Err...everyone's opinions on a forum are selfish. That's kind of what subjectivity is.
Why on earth would I say we should stick with BBUK's format when I believe it to be inferior - just because a bunch of people I've never met disagree? If I believe the show would be enchanced by adopting it, of course I'm going to say so
I really have no idea why people get so outraged over this. I and everyone else knows it will never actually change because BBUK's producers are nowhere near intelligent, daring or innovative enough to trial it, so why does anyone care if someone types some text on a screen saying it should?

I personally don't find people like Perez Hilton or Marc (two of which I'm sure you find brilliant and entertaining housemates) particularly that interesting or entertaining and I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me on that one. Yes, they got a lot of airtime and they're both the most talked about people of their series but so what? Quality > Quantity.
Your idea of merit seems to stem from how much airtime a particular person gets as opposed to their personality and likability also being thrown in the mix.

I really don't want to get into another discussion about this in a thread about adopting the BBUS format but I'll just say that talked about housemates are beneficial to the show. Shows like Big Brother thrive off of discussion, discussion leads to attention which in turn leads to a more successful series. It's not so much about airtime and more about contribution. Dare I say that if we followed yours and several other ideas of 'merit' ('likability' lol it's a TV show, I'm not looking for a new best friend) - as BBUK's voters often do - series after series would slowly but surely be destroyed, and they are. So I think the person whose crap idea of what 'merit' constitutes is yours.
As I keep saying, housemates on BBUK for the most part succeed through never speaking or being lucky enough to have a penis. It's counterproductive, requires no skill and the format (especially when it's VTE) only seeks to encourage it. On the other hand the BBUS format rewards success on merit - if you make it far it's through your own doing and your own good social and strategic game, if you are evicted it is largely your own fault and not something arbitrary or moronic like it is on BBUK.
