I'm one of those that actually likes the Alice in Wonderland theme. I wish they would be even more into it. What themes, or books, would be good for next season? The vortex makes me think that the Wizard of Oz would be good, but maybe more like "Wicked". Dr Seuss? Maurice Sendak?

They could take a page from Rock of Love and make it a house for exotic dancers. 7 males and 7 females and poles everywhere.

Ooooo! How about an 80s themed house? Complete with the bad hair? Or a decades house with each room devoted to a different decade.

TV theme...I Love Lucy room for the 50's, Star Trek for the 60's, Brady Bunch for the 70's, etc... Hermi, some years, it's like they already cast the exotic dancers show.

I would love a haunted house theme. Called me slightly wicked but I think it would be funny for the HG's to find a sleeping "visitor" or stuff missing. That possibility cracks me up thinking of it.

I like all the above suggestions for themes. How about a Laugh In kind of house? If you cry, a sprinkler comes on over your head and drenches you. If you open random doors, cream pies hit you in the face--Ok so maybe that isn't practical but it makes me giggle. When you hear the music, you have to stop and dance no matter where you are or what you are doing or what time it is. Hasn't that been done? Maybe season 1? I would just love BB to mess with the houseguests more and keep them off kilter. Bwaaaahahaaaaaaa

With a Haunted House theme, they could skip the eviction ceremony and just have the evicted guest disappear like in the old movies. A secret door in the wall would open up, and the evictee would be pulled in. The remaining guests would just have to discover who's gone.

If you combined them, you could have a Young Frankenstein House. I would love to hear Dick saying, "PUT...THE CANDLE...BACK!!!"

Marameko, Actually, I think that WE are the social experiment that the show was supposed to be. I think there are a couple of guys munching on sandwiches and reading all our posts and compiling data. One guy says to the other, "See I told you that giving them control of a player wouldn't make them happy". The other guy scratches his head mumbling as he thumbs through his dog-eared copy of "The Care and Feeding of Big Brother Adicts". "I just knew this was the answer. They are never happy with all the things I do for them. Ungrateful brats!"

I have a wild and crazy theme.... Big Brother...NO THEMES. Let's get a new production crews totally with new, fresh vision including a vital new casting company. Let's cast a diverse, interesting group of HG, with communication skills. Let some be schemers, some nice folks, and maybe some that can do both even! How about we do away with boring, redundant phrasing we hear week in week out ie "one of my duties as Head of House is to nominate 2 Houseguest for eviction," and a similar looooong list. No more slop, not more easy life in the house, no more wannabees and spoiled brats. Instead of a food comp let them work to earn either food or supplies or money some weeks to decide what they want. IE should they choose more toilet paper or would they like soda? Them them plan out budgets. Instead of forcing fake drama let some real ones pop up when that many folks naturally disagree in making normal living choices w/out everything being handed to them. And this one is a biggie...no silly twists that never work. No more folks that know each other. If they cast enough diverse strangers they will get their own natural drama. And if they want some theme...do something like it in themeing the house and some contests...that is enough. Of course I haven't seen them really do much with the Alice theme this year have they? But I keep waiting lol.

These producers always bungle their themes. BB6's partners twist was dead within a week. The X-Factor was a fizzle. Eric's role as AP is on the verge of being discovered by Dick. This year's father-daughter drama has turned off a lot of viewers as cruel. Even when these producers had the chance to build a whole new house, it didn't come up with anything creative, exciting, or revelatory. What a wasted opportunity. Like Lurk, I have an idea for a theme. It would be called "Back to Basics."

I think it would be fun one season to do a show consisting of nothing but Psycology students cast. They would still be able to find diversity with age, gender, ethnicity, financial status, etc. and I just think it would be a hoot to watch. It would also be fun to do that with lawyers, police detectives, or other professions where people are trained to recognize people who are lyings and being deceptive. I still like the concept of all of them being total strangers though.
