Someone mentioned that a hampster needed BB for dummies. That was so funny, I thought we could come up with a lot.

Don't form big alliances too soon.
Don't put up pawns unless you're willing to see them go.

Tell all your dirty secrets, because it makes for good TV.

Just like in real life, first impressions can be long lasting and hard to overcome. Be cautious especially week one.

Use proper hygiene!

Be helpful around the house.

Don't allow the DR (or AmERICa) to force you to make decisions that are not in your best interest!

Leave God out of the GAME.

Watch the mean gossip, we hear everything.

Never make fun of America.

DO NOT label your group the "Good People" (that is s sure sign your not.)

Don't say things like, "[someone else is] showing their true colors," "I'm open and honest," "I'm genuine," or "you trust me."

Only manipulative hacks and liars use language like that.

Do not switch your target after noms because you are bored or easily swayed or whatever. Remember why you wanted that person to go in the first place. (Unless they win POV or course.)

Always have a back up target equal to your initial target in case they get veto

Don't take your mic into the toilet with you

Be careful how you eat (chewing with mouth open, excessive lips smacking/crunching noises, slurping drinks). This one is my personal pet peeve!

NEVER make alliances the first week, but never fail to make one by the 3rd or 4th week. And remember BB is NOT a team sport--you playing with the ENTIRE house. Deal with folks you don't love, get to know people. It will be far more interesting for us, and likely far more helpful to you.

Always remember that, "God's Plan Works, Yours Doesn't", even if you spend 2 hours chanting how much you love god. So if you are a HG and dedicate your time to praying to God, consider there are other options to spend your time on, such as Beer Pong perhaps. :-)

1. Don't pray to God to help you win the Veto. God doesn't watch Big Brother.
2. Don't call someone "fake" or a "poser." You are on a reality TV show, everyone is faking or posing.
3. Don't say "I hate all these people." "These people" are going to sit on the jury to decide whether or not you will win $500,000.00 or $50,000.00.
4. Do not compare yourself to Janelle or Dr. Will.

Leave your religious beliefs at home. As hard as that may be, this is a reality show not Trinity Broadcasting or even Fox News. Kasar was able to be the exception because he did not preach his beliefs. The first HoH should look around and try to determine who is most popular, good looking and controlling. All these things are the fabric of who stays off the block. The HoH's should continue this until all potential 'stars " are gone. I say this every year but every year the Rodey's, Nicole's and Maggie's are left in to rule the game. This year, nobody sees that Jessica needs to go or she will take it all. Big DuH HG's. While Rodey and Nicole did not win, they basically ruined everyone else's chances along with Dani. No controlling people!

ALWAYS remember that the cameras run 24/7.
Do not look at the camera, smile and pose (we WILL make fun of you)
When packing a bathing, make sure it fits properly, we really don't want to see your bits and bobbles hanging out.

As a rule, if somebody you know from outside the house is also a houseguest, get that person evicted ASAP, otherwise that person will spoil your game.

Build up your aggressions in real life, so you can come in ready to spew your venom because it makes good TV.

If you are a good guy, stay home. This games is not for you. YOu are boring TV.

Here's my list! A lot of these are to make things easier as a moderator.

1. Please refrain from excessive swearing and name calling. Didn't your mama ever tell you that if you can't say something nice you should just keep quiet?

2. Please do not discuss religion.

3. Please stop saying racist things.

4. Do not display or discuss your private parts. At all. Ever.

5. There's really no need to discuss your bowel movements. What do you want...a cookie?

6. Please stop singing, whispering, and leaving your mic on when you pee.

7. Please stop sleeping until mid-afternoon.

Thank you!
:-)

If you're a male Hamster and are packing 8" or more...go ahead and streak. But only once.
Hehe.
I think the rest of the above are good ones though!

Here's one:
Speak directly into your microphone to let America know what you're up to, AND what just happened after an event that usually gets blacked out such as Veto Comps, Food Comps, Veto Meeting, or any surprise events (clothes shopping, celebrity visitor, etc...)

Leave your "baggage" at the front door.

Don't believe everything you hear or see.

Listen more, talk less.

Smile once in a while.

Do NOT volunteer to be a pawn. Pawns always go home.

Do NOT say you deserve to win because <insert favorite reason here>. Anyone who makes it in that house for three months deserves to win.

DO clean up after yourself. No one wants to clean up after you.

DO learn how to cook before you enter the house. It's nice when HGs can swap cooking duties, and each person has a different "speciality."

DO study recipes so that you can incorporate slop with condiments into different menu items.

Do NOT create shirts with cute slogans on them. You may think they are cute, but most of the watching public won't.

DO remember that the cameras are watching you every single minute of every single day. That means every time you burp, fart, say something racist, smile, or dance... we will see it and comment on it.

DO study the BB Handbook, cover to cover, before you enter the BB house. And remember, anything goes!

Then I fear BB will no longer be BB...

that's exactly all those 'imperfections' under the Don't... which make a great BB.

What you do in the BB house WILL reflect your real life when you get up and as my Mom use to say "don't live it up if you can't live it down".

1. Don't Whisper!!!!

2. Don't talk about your DRs, or producers, unless you can find a way to do it without getting caught by BB.

3. Don't sing! Leave that to American Idol, they're more talented AND they pay copyright fees.
