Could Big Brother (international) work online?

Not sure if this is the right way to put it, people in these games have said no because the whole voting thing wouldn't work because people watching could figure out who is who.

But I'm wondering if Big Brother with international rules could work if it had slightly strict rules like taking on a new persona and it being a rule that you couldn't discuss anything previous about you or even act much like yourself. Even punishing or evicting houseguests who somehow revealed themselves.

For instance you sign up to play and whoever the host is would give you your picture (and not any previous reality star or celebrity) on the starting day and you went along creating your own sort of character.

Then either have lurkers who would either base their opinions on what they saw in the game or even get a group of people to sign up and read a daily highlights email. This group would vote each week based on nominations of those in the house (the people in the group would also be a secret to each other as well).

Plus then have tasks and other things just like a Big Brother season would have, and maybe have it for about a month.

I know I would die to play a Big Brother UK version online and would host it myself if I new how to set up those fancy boards you all use. Just wondering what others think though.

It could work with ezboard. Someone from FGC (his eznic is Gold Thai) hosts Big Brother games on ezboard and has a huge as hell viewers lounge.

It's possible but you would need a very large audience for it to work properly.

That would be fun. The viewers would have to be n00bz to our games, though.

I'm not offended, I just wanted a discussion about it. It would be a huge thing to undertake and a lot of things would have to fall into place.

I think if it was hosted on one of the current splinter boards then you already got an audience. Then it's up to the host to find the players to actually post there. Using AIM could be an option.

Popular posters will leak their identities, resulting in mass votes for them and an automatic final 2.

You're right. It could change the outcome of the game, but Gold Thai's games have usually had the same handful of people playing over and over and they still haven't won once. So who knows, it could work if given the right audience.

This right here is pretty much the EXACT thing Remote thinks would happen.

Either that or a nonpopular poster would get their name leaked and get targeted and removed.

Or also, that somebody would figure out a lurker while still in the game and get votes their way.


This idea is fun and lord know I've wanted to do it but it just seems impossible when you can't truly lock people up for months on end and have a game.
