I reckon they should pre-record the housemates' noms like they used to a few years back, and chop the eviction show from 90 minutes to 60. Liked the Peter Denahy clip though. I'd love to see more piss-taking like that. That footage of Brigitte in the diary room is ripe for a re-voicing...

I don’t think it’s too late for the eviction process to be changed. Instead of all the house mates giving reasons for their points, they should just exit via the diary room and press a button or put a ball in a tube. Don’t even show it, just keep it short and simple so it’s not so boring!

The thing that has always brought Big Brother down isn’t the show, it’s the never happy fans.

The hosts aren't helping the show either. Gretel may have appeared to be a bit too clever, but the new hosts do not have a fraction of her wit.

Jackie O seems to be trying very hard, but she is not a skilled interviewer. Kyle on the other hand does not appear to be making much effort at all, and on the eviction show last night he was wooden at best. Does he have issues with the producers that he is acting out in public?

I think this season needs to be rescued before the whole franchise goes into terminal decline. Dump Kyle for someone younger and more vibrant, but keep Jackie as the "co-host".

Next year even more substantial changes are required (if the show lasts that long). Maybe a change of network?

The revolver is a bad idea because the best part of the Sunday evictions was the heightened emotion in the House when the evictee was announced. Now they have to say good bye to three, not knowing which one is actually leaving. No real emotion there, boring. Oh, and Gretel is sorely missed. Her contribution to the show has been severly underestimated.

you’ve hit the nail on the head there dave. the eviction show was just plain boring and the new nomination/eviction procedure is much worse. Good on them for trying to mix it up a bit though.

IMO they need to just get rid of nominations and give the HM’s another way to express their thoughts on each other. Just have everyone up for nomination every week – none of this “Danger zone” business.

Snap evictions would be great too. None of this forewarnig crap, just boot somebody out at a random time of the day with no notice.
