The current format sucks for people who like to be spoiler free, but is the fairer for players and editors alike.
The Sunday show is jam-packed as it is. They need to film a food competiton, nominations and a massive amount of diary room footage before the Saturday afternoon. They film the food competition at Friday lunchtime, nominations Friday evening, and then lots of diary room narration for the eviction, HoH, pro-noms and then some post nom stuff.
They already push nominations back as long as they can to give the HoH more time. (I believe Grodner has actually stated on a number of occasions that her one of her main irritations is that the HoH has less than 24 hours to make their nominations)
I guess could quite easily move the Veto back until the Sunday, but I think the logic there is that nothing really changes between nominations and Veto, so it's fairer on the HoH to give them all of Sunday to make their post-veto comp decisions, instead of having them spend Saturday with the veto result lingering over any plans they might have.”
Frankly I don't really care about the food competition, it has no relevance to the game. And the DR narration where they often just state what we have seen is often not an essential part of the program.
Veto is as important as HoH, for it not to be shown live either on live feed or on the show and just to be edited together doesn't exactly sound like it is an open way of doing things. And on a fast forward program they can actually fit a lot into one show, so they can do more if they want to. And they can also work harder during the week rather than just at weekends. So programs with time after them (2 or 3 days) for decisions.
1 eviction + HoH competition
-time for HoH to think about nominations-
2 then HoH nominations +veto competition
-time to decide on veto replacement-
3 veto announcement
-time to think about eviction votes-
