How about if one of the nominees wins veto, they can replace themself with HOH? :)

for one week they should let the tv audience vote for who should be evicted. hoh still decides what two go up but we decide who leaves. i guarantee the 2 noms will be on their best behavior. also, for one week only let the tv audience pick the POV. this would probably be the better of the two because it would involve everyone in the house.

I would be scared of the TV audience. A vast majority of those watching don't know the true characters of these people. They see the show maybe 3 times a week. When you filter out the 3 compititions and 3 meetings, there isn't much time left to get to know them. Then when you factor in editing we have a total misconception of these HG.

The reason we could vote in BB1 was because it was on 5 days a week and we got to know the HG better and had a better perception of who to vote out.

romans, when i say tv audience i mean the same way we vote for which housequest to recieve a gift or message from home; by phoning in our vote. judging from danielle getting her message from home it seems that those who watch the feeds knew how much danielle needed it and we came through for her. plus it would only be for one week. it doesn't have to make perfect sense...bringing back an evicted houseguest sure didn't.

I like your idea Blossum. It would be a nice change to let us vote again...imagine the attitude changes in the house!

So true Romans. The vast majority really have no idea what goes on in BB3. Folks I work with do not watch the feeds. They adore Roddy. Thought Chiara was cute, until the gay kissing scene with Lisa. Have no idea how badly Gerry is treated.

Also, if on American Idol you can call in and vote for free....and millions do it each week, why can't CBS do the same thing? Maybe next year BB4 will be on Fox!

I posted on another thread, but here's mine:

HGs told there will be a twist in HOH competition, but not told what -- hopefully encourages them all to compete
The winner of competition is then told - you are not HOH, BUT must choose the next HOH, but not yourself, and right now, no strategy/alliance chit chat

That would shake things up

Oops, and forgot one element -- no POV for the week

kits, i like the idea of changing networks, i think they should do it without notice. suddenly BB is no longer on cbs. and housguests would be woken up to, "Good morning houseguests, we are now on the FOX network so we'd appreciate it if you would show a bit more T&A."

It looked like it was going to get boring when Roddy was nominated twice (Roddy goes, Danielle slides to the finals) and look what has become of that. True, Jason gave us the most boring week so far but by doing so he ensured that the coming week will be full of surprises. Just wait until tonight, it's going to become interesting again. Battle of titans, you know.
As for a twist there is one coming naturally. With 4 people left one wins HoH and nominates two others. Suppose the fourth one wins veto and uses it to save a nominee. Who is he/she gonna be replaced with? In fact without any additional 'twists' POV will finally become relevant. The reason it was used only once before is because it was ill balanced against the power of HOH. Of course, HOH couldn't nominate a veto holder but could nominate his/her closest ally and that's what prevented most people from using it. Now it can really come into play. For example, suppose Roddy is evicted next week and the week after Marcellas becomes HOH and puts up Danielle against Lisa. If Jason wins POV and saves Danielle the only person left for renomination is Amy, Marcellas's own ally, and she is eliminated by 2 votes. However, if he is able to keep his nominations Jason and Amy vote opposite and Marcellas sends Danielle home. This is just hypothetical but with numbers like 5 or less POV really becomes as powerful as HOH because renomination is forced upon HOH.

I agree, new change is that the viewers decide who goes of the nominees. They cant announce it till after this next set of nominees though. Wont that be a trip. They will all be in the diary room screaming.

Roddy will be playing to the camers 24/7. "view the tapes people, view the tapes"

Danni will be talking to the cameras and doing a Nicole, "Javier I love you I want to win it all for you and my babies".

Amy will be "bring on the liquir, I am goner anyway".

Marcellas will be queening out big time and the afternoon abs classes will be replaced with accessory coordination tutorials.

Lisa will be quietly smiling.

Jason will sit on his bed, read the bible and keep a smile on his face.

I will be dialing for Dannis. Eviction that is.

How about like on Temptation Island where they give the guests the opportunity to see footage of the other guests not in their presence? Let the guests see a little snippet of what others are saying/doing behind their backs.
