Let's get back to 'BBasics'

[reinganum]

If there's to be a BB9, then please let's get back to "organic" BB Classic with 'no added housemates'.

Rules.
10 weeks max; not to start till GCSE exams over.
Max 12 housemates at start.
No evictions first week but everyone up in second week, 2 go out. (This gets rid of the 'deadwood')
Thereafter, one housemate evicted each week till final week.
No new housemates unless someone walks, and substitutes on a one-for-one basis. No substitutes after fifth week.

Immunity from eviction may on occasion be prize for winning a task (but not too often).

Anyone agree?

[cameo]

Definately!!!
Also no secret rooms. The house is as it is, no hidden extras.

[eyeshade]

It would make a refreshing change. Am getting sooo bored now, am going to bed before it comes on even.
Like the idea.

[DonLyn]

Yes I agree. Great idea. That's almost how it was when it first started, that's why it became so popular. It has been ruined by too much change.

and too many freaks. Just pick auditions out of a hat and stick them all in house, and dont agree of getting rid of deadwood, who are we to judge on what channel 4 shows us

[Scarlett]

You should send your ideas to Channel 4- I do regularly! I last complained about Davina's crap interview with Charley where she let her get away with murder.
Not sure about the freaks though- it is VERY boring watching "normal" people. Can you imagine watching 12 Kara- Louises or Liams? They have to have something about them to make good telly.

[4gottenabout]

everybody has something about them, I wouldnt have thought I'd be interested in the dullards in BB1 but was the best ever BB

[Octavius]

If we are having a clear out, can we also get rid of Davina and that Geordie voiceover bloke. Bring Jeremy Paxman in for the interviews and a nice cockney geezer for the voiceover, or the bloke who does the narration for You Are What You Eat and Dine With Me, flip me even Sir Derek Jacobi would be better, he could do it in the style of In the Night Garden. Houseymates, houseymates knock on the door�. The housemates could be evicted via the ninky nonk.

I agree with Scarlett. We definitely don't want another BB4!

[reinganum]

Sorry, Tigger, I hate to admit this but BB4 was actually my favourite! (with BB3, BB5 and BB1 my joint second-favourites). The gimmicks are tiresome, I admit, but the 'rich-side, poor-side' thing in BB3 was a stroke of genius. The 'treat-room' in BB4 was quite good, too, as was the Cameron-Gaetano swap. (But this sort of thing works well only once.)

The 'secret' house thing with extra housemates they did last year and this is just tiresome. It smacks too much of desperate ratings-grabbing.
