..But no. One or two times, fair enough - but other countries, CONSTANTLY copy Big Brother UK in the most blatant ways now.
When we copy other countries like Australia or America, we do it with tasks [White Room] or Twists [Head of House] - we don't ******ing decide to base our house design and graphics on the exact replica of another country.

In saying that, I actually like that version of the eye better than our's LOL.
Can't really complain about people "copying" our eye - it's an international format and in recent years first the C4 eye then the C5 eye seems to have overtaken the classic Big Brother logo as the look of the show internationally.

Most international formats share the same look around the world - Big Brother was actually rather unique in that originally most countries did their own thing (though we were the first to break away from the logo and theme tune), but it does seem that in the last couple of years new and revived versions are basically taking an entire package of graphics and format and just adding their own housemates.
