I'll start...

1. I wish they would actually BE Big Brother. In other words, HGs do not see or hear any "individual" Big Brother staff members. All talking to HGs is computerized. Hgs do not see staff at any time. Big Brother is more anonymous (like BB 1).

2. Houseguests are allowed to sing what they want when they want and not FOTH for singing. It keeps them from being quite as bored (or boring). Also more fun, like BB1.

3. No FOTH when competitions are being held, not even when getting instructions. Heck, we know they're getting instructions, let those who pay for feeds watch. I will still watch the TV show, I promise.

Your turn...

I couldn't have said it better, Demeter. They have too many restrictions how HGs can't say anything bad about someone outside the house due to slander laws, and that they can't sing due to copyrights. That sucks, because not only can they not act naturally or be themselves, it deprives us of knowing their real personalities and letting them have fun.

Good ones Demeter! I actually don't mind not seeing the competitions. It leaves something that I haven't seen for the show (but no other FOTHs would be nice). I'll add...

4. Make the HGs get out of bed by 9am. No more of this sleeping in till noon. We on the east coast are screaming at our monitors to "get up!"

5. The standard wish of having 'real' people and not the ones picked out of casting call.

6. I love the idea that came up in the other thread that once a HG is voted out they remain in the house. They could cause all kinds of chaos without having to worry about the consequences.

7. I wish they would take one of my 400+ garbage TV channels, and run the feeds out on cable 24/7. Keep the streaming junk as a backup for people to steal a peek while they are at work.

Edited to add a number. Ooops.

8. Houseguests who have no show business aspirations.

9. Keep the peanut butter weeks in the past! Its not like we enjoy watching a bunch of grumby hungry people! Give the losers tv dinners and the winners a banquet but skip the peanut butter for a week stuff.

10. I wish they would publish the BB 'living with us rule book' for us armchair umpires. When someone does something naughty, I want to know what it is, and what I am permitted to demand, and I want said punishment and all reactions to said punishment televised/streamed.

11. If someone wants to storm out in a huff, I don't want the best paid psychiatric doctors in the world talk them out of it, I want them to be taunted and dared to do it. I want them to know the name of their replacement.

12. Speaking of psychiatry, if someone appears so unstable as to do harm to him/herself or others, just get them out of the house IMMEDIATELY! Justin shouldn't have been there long enough to pull the knife incident with Krista. Nicole shouldn't have been given mood altering drugs just to keep her sane enough to remain, especially after threatening Will.

13. Spare us the letters from home and don't allow ANY CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD except a weekly visit from Julie Chen.

Oh, yes -- another "pet" peeve:

14. DO NOT put ANY non-human living creature in the BB house (or yard). That is the ultimate cruelty to animals!

15. All HGs must have respect and appreciation for the internet fans. They must never refer to us as nerds or any similar term. If they do, we will send a moderator to remind them that if we stopped watching the TV show, ratings would suffer.

16.NO ZIT PICKING!

17. Bring back the garden and chickens. They need stuff to do, lol.

18. Allow the public a secret vote!

LOL ~ #'s 10, 11 & 14 have me ROTFL! Thank you guys! It's just a reminder that without this site, I wouldn't enjoy (or keep watching) BB at all!!

i also agree with laisey, we must be respected...and not be referred to as '200 pound internet nerds', cause if it weren't for us, they would have almost no audience at all. we should be considered their 'raison d'etre'...not treated as the 'bran group' LOL, i'll show those houseguests FOTHeinie....
they must also be witty and smart (really smart, not just "lecture us to tears" a la roddy). and if they are tvcher's, they must start dozens of sentences with 'right now'....so that we recognize one of our own!

I like the idea of a secret vote by viewers, every once in awhile, BB could just announce that the eviction is on Wednesday (or Thursday or whatever it is) and the HG would all plan their voting strategies, but then on the live show Julie would announce that the HG won't be voting after all, that the vote was already done by the VIEWERS! That would be a real shock to any HGs that might have gotten a strong alliance put together and thought that they could control the rest of the game or something! :)

I'd like an alternating system. One week the HGs nominate (forget the HOH) and the viewers evict and the next week the viewers nominate and the HGs evict. This show had better start soon, my brain is going into BB meltdown.

I LOVE your idea, Sanfran. It would really add a great twist to the strategizing if the HGs weren't totally in control of getting rid of people.

Can't wait for the show to start!!!

Go back to the way it was when houseguests were not on a first name basis with "Big Brother" and could not talk to producers any time they wanted.

If houseguests refer to the internet viewers in an unkind manner Big Brother reads them a few of our replies to their comments.

Viewers are given the choice of "don't give them anything" for America's Choice

Corriecat, I love it, but I want to add an additional choice for AC: Give them nothing and take last AC prize away from them. Guess I'm just feeling mean today.

OOO...Corrie ..NICE idea!!! I also like Laisey's alternating eviction idea. You know, there ARE some 'big twists' this year .. and by the sound of 'will have America talking' .. you might be ON TO something .. are you guys clairvoyant???!!

"Don't give them anything" ..LOLOL what a hoot. Our way of telling them, "Bad! Bad houseguests!!"

Aiza, My nonexistant clairvoyance tells me that when the "big twists" are announced, we'll all say "Is that all there is to it? We all had much better ideas". How's that for a prediction?

I think HOH is ok - but more for the honor of winning a challenge than being so in control of who is up to get the next boot. Have HOH, give them the special rm & luxury items and also, let them be the informant to the others during their rein. But, take it back to BB1 style, & let every house guest pick 2 hamsters for eviction & then have every house guest vote again for one to boot out of the 2 with the most picks. I don't think you would get the throwing of HOH like we've seen in prev. yrs.
