It doesn't need to be the same it needs to go back to the glory days, I don't expect it to get as high as ratings as Channel 4 but I think it will get great ratings for Channel 5, don't get me wrong it might be just as good or better but I don't think it's going to change drastically, it will be new with the familiar, it will have the same house, varying housemates and tasks, the only thing I'm bothered about it the editting behind the scenes. If they edit it in a way like The Only way is Essex or the American Big Brother I'll be pissed.
I always liked the rawness of the earlier series and then as the series went on the edits started to effect who stayed in and who went out only showing you one side of an argument or being afraid to get too controversial, with Desmond at the helm we know that this version won't be afraid to show nudity or fighting atleast.
