Instead of a veto it should be a fight for immunity. So everyone gets to play for immunity, and the person that gets immunity gets to decide whether the HOH can change the nominations. That way power isnt taken from the HOH, but the HOH can't be for sure if they can change nominations. There would still be backdooring, but it wouldn't be an absolute safe plan for the HOH. And the two on the block can fight to save themselves, and people wouldn't throw competitions if they new they...

Yeah, I think everyone playing for the veto was much better. The BB5 system made sense and it also seemed okay to make BB6 random so there would be no more six finger plans, but after that it felt silly.

I wouldn't mind going back to the non-golden veto, either.

Even if they don't make any huge changes to the veto I really wish they would get rid of the ball bag and use another method of player selection - something that cannot be rigged. The spinning wheel was good when they first had it, but I'm guessing they went for the ball bag because it was more easy for them to rig - why else do they not allow HGs to look inside to see what balls are actually in there?

The veto is necessary to keep the show from becoming boring and predictable, but yes, back dooring is a bad side effect for sure. I say go back to having everyone play veto, it will produce more outcomes, reducing how many times scumbaggging will actually occur.

Veto Wheel is a great idea!!

Re: Screw the veto!

The only solution is adding a Veto Wheel! It would make things waaaaaaaay more unpredictable, and you would be taking a risk by nominating 2 pawns because the wheel might not land on golden/diamond veto, so people wouldn't automatically use the "backdooring" option all the time.

That basically screws over any chance of a minority alliance taking out the majority. Take BB6 for example: if two of the friendship had been nominated and one of them had won veto, they'd use it and nominate one of the Sovs in their place and then vote them out, which means that the Sov who won HoH accomplished nothing.

True. Didn't think of that.

Three noms, one automatically off would be great.

I'd love to see one week where everybody noms two people except for the HOH. Two with most noms go on the block, HOH decides who goes home between them. It would get old and people would get mad at the HOH every week, but it'd be a good change of pace for a short time.

Keep HoH.
Nominate three people.
Everyone plays in Veto. One person is saved no matter what.
Houseguests voted between the two remaining nominees.

It would make the game much more interesting, IMO.

Am I the only one who liked it way better in BB2 when there was no veto? Two people nominated, both had to fight and campaign to stay. No backdooring, no plan B, no thinking 15 steps ahead of time. It made for a much mroe direct game. And that's when you could see pure strategists like Dr. Will who got nominated 14 times and went on to win the game despite the fact that he had a 50/50 shot of leaving everytime.

I'm fucking sick of backdooring! the whole concept of nominating...
