It'd be a nice change of pace (if it did come back) if it was somewhat americanized for a season where it aired maybe every other day and had more of a gameplay aspect to it. To me it'd be pretty cool to see how the housemates would adjust to that type of series, at least just for one season.

I agree with this to some extent - that BB UK is overexposed. The majority of HMs are either stereotypes or 1 dimensional 'freaks' that have no depth because of what Ch4 allowed to be broadcast. And the spin-off shows are just as gimmicky and overexposed. If BB became more adult oriented again and had the balls to allow arguments to escalate just a bit more and portray a bit mroe nudity and not overdo the spin-offs with 'whacky' features, maybe that would work. Even when Russell did Big Mouth 3/5 (however many) nights a week it was whacky but more adult.

I quite liked the montages used for CBB7, BB11 and UBB because it freshenned it up a bit and wasn't so 'Americanised'. It was plain and simple music during tasks that gave it a bit more pace.

I'm a bit cautious about the idea of airing eps every other day. In BB3 and 4 it was still on 7 nights a week with Saturday being a live task rather than a highlights show and Sunday's hour long ep covering the highlights from Friday and Saturday - which worked. It wasn't so gimmicky, it was more factual and adult. However, BB8 had NO Saturday shows and also tried to fit the highlights from Friday and Saturday in to an hour long Sunday show which failed miserably because everything was so overexposed. I remember one Sunday show started moments before a HM's eviction (think it was BB8's Nicky) so just think how much footage happened that day that was never broadcast.
