If the C4 producers were to ask for our opinions on BB4 (which they should to avoid such unpopular decisions such as the bars) what would you advise them?

BB was meant to be tougher this year and although I agree the poor side must have been hard for the first couple of weeks, BB weren't exactly dishing out those strikes. It took 3 weeks before they handed one out, Jade had to discuss nominations about 20 times before she got one, and then after blatantly passing through the bars on Adele's eviction night only recieved a warning! Alex actually told Tim who he had voted for and again only recieved a warning!

I know that BB cant force the HMs to stay, after all it is not a prison, but if they could do something to reduce the HMs walking. Sunita set a precident this year and now whenever HMs are having a bad day/week they start to disucss walking.

Opinions..........

BB4 should be Big Brother: Champions League with contestants from all 3 series competing. BB has far too many fans to allow normal members of the public to go into the house, as this year's wannabes have shown.

My choices for the house would be:

Anna
Nick
Caroline
Brian
Helen
Narinder
Alison
Jade
Stuart
Darren

I think Narinder might kill herself if she was in with Jade! Could be a good idea but they would all know how they are perceived (bit like the celebrity one) so it maight only work for a couple of weeks and they might not want to go in again

BB4 : This time its Old Mother Hubbard

They should hold it in a giant shoe. nd

Firstly, a much larger cash prize.
The relatively small prize means that rather than go all out for the win and a life changing amount of money, many of the HMs
see it as an opportunity to start or further a career in the media.
Tagged to that, hopefully less wannabes. Despite the pre-series claims that they did not want them, it has proved to be false and the TV experience of a number of the HMs has spoilt it a bit for me. Thorough vetting is needed.

As far as the format goes, I missed the old tasks hugely.
Maybe the new Saturday task can be incorporated into the old way eg a major task over most of the week ends live on Saturday, either with the live test eg. Obstacle course, world records or just the end ofn ongoing one eg. fire task, bike endurance test.

The one thing that has annoyed me from the very first series is the scheduling and length of programmes.
I would like to see at least a 40 minute highlight show.
So much is missed in the current ones (at best 23 minutes long) especially when E4/Web/DS watchers know so much
has happened in the previous day.
Maybe also a set amout of television time for each HM
ie 40 minute show and 10 HMs = 4 mins on each.
40 minute show and 5 HMs = 8 minutes on each.

This would give a far more accurate view of the people
as boring dull people who C4 viewers wouldn't normally see
would get to see how boring and dull they are and full on
playing to the camera types would have their exposure limited
somewhat.

I think televsion gold such as the eviction night is a little rushed and the interview too short.

There are 4.5 hours of C4 Big Brother terrestrial coverage.
I think it could easily be 7 hours and would add even more to the show.

Lastly, for BB4 (please!!) I hope they are as generous with the shopping budget (I like them having tons of alcohol) but have to risk it through the tasks as before but are much less generous with the treats, takeaways and giving Spencer and Jonny tobacco etc etc etc.

Nominations should always be live (as in the first noms in BB2) and on Monday night say. Now that would be great!
I don't understand why they downplay what is let's face it, the best aspect of the show. They should show it live, make a big deal out of it and they'd probably make even more money from calls! What's stopping them?

Finally, much more substance please!! BB is an entertainment programme but I also love to watch them as human beings as
we rarely see ourselves and people as we can see them on BB.
So, more discussion topics, more intellectual pursuits (so more intelligent HMs!!) and at the other end of the scale....more nudity and less censorship!

I can only hope!
