Just wondering if this is a sort of trial

[Nerd]

I do hope so. But if they're going to go that way next time, they really need to stick to the rules of BBUSA, and not throw in these half-arsed twists. Maybe they should use a shorter CBB to fully test out the HoH, PoV and eviction rules.

[Denver]

you say that like they have never let the housemates decide who goes before

[Jack_]

With any luck eh?

[armand.kay]

I hope not.

[Marsh.]

Not really. They've done it before. It's a channel 5 obsession now.

Along with "secret" rooms, cash give aways and face to face noms.

[MB.]

The HoH room to be revealed post-series a la the BB8 washing machine?

[Jamie89]

Not sure, I don't know if it's so much a trial, as it is a coincidence that the latest twist just happens to resemble the BBUS format. I'd be here for it though, I used to be completely against the idea but I'd like them to at least do one full (or mini) series where they try it out. I don't think you can properly trial something like that in one week.

I want another moment like Kween Maddy's "I'm letting my target be known: Cassandra, your ass is grass"

Stop trying to make the US format happen. It's not going to happen

This can you just watch BBUS and leave the superior format be.

Agreed

^ this

they're literally doing it to get rid of a few housemates at once, they're not planning on changing the entire format of the show IMO

[Raph]

It would make my day if this was the case

I don't understand how it's better, the housemates are the one's who put the big characters up for eviction in the first place. Not having the public vote isn't going to stop that.

Because evictions will then be based on merit, as opposed to because someone dared to speak in an episode or because they're unlucky enough to be a woman.

Evictions don't always go my way under the US format either, but if you are evicted it is generally speaking through your own doing because your social game wasn't strong enough and you underplayed. That is far fairer than whatever bull**** the British voting public come up with as a means to evict you, and I can stomach the losses of my favourites much more.

So by that logic, based on merit the likes of Sam and Alex deserve to be there more because they've played the game better unlike the likes of Andy and Jayne who would be out this week had BB not added some twists in

[Maru]

Please no

[LukeB]

I hope this is the case, I don't really care I just hate the UK format. It's getting awful and I just want to see people win HOH, slit some throats(not actually do that but a BBUSA/CAN fan will know what I'm saying) and make smart moves etc.

Not being funny but if you want to watch the BBUS format, watch BBUS or BBCAN

Of all the arguments that gain traction on here, this is one of the dumbest and I don't know why it keeps being repeated

I do watch BBUS and BBCan and will continue to, but if some people who watch those versions and prefer their format think that BBUK would be better suited to adopting it - they are entitled to say so. Because it would.

It's just a silly argument. If I enjoy a format why wouldn't I want another place to be able to watch it? And one for that matter that I could watch British people competing on and also be given the opportunity to apply for it myself

That's literally like saying "I like coronation street more than eastenders so to improve eastenders they should axe the cast, move the show to Manchester and bring some northerners in because I personally find it more entertaining". Bbus and bbuk are two completely different TV shows
