At least with BBUS the public get to give somebody money

And Survivor got the viewers to choose an entire cast (not that it turned out well but still)

I actually think the US format during a celebrity series would be hysterical, the thought of Kim winning a Q&A HoH and calling Nicola and Speidi chicken livered ****s as she puts them on the block <3

Many people always say the US format works best when people play personally or indeed don't understand the game, CBB would be that all over

I don't think the public would be here for it. There's always people complaining when they do an eviction without a public vote so I don't think they would like a full series of it

No we don't, it's fine how it is.

Never watched Can/US but I'm under the impression that it's dangerous, ganghanded awful housemates. BB15 and BB13 would be ruled by the insiders/cool kids. :yuck:

BB13 was awful as it was, but imagine how even more tragic it would have been under USA rules, Conor, Luke S, Aaron, Ashleigh and Caroline would have been the top 5, no-one needs that.

But Channel 5 literally only runs it for the voting money so it's unlikely :/

not sure how they do it in usa - but it has to be better then the way we do it - our way is dyer.

They all accused Kim of game playing so I think she still would have been an early boot.
