If they want to continue civilian BB, I think they should really do a back to basics Big Brother. I think it could inspire new viewers or old viewers to return - a series with chalkboards back, only ever normal nominations. A rule where if you ever discuss nominations you and those you will automatically be up for eviction. No new housemates. No interfering from Big Brother. And producers of the show who are interested in showing who these people actually are, how they interact, and them actually having fun!!!

I actually think the most important thing that's changed with the show for the worse is the involvement of Big Brother. I think:

* Big Brother should never try to engineer an argument in a contrived way (for example by letting housemates hear/watch/read what other housemates are saying/have said about them.) It's more powerful as a viewer anyway if you are privy to something bad about a HM that those in the house aren't aware of.
* Everything that said in the diary room should be confidential. Housemates know anything can be shown to the house now and are always aware of this. Thus, you don't get the level of utter honesty in the diary room that you used to. Also, Big Brother has more power if he is a nurturing parent figure, there to be confided in. Then, for example, one time have Big Brother ignore the house and HMs will feel abandoned. If Big Brother is at least 95% of the time a figure to confide in, he has more power over the HMs for whatever singular/infrequent betrayal/task.

As for what I miss, I'd love to see how the folks in the house would cope with tasks like the one where they had to compete against each other to see who could stay in a box the longest or who could stay awake the longest. They'd never do a task like now, and if they did I'm not convinced any housemate would bother staying in their box after 5 minutes....?

Every little tradition of the original BB has gone.

Chalk board Shopping list - gone
Live Feed - gone
Non Interfered Nominations - gone
No talking nominations rule - gone
No outside contact - gone
Alcohol had to be bought in shopping list - gone
Public only voted evictions - gone
24/7 shopping tasks - gone
Diary Room confidential - gone

Probably many more!
I miss all of those things too, they really should just change the name of this programme as it isn't big brother anymore
