Changes to Sunday Format

BB has felt the ratings dive for the first Sunday Eviction, and producers have started reworking the format of the Live Eviction show for this week. Ads airing now are vague about the changes, but promise "You won't know who is evicted until the very end". Well, wasn't that one of the problems? That the evictee was announced too late and there was hardly any time for an on-stage interview.

Main complaints have been:

• Little interaction with the hosts and live audience for most of the show
• The voting process is too slow
• The Eviction Revolver took away the surprise of the eviction for both the HMs and the audience
• The on-stage interview was too short

It is probably too late now to change the nomination/eviction process for the year. The only way they could do this without Kyle and Jackie available Monday nights to host would be to go back to the BB01 style of pre-recording the nominations during the day and airing the highlights during the Daily Show.

Anyway, I don't think there is anything wrong with the new process, as it will see the boring or inconsequential HMs evicted first. It has already delivered one of the most boring HMs from the House.

But one rumour that is going around is Gretel's famous catchphrase "It's time to go" will make its return this weekend.

Looking forward to seeing how the changes improve the pacing and suspense.
