This isn't a bad thing.

I feel if It moved to Netflix they would rename it Big Brother World and have contestants from all over the world competing in a US style format.

I doubt this would happen. They'd just restrict the show to the UK region so only we could watch it.

This can mean Ultimate BB 2 instead of summer CBB...which is amazing news tbh

I don’t Netflix would work well for Big Brother

Well that would be a total turn off - bloody world does not revolve around 'netflix' or does it ?

Oh I agree I don't think they care about the format at all (my two comments were separate), but the message is basically 'it's not continuing as it is' and that goes just beyond small production level decisions

They probably want its hours cut significantly

Hmm the US format could be a way of them cutting hours actually as they'd only need to air it a few times a week

Good point! I love it when a plan comes together :smug:

It’s not going to be 7 nights a week I’m assuming

It's returning to the basic Ch4-style editing maybe?

But then the BBUS format needs live feed more than the UK format for that same reason.

Imagine having just the heavily edited episodes focusing on all the game talk and nothing else.

They’ll probably just make it more Geordie Shore - esque :skull:

Hope this means only ONE celeb series :fc:

It's C5 so we will get an hour of booze filled fun and social game so by time Eviction comes around we have no idea who's aligned and who's going because there was no game talk.

Axe it.

I don't like the American format.. I find it too fake... A bit more like Jerry springer and less like normal people living normally . But i would love to see more Americans in the house... I love the English format series 5-10 but American and English and Australian contestants... I would like them to join or swap at pionts ...

I also think it should not be longer than 50 days.... It gets boring after that but if they have a smaller budged next year... Maybe they should combine the celibrity version with the civilian... So the cilivan runs for 50 days but as the days go on, people get eveticed and the remaining 6-7 cilivans go on to compete against the celibrities...

The fact it's no more than 60 days is one lf the worst parts of the show now.

Pretty sure I read the budget will be alot lower too. I recon it will go geordie shore style with just a normal house somewhere and not the studio we have now.

As for the format itself I have no idea what they could do unless they make it a dating show or something along the lines of love Island. I'm not even kidding I could actually see c5 doing that. Make or break style lol

I’m all here for the idea of a North American format. It could attract more fans of BBUS and BBCAN who don’t watch BBUK...

Though am against the Netflix idea, especially restricting it to the UK.

What about international viewers, me included. :(

The last 2 times they aired BBUS in the UK they flopped and hardly anybody watched

Because they were aired on E4...

Plus 9 isn’t a good BBUS season to get new viewers introduced in the format tbh...

I've never seen the USA version, I really need to watch it. I've heard from a few people on twitter though that it is a better format then the UK.
