New Rules???? What are your ideas?
Jeneane | Thursday, July 04, 2002 - 10:41 am     I was pondering what the new nomination rules might be and came up with what I think is a great idea. On the first BB as you all know they let the audiance phone in a vote, for a fee of course. Well to enable audiance participation and to let them still cash in even more on the show my solution is that there be two nominees for HOH and the public can phone in the vote for them. Then the HOH still nominates the two possible evictees and the vote is up to the house. This way everyone gets to have a say in the outcome yet not so much that it disrupts the play of the game. This would also mean the HGs would need to be more aware of how they come over to the public on the cameras 24/7. More fun for the viewer as well. |
Demeter | Thursday, July 04, 2002 - 11:17 am     Your ideas sound interesting, but my guess is that they will not want the public involved in any aspect of the voting due to some of the problems that erupted the first year. I would also guess the new rule changes have to do with the "rich" vs "poor" that some of the other BB Houses have instituted. I'm not sure how that format works. |
Car54 | Thursday, July 04, 2002 - 01:45 pm     From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: On the Tube: 'Big Brother' chiefs warn of surprises Thursday, July 04, 2002 By Rob Owen, Post-Gazette TV Editor Take this as you will: For some, the return of CBS's "Big Brother" is a clarion call; for others, it's a dire warning. The third edition of the voyeuristic show that puts contestants together in a house like human veal premieres at 9 p.m. Wednesday (additional episodes will air each week at 8 p.m. Saturdays and Thursdays). Arnold Shapiro, who produced last year's edition (which proved more popular than the original), returns as executive producer alongside Allison Grodner. In a teleconference last week, the pair said a few twists in game play will be forthcoming, but they wouldn't say what those twists will be. "The people coming in have worked it all out and think they have the perfect strategy, and all of them are in for a few surprises," Shapiro said. "The new elements will indeed affect strategy and the playing" Grodner added. "The other thing we're doing this year is, we're attempting to be a little tougher on these people," Shapiro said. That means more challenging competitions and the possibility of having to eat only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for more than three days. Last year's show found controversy early on when cast member Justin Sebik put a knife to the throat of another contestant. Although it was done in jest and he didn't intend any harm, it was still a violation of the show's rules and he was quickly evicted. "The media jumped on that and it became our signature, but that occurred in eight seconds and we dealt with it immediately. ... That's a rule we have now," Shapiro said, joking. "No more holding a knife to the neck. That's absolutely forbidden." But seriously, folks ... Shapiro and Grodner said they're more confident with the screening process this go-around. "We have done everything humanly possible to know the backgrounds of these people because of everything we learned last year," Shapiro said. "Allison and I will talk with each house guest individually, and we will be very thorough about violence and threats of violence as things we absolutely will not tolerate." This year's roster of contestants won't be announced until tomorrow on "The Early Show," but Shapiro said the contestants are champing at the bit to get into the redecorated "Big Brother" house. "They're extremely competitive people," he said, "each of whom is so confident he or she will win because they have the advantage of watching last year. We think they're going to be smarter in playing the game." Of course, with "Big Brother," even "smarter" is relative. |
Oemperor | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 12:25 pm     My guess is that the new rule will somehow negate Will's strategy of looking unthreatening. Perhaps getting x nominations will result in automatic eviction, or perhaps losing every HOH competition will somehow penalize you. Just some thoughts - someone's bound to try to emulate Will's strategy, and therefore the strategy should be negated... |
Sherball | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 03:00 pm     i would think that is where the heaven and hell split would come into play. It forces contestants to try to win to stay on the heaven side of the house...maybe |
Kaili | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 06:00 pm     I wonder if they will do these things in teams (for the good and the bad beds) or if it's all individual and the top scoring (or whatever) people win the good beds...and for how long? Nobody could possibly do Will's strategy as well as he did- people would see through it knowing what Will did last season. The HOH thing- I didn't like that person making the nomination decisions. Maybe they )hopefully) will return the nominations to more of a group based thing. Or maybe they will vote for who stays rather than who goes. |
Ryn | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 06:03 pm     New Rule.... NO WHISPERING IN THE HOT TUB!!!!! lol |
Kaili | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 06:15 pm     They should give them fun games to play- like the ones where you have to answer different questions- not like Trivial Pursuit (although that and Pictionary could be challenges) but the ones where you have to tell things about yourself or whatever- can't think of the names of those games now. Then there may be someone like Kent who would refuse to play like he did with the "I Never..." game they played, or whatever it was. Then that person could lose and be forced to eat Tuna instead of peanut butter! |
Realtvfan | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 05:28 pm     How about ... Instead of Peanut Butter and Jelly for a punishment, they could eat green eggs and spam. Oh wait a minute, that is "Fear Factor". Instead of liquor once a week on Wednesdays, have liquor everyday. That will keep things going. A contest where the last person to take their clothes off is evicted. Oh wait a minute, "Fear Factor" again. Each of the HG have to nominate 3 people for eviction publicly in front of all the other HGs and then HH gets to decide. Last year, they all did it privately in HH room. A little bit like Survivor IV with the coconuts. Hopefully BB 3 will haved learned from that. An extra-marital affair within the house will earn both HGs 2 weeks of immunity, as well as a CBS sponsored lawyer when they get out. Krista's lawyer for the lawsuit. As only the first HH, you get to listen with a special microphone of what is said in other rooms. No one in the house will have any cooking or cleaning skills, aka Nicole. After a week or two, the game will get really rough. Just some potential ideas. |
Kath149 | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 09:49 pm     I saw the cbs's web page on the fantasy game,(not up yet), that said there was a "veto challenge". Perhaps the person who wins this will then be able to veto one vote for eviction of another person. Should be interesting whatever it means. |

Shadowkat | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 01:55 pm     I saw this posted on another site and thought it was a VERY interesting idea. This could cause havoc if the person with the veto power was also one of the two people the HOH put up for nomination! "HOH is deteremined, then on antoher day that was previously empty a challenge of the remaining persons. The one that wins the veto powers will likely be able to protect oneself or possible overturn one of the HOH nominations." Any thoughts? |
Realtvfan | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 04:25 pm     If we look at all the machinations that the show Love Cruise tried with booting people off the boat, we probably have a hint as to what we can expect. Love Cruise took the previously booted folks who were "kicked off the boat" and brought them back in to the game toward the end, multiple times and in multiple ways. We can possibly expect something more influential than Mega's backrub of Eddie as well as Casandra's reality check of 2000. |
