I don't know about everyone else, but I am tired of hearing the "voice" say "stop singing". I think they should set a penalty, as in "Stop singing, Two less beer in the house" each time someone sings. I am sure the singing would stop and the house would freak out and want to find out who is doing the singing and costing them some much needed beer!

That is the way it works when HGs break the rules in all other BB's throughout the world. Money is deducted from the grand prize.

Any way we can get them to do it? It would add another point of battle in the game.

The housemates in the BBUK sing all they want. Not sure if it is a difference in copyright laws or what. But they are penalized for other things. Discussions of nominations are no-no. Housemates have been punished by having one or more of their nominations taken away, having to wear a ball a chain around the house, having their clothes and or makeup taken away. Not only that but Big Brother repeats the rule breaking discussion to the entire house. Another time housemates had to wear dunce caps during the live show. Another thing I wish they would incorporate into our BB is the weekly tasks. Recently BBUK celebrated its birthday. Half of the housemates were party goers, the other half had to be the entertainment - magician and assistant, one man band, clowns, party artist, etc. You'd think the party goers were golden, but they had to endure over 9 hours of Big Brother playing cheesy birthday party songs and dancing. Another task had one of the housemates wearing a hotdog costume for days. Having Jen wear the unitard and Amber/Kail handcuffed for 24 hours is a step in the right direction, but I'd like to see more of this type of thing.

I would just settle, Reiki, for BBUSA banning the discussion of nominations. That's the single-most glaring example of how much more interestng the UK house is over the US house. The constant jawboning about nominations is simply exhausting to listen to, over and over again. The UK folks being forced to talk about themselves and each other will always be more fun to follow than the web of paranoia the US dullards are trapped into enduring. Maybe when Chanelle and Ziggy are evicted they'll emulate the Beckhams with a move to L.A. and then apply for BB9 next year!

I find it interesting that one of reasons there is reluctance to return to the BB1 format of houseguests nominating, public evicting is the fear of ending up with only the nice, dull, boring people to watch. I don't see that happening in the UK BB at all and I don't think someone with Charlie's personality would last very long in the US BB house. Or maybe the UK just casts better?

A great punishment for the singing -- Have Jessica record the "Please stop singing" in her normal voice and play that at high volume everytime they sang. Problem solved! who wants to hear that!

Problem solved! Have Jessica record in her normal voice "Houseguests, STOP singing!". Then replay this message every time they sing in a higher volume. Guaranteed stopping of songs. who wants to hear that voice!

The UK definitely casts better, Reiki, and the public voting process has to be a huge influence in their final decision-making. Can you imagine Lesley or Carole making it into the U.S. house, given their ages and body types? As for Charley, I don't think another human being like her exists on planet Earth!
