I would add, don't forget about having some fun. This is where the US show has suffered and the Canadian show has pulled ahead recently.
We're well over a month into the game and I think they've shown one Have-Not competition, right at the start. I don't think there's even been ONE "Complete this challenge and win a reward for the house" type things. They're even skipping the person showing off their HOH room now. It's just all game talk and competitions, and it gets boring seeing people just repeat the same things to each other over and over.

Which I'm totally fine with. Get rid of more time sinks like this. That as well as the "tell me why I should use the veto/not vote for you" speeches. Has that ever changed someones decision at the last second? All they are good for is some smack talk which happens rarely.

They only show those speeches during the live shows unless there was a memorable one during POV ceremony. I've got no problem with them during eviction shows, it's a last public statement for whoever gets kicked out.

I don't think they even do have not competitions anymore. I thought the HOH just nominated a couple guys to be the have nots or it's the first few people out during HOH become have nots.
I'm okay with that. Go back and watch old seasons, they spent 10 minutes of air time on those. Way too much time on deciding who eats slop and takes cold showers.
Remember when the show had weekly have not competitions? The last few years you don't even know who's a have not unless it's brought up in conversation.

Muting vote counts would be fun but it almost seems a little unfair to me. The houseguests would have the only real info available to them taken away and we might see even more stupid moves as a result.
Casting needs the biggest change. I still enjoy the show a lot, but it is a little annoying when people are more upset about their showmance or the fame than they are about winning the money.
Ultimately though this is a cheesy, silly reality show that has been successful for CBS every summer and they're not going to change anything, even if there are a hundred things they could do to make it better.

The HoH reveal might be the worst part of the show. I'm fine with the veto speeches and eviction speeches, but I wish more houseguests would have more fun and make a mockery of these things.

Stupid moves would be more entertaining than knowing on Sunday who's getting voted out every week. We all know that unless Frank wins the veto he's done this week just like we knew Tiffany was going to be evicted last week. It's the reason the Thursday show is the worst of the week because they spend the first bit of the episode trying to make viewers think that some in the house are thinking about flipping and then follow with an unanimous eviction that everyone saw coming. Rinse and repeat weekly. It's been a trend for years now that's made the show less interesting especially the deeper it gets into the summer and fall.
Neither am I. I'm just hanging on tbh. I think I was getting bored with BB a couple seasons ago. Tried to watch Survivor for something similar but different, that wasn't any better.
Personally for me, The Amazing Races are much more fun to watch.

Don't know what you're watching there, Survivor was coming off their best season in years(2 seasons ago). The gameplay has evolved as the rules have changed and it's been a great watch. Show is far from slowing down because they find ways to keep it fresh.
Would like Big Brother to find ways as well, and they are trying, but it's not working. The big twists at the beginning of the season should stick for good and not be the predictable stop after 4-5 evictions. I kinda liked the Roadkill comp and would have been cool with that all season. It added paranoia and a new element.
The teams thing was silly and should never be brought back.

It was an attempt to redo season 14 except without the pretense that the coaches weren't players. I liked that season but the returning player mix really really wasn't as good.
I don't like Roadkill and I hope it doesn't come back and I'll tell you why... it makes it easier for the big alliance to dominate. Say someone from a little alliance wins HoH they nominate two folk from the big alliance... the big alliance is then forced to crack and a shake-up can happen in the House dynamic. With Roadkill it gives the big alliance another crack at making a nominee and use numerical superiority to pick them off.
