If the public voted it would be horrible. We'd be stuck with 7 really nice sqeaky clean HG's by mid season. The ratings would sink and the show would be canceled. I have faith in CBS never to let that happen. The concept of Big Brother is to mess with the HG's minds. If the HG's allow that, then it's on them.

I think it would be good if the public voted collectively as just ONE vote. We would be playing as an additional person in the house just for voting. I don't mean we would be the only votes just ad additional vote. Say there are 10 people in the house, only 7 of them vote. They cast their vote and we the fans get an to cast one vote too. It would be the majority of an internet vote. See they still vote,but we get a vote too. The public can not be trusted to vote out the HGs. There would be no one in there that would be any fun!!!!

People would be crying foul if the vote didn't go their way.

You know, the houseguests themselves are capable of voting out the interesting people too. I wonder why people give them so much credit for keeping 'interesting' people in the house?

It's all subjective and would depend on your definition of interesting people.

They cry foul as it is. Can you imagine if the upset viewers had any power? It would be a disaster for interesting veiwing. Canceled in about 3 weeks.

TOTALLY disagree with you, Fredi.... ONE vote from America each week (that the HGs would find out about) would shake up the HGs and make for a VERY interesting gsme.....and make America feel included.... That is a GREAT idea STOPTHEMADNESS....

In theory, that's a great idea. but just like any vote that doesn't go their way, the public will be whining and crying calling fix when their favorite is picked, or isn't picked.

Yep. It would be worse than it is now. Thank you CBS and producers for being the ones in charge.

Actually, the public is whining and crying and calling fix, and the public DOES NOT vote! I hate CBS and the producers. Can you tell? HA!

Rosem, ITA with you as far as the producers. It would be a bad idea ifthey did they have the public vote,last year with all the AP voting, It was all geared for Dick to win. I never thought that we were given the correct amount of votes. It was what AG wanted. The same as this year. AG love James, so she decided on a $25000.00 prize to give to him. They had the farce of a vote, which you couldn't even vote except for about 5 minutes. And lo and behold, JAMES IS THE WINNER!!! Please how dumb do they think we are. Can you tell I'm bitter! I just would like see some integrity shown by these producers!!

I actually do not care about the public voting or the HG voting. The voting issue is not what's wrong with the show. What's wrong with it and how it can be fixed is in this great article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24343903/
Yes, I know it's been posted before here, but it's worth reading again!

Why would AG care who won? Just because last season Dick won and this season Natalie was evicted before Shelia does not make the show a conspiracy. It just means politically correct decisions are not what is good or even correct.

The article was interesting but I think a little harsh! I agree with it should be ALL strangers & maybe go back to pb&J punishments, but not for a wk. The food comps are funny & some of the competitions are lame but everyone has to remember this is a show! For entertainment purposes..... People have a problem with the houseguests EVERY season but we still keep watching.....why not? So what if they do/say things we would never do in our owns lives, that's what makes it interesting! I know I wouldn't want to sit & watch myself on the live feeds, living my ordinary life, doing ordinary (mostly) things!!! How boring!! I'm pretty sure if there were regular/average people on, everyone would complain about them either being boring, or to please cover up those average bodies during comps involving bathing suits LOL Sharon was probably the most "normal" houseguest this BB & can you imagine just having to watch her laying in bed all day, every day? Yikes!!!!

I watched the intro of the Australian BB and it is way different and looks like fun! This year they even have a grand mom and a little person! They said they changed it all up and LOL this year they have ONE HUGE BED they all have to sleep in LOL. They have to earn the things for the house! It was fun I seen them as they introduced each one and they walked in the house!

Realize they needed a contrived premise to bring the grandma back into the house. The grandma got kicked out the first night, and the little person had an accident and left the first week. The average age of the house guests is probably 23, with the oldest being 33. Then they brought some new people in, but the average age is still very young.

Yeah! my employee applied for the next BB (i had been encouraging her to do it) keeping my fingers crossed they call her... she'd be great...only thing that might keep her from being selected is she is no actress wanna be she is just an ordinary 20 something person
