IF - and it seems a big if at the moment - BB11 goes ahead next year I would like this to happen:

When the audtitions take place, the would-be housemates are told that there is the prize money for the winner, but that is it. None of the others will stand to make any money out of the programme from magazine deals, TV appearances etc etc. It will be like the first BB (and to a certain extent the second one), when it truly was a social experiment.

I wonder if half these wannabes would fail to apply, and we'd get some decent human beings in there for a change.(A couple this year fit that mould, but we still don't know if they're doing it for the deals afterwards). If the media said no publicity after eviction night, it might make a hell of a difference.

What do you lot think (if you have the will to trawl through this rather long rambling)?

Tis easy.... all housemates chosen from THAT years auditions. No 'dry run' people. No seeing people put forward by agents (in fact, it should be part of the contract that when they go in the house, they don't have an agent).

And, understanding that normal (as in everyday) people are interesting. That bizarre and weird characters often have that persona cos there is little underneath the facade.

Choose people who we would find interesting to talk to in real life... not who we would run away from if they accosted us in Tesco's!

If this was made clear that this was what was wanted, then audition vt's wouldn't be such false cringey hyped up sequences... and would be harder to blag!

Stop trying set up previous years storylines that made ratings peak... let them develop naturally.

Finally, stop box ticking the psychological screening process... if someone of sound mind goes into meltdown, we can handle that. But watching someone with obvious issues, lose the plot is not entertaining... its cruel.
