BB going back to basics?
 

Big Brother has been on air for ten years, and it seems this year Big Brother is going back to it's roots.

I've noticed that this year some of the larger more popular versions of Big Brother are returning to a more "back to basics" style with less big twists and instead allowing the housemates be themselves.

Last year in UK, we had a BB full of gimmicks and so many twists and it ruined the series. it was so hard to get the know he housemates because we were meeting new ones every two weeks. This year BB seems to have taken a back seat, IMO and besides from the 'zero tolerance' and the divide (which we saw in BB3) I think this years BB has resembled one of the earlier BB rather then BB7-onwards.

Also in USA, they have also returned to having complete strangers in the house rather then couples/relatives etc, which they have had since BB4. The producers have even commented on the "back to basics" style and it's rumored that this series the public will chose the winner. The winner of BBUSA has not been chosen by the public since the first series back in 2000.

BB Australia has experimented with outrageous twists, and celebrity guests for the past two series now in order to increase ratings. But it failed. Looking at fourms, it looks like the BBAU fans are calling out for a back to basics BB. The channel that airs BBAU axed the show this year, but other networks may pick it up and air it next year and one network considering it have been quoted as saying "it needs to go back to basics in order to survive".

I think people have grown up with Big Brother now, and are now too familiar with the outragous stunts and are always trying to second guess BB. It would seem now returning back to basics, is the biggest twist of all.

Grrr! You're sig has a spoiler in it! Some people have to rely on YT to watch BBAU!

I have always been against the show going back to basics but it is the best thing which could of happened because when we have a twist in BB10/BB11 its going to have a huge impact both on the housemates and the viewers like during BB5/BB6.
I like it back to basics but it there is always a risk with this approach because the housemates have to be perfect for it to work, BB4 was an example when wrong casting with this approach turned into a disaster
The UK and USA versions have been changed around over the years and I think going back to basics is the best way forward for both versions. BB Australia has gone the other way and got axed it. Lets hope these series of both the UK and USA version turn out to be one of the best yet

Dont look at his Sig?
LOL
:P

How was I suppose to know that it would include it?

I do apologise, but I did assume as it was the final of one of the biggest Big Brothers, that is quite popular on these forums that if somebody did not want to know the result they would either not not come online or switch off sigs in their control panel.

It's ok I guess. Tbf tho, seen as there is only one thread on BBAU on here I assumed that it would be safe to come on here without risking finding out! I mean I pretty much figured she would win anyway!

BB8 was completely ruined by all the pathetic, stupid twists. Halfway House was the worst BB moment ever. Fake Week? I mean wtf.

BB9 has been brilliant because its so simple, and I am guessing its going to have a big massive twist and be amazing. Just like BB5.
