But the American audience have much lower expectations than ours, and it isn't seen as trashy, gutter TV or chav TV over there. Over here there is a stigma attached to watching the show, something you'll never truly understand unless you live here. BBUK got out of hand during BB7 when they kept trying to give the public more and more, until they reached the level where they can't shock us anymore. Plus it got over exposed and by the next celeb series, noone was watching it (the ratings were down before the race row). The race row couldn't have come at a worse time for BB, so noone cared for BB8 because of all the negativity around it and it had to be censored so it looked even weaker. BB7 left them with no option but to recycle twists which made it even worse. BBCH was full of false promises and never materialised, BB9 was an odd blip and promising return to form but CBB6 was awful, ratings fell through the floor then even worse for BB10 which just had a very dodgy launch. Thats why BBUK is in the state its in, whilst BBUSA is still going strong. BBUSA haven't made themselves creatively bankrupt and haven't had their show dogged by a controversy for 3 years that pretty much castrated the show.
If they wanted to keep BB what they should have done was pushed BB8 back a year with a full scale relaunch, and leaving Celebrity Big Brother in the history books. Hijack could've become its replacement on Channel 4 with a few tweaks.
