2-way or 3-way).
