I'm pretty every single person to watch Ch7 BB has complained about it's format for 1 reason or another and yes I'd like it to be live but this post is about how to improve a pre-recorded BB.
I want to try and tweak the format, not change many things about it and see how much you think it would improve the show.
Challenge Variety
When there's challenge variety, it increases the odds of different people winning which is more fun than the same people winning again and again and again.
One example is have a challenge about how well the HMs know each other. It's trivia, viewers learn about the HMs, rewards social game and could cause drama depending on what answers people give. Production know how to do this. Just look at the panic room tasks, make 1 of those a nominations challenge.
Less House Tasks
Up until this last week every episode had either a shopping task, house task, secret mission or panic room. What I suggest is having the first episode of the week (except maybe the first week) be a shopping task and have a secret mission every couple of weeks. If there were less tasks it would open up 20+ minutes of airtime that can be used to learn about the HMs.
Challenge Variety can also apply to House Tasks
If you wanted to have more house tasks than I'm suggesting than you could but I think it works best if the reward is something viewers can connect with. Does anyone care when they win a feast?
Let the viewers get to know the HMs
It's ridiculous to have a season where you show an intro package for everyone except 1 person. It happened last year with Christina and this year with Gabbie. How many of you could name 3 personal facts about each of the HMs from only watching the show? Less House Tasks helps accomplish this.
Alternative to Less House Tasks
Have the same amount but put some on 7plus as deleted scenes. The amount of tasks would be the same in the house but on the show there would be more time to learn about HMs AND more people might watch the bonus content on 7plus.
I don't think I've changed the format all that much. I've kept it pre-recorded, I've kept HMs evicting each other and I think the viewers enjoyment of the show would rise dramatically. What do you think?
Q: We've seen live BB/public evicts with intruders, we've seen pre-recorded BB/HMs evicts with intruders, how would you feel about a live BB with HMs evicting each other having intruders?
