BIG BROTHER 7: Because ALL - STARS was lost, there were many speculations about the possibility of the eighth season. Is there one? No one is yet convinced. CBS is still ahead of it. No one disputes the fact that BIG BROTHER has problems. The ratings have steadily declined and the quality of the show itself is not reflected in past seasons. What should CBS do to improve Big Brother? I have some ideas.
1. Air twice a week rather than three times
This may offend Young Big Brother, but it is a pity, but it needs to happen. Each episode is a choke full of unnecessary extreme paddings. We never have to be pulled out of the house for a part of someone's family life. I do not want it, and I think most viewers agree. Personification will dilute the personality inside the company. The point of Big Brother is that behavior exists in vacuum. I do not want to distort my perception of the person I love / dislikes by extra, real knowledge.
With twice a week episode, more casual viewers will be able to see Big Brother. Episodes three times a week is a big commitment for shows that need to be viewed comprehensively, especially for maximum enjoyment. In the twice-weekly episode, a higher rating and a big fan base are created and Big Brother becomes a fun program in its entirety. There is no loser there.
2. Notes to the casting director: More stupid people
The success of real television typically begins with casting and ends. People and human exchanges initially attract viewers, especially in the case of BIG BROTHER. BIG BROTHER improves the quality of that cast with live feeds and three televised episodes in a week. However, CBS recently has a fearful job of choosing HouseGuests.
Three people in this season are dominant, mainly Will, Janel, Daniel. And what do you guess? They were probably the three most sensible people in the house. BIG BROTHER is a better game when smart people and other smart people fight. It is preferable to make the smartphone morally rot. The most enjoyable part of the contest is the scheme, lie, theater acting, backstroke. How hard is it to cast an intelligent person at least on the way? They are still good-looking and strange, strange and noisy, but at the very least they should be able to enjoy the game as much as possible.
3. Challenge yard
The bold challenge is recession. they are. You can not claim this. However, I think that CBS is making the best possible effort, such as the restrictions they are giving, that there is no room in the backyard, no time to set up. I came up with a simple and expensive solution, a challenge yard.
Leave the house and the backyard as it is, but build a huge garden on the adjacent lot and use it only for the challenge. House guests can enter it (via the gate or possibly via the underground tunnel) after the next challenge time. Think about it: CBS needs to establish elaborate and difficult competition, and HouseGuest will not always be painful at lockdown. What are the possible disadvantages? Certainly, it may cost a little more money, but they seem to be conceptualized by a fourth grader.
4. If big twist is planned, please check what actually happens
It is mainly aimed at the collapse of ALL-STARS and the whole coup d'etat. Do not exaggerate your big twists on many of the episodes and it is not entirely important. What is the point? The coup was initially a bad idea. Because coupons can not guarantee to be used, frankly, it was unnecessary power anyhow. So, CBS, this is what I tell you: if you are planning big twists and turns, do not wait too long, not wonder about it, just drop it suddenly into HouseGuests. If you give a hint, both fans and HouseGuest will inevitably begin to guess and inevitably become depressed once you eventually reveal it, since you come up with an unimaginable idea.
Or, there is no big distortion. Truly, I do not mind.
5. Shoot Julie Chen soon
Chenbot has always withdrawn the anger of the fans for her lack, well, for hosting ability. She is constantly trembling on her line, talking robotically and is a very unfamiliar interviewer. Besides that, I think that she is OK. What I am here is that she does not have anything on the table, even though she gets better and rarely screwed. AT ALL. It seems that the host will add to the procedure. Please look at Jeff Probst. He has SURVIVOR 's Cast Away and a smooth friendship, has demands and interesting questions, and has air and infectious confessions that are hard to deny. Chen is a purely wet blanket and is struggling to read his cue card. I throw her away.
6. Raise the prize money to 1 million dollars
The show "Treasure Hunters" debuted at the NBC this summer has robbed the winning team about $ 3 million. SURVIVOR still offers $ 1 million to the winner. Why is CBS unable to raise BIG BROTHER's share of $ 500,000? There is still an important part of the viewer who views BIG BROTHER as a 2-bit reality show. One of the reasons is (relatively) prize money compared to other reality show. In case of CBS, extra 500 G is change of champ. They are just cheap. The prize money spike not only brings new viewers but also adds internal drama. Focusing on victory doubles, players will not give up easily.
Like now, contestants of BIG BROTHER have already made a foolish and long sacrifice to appear in the show, and they can also earn rewards by wages alone.
If CBS welcomes BIG BROTHER in the eighth season, some basic changes are necessary. Even if it is not one, it must be something. Let's hope that they will work it well.
