I wish they would do something in the house to be of service to the community. They could assemble or build something in the backyard (to be moved out), or put together care packages to benefit a shelter or a kids' program or something. I think this cast especially would love to do something like that. Kind of like how on Survivor one of the rewards is sometimes going to a nearby town and doing something to benefit the people there.

Yes! Great way to spend all the down time, especially on lock-in days. It could be used as the weekly luxury/have-not competition. Whomever makes/does the most/least gets rewarded or punished accordingly.
I mean, ideally they'd do it with generous hearts, but yeah, whatever it takes lol

Sam would 100% appreciate this. She'd make 10,000 a day.
She'd love it. It would be so great if they got to read information about the group they were serving and see pictures of them so they could feel the connection between what they're doing and who they're doing it for - and then if they got to meet them at the end of it. I bet it would inspire them to go on and do more things like that. Just seems like a great way to make meaning out of a summer where they just sat around sunning themselves, gossiping, and obsessing about a game (which I think is all part of the game, too!).
I liked the idea until you said all this.
The whole point of the show/experience is to be disconnected from the outside world. I am all about them doing some sort of project inside the house but they don't need to know anything absolutely not needed :) until after the show.
I don't think they should be interacting with them until after the show either. I didn't say otherwise. When it's introduced to them they could learn who they were doing it for, in order to make it more personal/meaningful, but only when it's introduced.
They could Knit baby caps or winter hats
They could knit baby clothes for Swaleigh’s new baby
Or socks for house elves.
Live feeders would be pissed since no game talk and no hot girls in bikinis
They could do it in bikinis
It could be limited to a specific time of day, or something that's ongoing that they can work on whenever they want, with whomever they want
It would be awesome to watch them present it to whomever they did it for
This would be a win-win. I'd get so bored if I was in that house.
So i run service projects for middle schoolers and the easiest one is to take plastic cutlery and roll it in a napkin and tie with ribbon. That could easily be a have not comp and something that can be done in small groups, whatever. The rolls go to the local soup kitchen.
Sam is that you?
I wish they would let them get hammered every night but I feel ya.
Call me when the HOH can get a fat blunt to smoke during noms
