Yes - it would be a reason for me to get netflix!

I find with NOWTV and catch up its pretty easy to not need live TV - not ever do I watch BB live - always on catch up and its fine - voting simply might need to be over a week and done via your email address attached to nextflix -

I think it could be a really good move - knowing these pay per view channels - they will make each series EXTRA long.

Anything that goes further to destroying the Tele Tax and advertising Im all for.

When Ben frow talks about his channels integrity when one of the biggest shows on the channel right now is a love island ripoff cwl

I hope Netflix get it as I think they could do something amazing with the series

Out of curiosity how is BBUSA rating these days?

Also I didn't realise bb was filmed at CBS studios ive actually been there. I don't like the fact it's all very enclosed whilst Bbuk has allways been outside personally I would love the original studio back with the bridge and huge crowds it had such an atmosphere.

Series 18 averaged 5.8 which was the lowest ever, the current series is averaging just over 6m which isn't bad but still the lowest after last year. It's been gradually declining since 2011 (8m) but seems to have found a base now

I actually just wikid it and didn't realise how short it was literally some series are only 30 days.

That's just the number of episodes. :laugh: BBUS only have three shows a week, unlike BBUK where it's daily. Their seasons are 13 weeks long nowadays.

The UK format has always been every night. Another reason a strategy-based show wouldn't work here. Imagine the complaints if Channel 5, or whoever, said they were only going to do 3 episodes a week.

I don't think there's any reason why a switch to the US format would mean you have to reduce the number of episodes too. Three episodes a week works in the US and Canada because they act as roundups of what's been happening on the integral part of the show - the live feeds, with each episode themed around one of the competitions/eviction.

In fact, keeping a daily show with a change of format would allow you to flesh the characters out more and mean that the entire show doesn't have to revolve around strategy, you could still show regular conversations just as much.

Here for it.

CH5 have ruined this show. This years normal BB was terrible to the point I stopped watching it. Something which has never happened. I would love to see another channel pick this up and hopefully refresh the format.
