Kailas | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 09:06 am     Wouldn't it be interesting if BB gave each HG his own POV necklace when he/she enters the house. It could be used at any time, but would not be replaced....some of them would be used right away and they would be vulnerable for the rest of the game...some of them would be kept for use later. I think it would add dimension to the plotting and planning....can think of many scenarios where people might be nominated just to get rid of POV possibility. BB could barter for them with money, etc. Plenty of griping and talking about it..... What can you think of that it would add? |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 09:13 am     That's a good idea Kailas, kind of like the Fast Forward on Amazing Race. |
Kellirippa | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 09:34 am     What a great idea KAILAS!! I like, I like it a lot! And if I may expand on your idea, I would also love to see the show borrow an idea from "The Family", and rather than evict hg, eliminate them from the competition, but have them stay on in the house, that way anyone who hadn't used their POV upon elimination could be campaigned into using it on someone else, rather than everyone waiting to use it on themselves. I think having that many people continue to live together for the entire 3 months would create much more drama, the jury would still be unable to hear DR room entries, but would still be able to form alliances or lst hand opinions about the remaining contestants. The jury could still be allowed to compete in food or luxury competitions. I'd also love to see endurance type competitions set up in a way that not only gave hoh to the final person standing, but also penalized the first one, (and maybe the second to last one)to leave the competiton. Say for example, first one off can't compete for hoh next week, or pb&j for the week. I think it would make the competitions much more interesting. Even people who felt they were safe would be reluctant to drop out, and any deals made would have to be really sweet deals.. What'cha think? |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 09:36 am     Another good idea Kelli! Man, you guys are WAY more creative than me! All I can come up with is for BB to make it a rule that no hot guys can be voted out of the house. |
Lostintheglades | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 09:38 am     I agree Clio...although your twist works for me too. |
Kellirippa | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 09:42 am     Well yeah Clio, I can definatley see the merrits of your twist! |
Onlyhuman | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 09:48 am     Clio, you obviously know what is most important. How about this...hot guys can't be voted out, but they can be ordered not to speak and forced to do everything shirtless. Eye candy without the inane conversation...yum! |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:00 am     LOL! Works for me! |
Crazydog | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:06 am     I said last year that instead of PB&J, the losing team must go naked for the whole week. That'd be a way to bump up the live feed viewership! |
Eeyoreslament | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:28 am     What if everyone had their veto left towards the end, and then everyone vetoed themself in a week, and nobody was left over to nominate? Would there be a rule where only one veto could be used per week? What would happen this week? Would they ALSO be allowed to compete for a second veto each week, in case they've already used theirs? |
Bastable | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:31 am     Kailas, a great idea. I'm glad the BB producers read this board, because they should seriously consider that one. |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:39 am     There are so many ways they could mix this game up -- you guys have some great ones. I just wish the BB people would put some effort into making some creative and challenging changes, rather than the time the spend decorating the back yard for a challenge we see for all of 2 minutes. The idea of winning a veto that could be saved and used anytime is a great one. The idea of penalizing people for doing poorly in the competitions is long overdue. BB are you awake?! |
Kellirippa | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:40 am     I think it would have to be set-up for one veto per week, maybe something like the "guess where Jun is" competition, the first one to ring the bell gets to use the veto, but if you do ring the "Veto bell", you must use your veto. And, no second veto competition, that would be the reason for timing the use of your veto wisely. Maybe they could make it so that all vetos not used by this point in the game would be forfeited (Julie could announce this as a twist, and anyone who had been hanging on would be out of luck), and the final "Diamond Veto", would be the only actual competition for Veto?? |
Kellirippa | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:49 am     OH...OH..how about this, they set a deadline and anyone who wishes to use their veto that week would have to state their intentions in the DR by that time and then only the people who want to use it have a competition, but the winner MUST use the veto, that way, there is no lame veto meeting, only the competition. Maybe when they make their intentions about using the veto known in the DR, they would also have to state exactly who they are going to veto. |
Spyder | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:52 am     These are good ideas-- and BB needs to consider them. I love BB, but they have the LAMEST "twists" Other reality shows seem to understand that (by definition) a twist is something unexpected-- Somebody here compared Jee to Charlie Brown, but I sometimes feel as if it's really US-- the audience-- and the producers are Lucy-- each time they promise a startling new twist. This season isn't over though. (See-- I remain ever-optimistic!) |
Kellirippa | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:54 am     LOL Spyder, too true...every disappointing twist does feel like having that football yanked away at the last minute! |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:39 am     continuing the veto idea... each person gets a "veto opportunity chip" and the people who want to use the veto that week all put them in a box. A competition (or even random drawing) is held to determine who gets to use their veto (and they don't have to use it). All the people who wanted to use the veto that week all lose their "veto opportunity chip", even if they don't win the right to veto. Gosh, BB, it's so easy to brainstorm this stuff... |
Ziggystardust | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:44 am     How about Big Brother World - 2 contestants from each of the countries that currently have a BB - oh and of course Canada! Each country could come up with a weeks worth of comps. Could be interesting. |
Kailas | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 02:07 pm     All good ideas!! Perhaps bartering, or buying the veto necklaces issued to each on arrival... using some sort of reward chips would be fun. Of course, BB would have to strictly supervise honesty. (That, in itself, would be a breath of fresh air!!) |
Bbfanatic | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 02:25 pm     sounds ok, but not original. TAR!!!!! |
Kailas | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 02:35 pm     Huh?!?!?!? What is issued in advance on TAR?? |
Crossfire | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 02:44 pm     I presume the answer is Fast Forward. Each team gets get to do one per game. |
Mich | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 03:49 pm     Brenda1966 to quote you "Gosh, BB, it's so easy to brainstorm this stuff... " I couldn't agree more. i'm sure the majority of the members on this board are not producers/writers by trade yet we could collectively work a better bb show than they have this year. hopefully this years' comments will push for a re-vamped one next year...a girl can hope can't she  |
Kellirippa | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 03:58 pm     Hey BBFANATIC!! Don't pee on our parade! |
Reiki | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 08:35 pm     If the producers only took half the ideas that we have come up with on this board they would have a really great season of twists for BB5. |
