I have a few ideas, feel free to contribute your own.
Here goes;
• firstly... Live feed. It has to come back, we really do not have a clue what goes on for the 23 other hours of the day. If we bring this back all the scripted suspicions, "directed" tasks and public manipulation editing theories will become a thing of the past.
• No contact with the outside world. FFS this should be standard, yet they are getting letters from home, phonecalls, last year they even had relatives/friends visiting them as part of a task FFS, the year before (I think) there was a ****ing film premiere held at the house with a red carpet running right through!! It's an utter shambles and laughable when you think about it. Once they go in there, they should have no idea what is going on beyond the walls of that compound. That's what happened in the old days of BB and it was better for it, the lack of awareness made it more real I think. I remember the days when if a tennis ball with a message written on was thrown in the garden, it was like a grenade had been thrown in. Nowadays they'd be like "tell us something we don't know".
• Emma's talking to the house should be done in a closed studio. This isn't vital but it bugs me that they find out how popular they are when they hear the crowds chant. It influences people's behaviour in the house, it quite possibly influences nominations as well. They shouldn't know the popularity of a housemate until the doors open and the housemate walks out.
• Diary room confidentiality. Again this should be standard. What is said between housemates and BB in the diary room should not under any circumstances be seen by fellow housemates unless it's a live thing as part of a task that they know about. No way should BB be showing footage of diary room convo's from weeks ago to stir shite in the house. It's just purely manipulating the situation which makes it anything but reality tv imo. It will get to the stage where in future series' housemates will be wary about opening up to BB in the diary room for fear that BB might play it to the whole house 2 weeks down the line.
• This is touching on the no outside world contact part again but I thought I'd put it in a separate point: NO tasks that involve viewers opinions from twitter, viewer polls, questions etc. Keep them wondering what the public think of them. The only input the viewers should have is deciding who stays and who goes.
That's just for starters, I know my ideas are very old school BB but that's when it was good I think.
I'll probably add more later on but in the mean time feel free to add your input.
If we can get loads of good ideas I may send the contents of this thread to the powers that be in the hope that they might take some of it on board.
