Now that BIG Brother has bowed out for another year, just like we had last year, this thread can be used to
post your hopes and predictions for next year's series of TV's premier reality show. Whatever you want
to see in BIG Brother 2005, and what you think might happen, feel free to post it here.
But after this year outrageous shenanigans, next year's series of BB will have a hard act to follow.
Oh, and if you don't like BIG Brother, don't bother posting anything here!
According to Davina several times tonight, we were already watching BB 2005.

Where do you go from after 'evil' Big Brother?
'Really nice' Big Brother? No that didn't work - cf BB4.
Evil BB again? No - just doing the same.
'Big Brother - The Battle' (aka Dutch BB 3) or 'The Wall' (aka Greek BB 3) i.e. having the rich/poor divide throughout the whole event? No as it didn't appeal when trialled before on UK BB.
Difficult to predict. This time last year people had loads of ideas on how to improve on BB4 (no one got the EVIL thing though) - but predictin BB6 is so much more difficult.
The evil thing has to stay though - but more in the background next year - EVIL SHOULD BE THE NORM. Maybe they could offer housemates bigger rewards to be won through evil tasks, and take the theme "You've got to be cruel to be kind".
Getting the cast right helps though - this year most of them wore their hearts on their sleaves, making great viewing.
As for the format - I've always wanted to see Head of House bought in, but when the original format works as well as this year, why axe it? I do think they should be allowed to discuss nominations though as that rule is very difficult to police - and bitching = ratings.
I think a couple of things will change next year - Davina will move back indoors, and the prize fund will be fixed at £100,000. However - to discourage rule breaking they could knock £1000 off for ever rule broken. Alternatively they could introduce a Sin Bin.
I personally would like to see the rich-poor divide make a return - but with a few changes. Firstly, only those on the rich side would nominate - with only those on the poor side eligible for nominations, and secondly, later in the week housemates would compete against each other with the winner choosing one person from each side to swap places.
Also, they need to sort out the final week - either keep it to 3 or 4 for the final, or alternatively have 6 housemates enter the final week, with one kicked out everyday from Monday to leave just two in the house for the Friday final.

Are you sure about that, Andrew?
Prior to this BB, BB3 with the rich/poor divide was by far the most watched and voted-on series so far. I loved the divide myself - BB thrives on division and conflict, and BB3 delivered that.
Keeping slightly to the 'evil' theme but with more spooky happenings...

(I.e: Hello Nadia..You must not discuss this conversation with fellow housemates)
Buttons to operate everything. (I.e The house will practically be empty - Beds will be diguised into the walls and will only be operational once housemates have found button/codes etc Same goes for Kitchen unit - spa etc Big Brother will be able to shut power off from these at any time!)
Random weather effects
Spooky noises
A few ideas there - some of which probably impossible for C4 to do

I saw a couple of the Dutch 'BB - The Battle' episodes (oddly one of their hms was a t/s too) - and it seemed quite appealing. As far as I remember, a weekly task had to be completed to determine which team remained on which side of the divide, as well as the weekly nominations.
But regardless, each successive BB has to now have a gimmick to succeed. What could BB6 have?

I will admit to be living abroad at the time! However, I do recall that on this forum and others, that the divide was not really welcomed by many.
Me, though, I loved it on (the original!) Dutch version where you had half the hms living in splendour with all they could want, and the other half living in a shed in the garden with no hot water and a privy.
Try doing that to the English and see how they complain!

It be great if instead off the alarm have spring loaded beds!!!! I agree with hiding things like the kitchen etc. Start them off camping in the garden, then each week they (can) win a room.

"Big Brother Gets Worse" or "Big Brother gets Pyschological"
House built entirely inside. Garden has real grass but a fake ceiling, which can adapt to sunny, cloudy, or rainy (with the addition of sprinklers), plus of course day and night.
Big Brother would play games with the housemates by changing the time of day, eg it would get dark at 6PM.
No clocks, watches, or anything they can tell the time with.
Secret partitions can come down from the ceilings unexpectedly either dividing the house into sections or making the house smaller.
Housemates are permitted to discuss nominations but not tell other housemates to nominate or not nominate another housemate.
One bedroom again with six double beds.
Alarm again, going off at different times, ranging from 3AM to 11AM depending on weekly tasks. This will encourage arguments as not much sleep leads to scattiness.
Have alcohol practically on tap.
Never make housemates live on rations. If they fail a task, make the wake up call early. This will p*ss them off big time.
If housemates pass task, let them lie in (to an extent) and give them treats such as a party, open a secret room, or a buffet.
If housemates are being boring or if BB just wants to stir things, change time of day gradually to night early so that the housemates start getting ready for sleep. Then wake them at midnight and have "daytime" begin. This will screw up their biological clocks and make them get angry.
Housemates nominate two people as usual, but public vote who they want to stay. Person with least votes leaves. This allows no multiple voting to evict someone.
Big Brother should rearrange/remove furniture every so often.
Big Brother should play tricks on housemates, eg removing each favourite items (Nadia's cigarettes for example), planting someone's belongings in someone elses case, planting news papers, staging "fake" technical faults etc.
House should start with the house split into two, each with 8 housemates, separated into groups (eg "nice" and "nasty" or whatever) Housemates should be under the illusion that there are no evictions for four weeks, then they begin to leave. However, in Week 1, public vote one out from each "house" and as they are evicted the dividing wall comes up so that the group becomes whole. Nasties may form an alliance and this could lead to bitching.
Housemates are met with a cold Big Brother in the Diary Room.
Big Brother should be mean to housemates and do stuff like locking them in the bedroom for 6 hours while "major changes are made to the living area", for them to return to the room exactly as it is.
Big Brother should show a housemate clips of others bitching about them in the Diary Room, and then inform them not to discuss it. This will lead to them isolating themselves from the group and/or blowing up in rage.
Big Brother should make sure that the housemates sleep pattern is severely screwed up and varied to create a tired atmosphere and change daylight hours from being long to very short quickly.
A "mini-task" should take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, leaving Mondays for nominations and Fridays for evictions.
Big Brother should regularly play crowd noise into the house to make them think there is an eviction.
The only problem I can see if H&S might not like the diea of keeping them indoors so unless there was a second garden as well as the wierdo garden it might not be allowed.
I love the idea of sending them mad though. The question is, could we put up with 12 James Martins on TV for that long? Wibble.
