As if

Mind you if it meant they had to drop the public vote I'd be all for it

May as well watch paint dry, all the big characters will leave one after another

Netflix would do so well with a show you could watch daily. I think most would subscribe as it is only about £7 a month.

You mean like what already happens on BBUK? :joker: and since when have you cared about big characters anyway?

You don't even watch BBUS so you have no idea whether that's true or not, and I can tell you it isn't. With certain exceptions, most seasons have entertaining and rootable housemates left in the endgame, and I like more BBUS winners than I do ours. More than anything though even if they do leave one after other, at least it's their own fault and not the clueless public's - who want to evict people for daring to speak in an episode, or for having the audacity to be a woman.

Scrapping the public vote would be a disaster.

The public vote is a disaster, why can't people see that?

If it's moving online it's not like it's gonna make the blindest bit of difference. Plus idk the logistics of holding a televote through an online streaming service anyway

But when they give the vote to housemates it is even worse sooo

The UK and American version are the same show only by name, I don't know why anyone would want the UK to be more like that.

.

Regarding the official viewing figures, I think 1.3 million is pretty good, as it's not a show that a lot of people will admit to watching.

I'd say the figure is closer to about 5 million. ;)

Again, I didn't know you both watched BBUS? If you're on about when they do a house vote on BBUK as part of some tacky twist, of course it doesn't work because at no point has said evictee been given the opportunity to save themselves, which is part and parcel of the US format.

Because the US (or rather the Canadian) version of the show is far superior to our flailing one.

But like.. you're the only person who actually wants the US format. Even other BBUS viewers on here don't want it which should tell you that's it's really not what fans of the show actually want at all and considering how you keep saying the thing the producers need to do is listen to the fans well...

Here for the old lady demographic not being able to vote because they don't know how to access Netflix or Amazon online :clap1:

I mean I've already given up on BBUK having not watched the past two seasons and I can't say a change to the US format would entice me back, probably push me away further tbh

Because it would be in the UK...?

Drag them!

There's a massive chance of a live feed tko

I watched the first two weeks of this year's BBCAN, actually. It wasn't my cup of tea at all. :)

One of the many reasons the US format wouldn't work here is that the housemates would just vote out people that get on their tits (aka the entertaining people) rather than thinking about it strategically, unless they cast 16 "gameplayers" like Dexter and Aaron Allard-Morgan which I don't really want to watch.

Americans are fake and 2 faced so that version suits them Brits are known to say it as it is and be real

Exactly. I just don't think they'd be able to cast the right people for it to work.

Yes there are some absolute trash public vote results but my point is if the housemates voted people out it would be even worse.

I actually have watched series with the BBUS format so don't assume things please. I watched BBCAN4 which I actually enjoyed but that was just because of Nikki, Loveita and Cass. The format really wasn't my cup of tea, I enjoyed it for what it is but I don't want BBUK to become like that. I tried watching a bit of this years BBCAN as well but I couldn't get into it.

But to appeal to overseas viewers, they wouldn't want to brand it as UK only.

It's mainly CBB that the public make terrible voting decisions on tbh. The only dodgy one (that had an affect on the show) that I can think of is Helen winning the entire thing.

I think what he's meaning is that it would be on Netflix UK only.
