No you're mistaking the UK's own format for the concept and premise of Big Brother itself which is to lock a bunch of strangers in a confined house and watch them 24/7 (which the UK doesn't even have anymore but Canada and the US do, it figures) - that is what I fell in love with. Variations of the format are completely irrelevant, I enjoy Big Brother because of what it is, but having seen two variations of the way it is carried out, I now prefer the US one

Okay then let me address the issues I hate that the UK's format brings about too:

1) The public more often than not ruin the show. They don't have a clue what they are doing

2) In addition, I actually think having viewer influence takes away from what people like to laud as the ~social experiment aspect~. Leaving the housemates to their own devices and house politics is far more interesting and true to that mantra

3) The UK's nomination format is vastly overrated sorrynotsorry. For it to be interesting it requires the casting team to strike gold with a group like BB6...that doesn't happen often. I find it boring a lot of the time

4) BBUK's format requires no kind of skill or effort, you can literally float through the series or even win the ****ing thing without even moving a muscle. This is of course largely due to the public's appalling voting patterns but it's still ****. Nothing is based on merit, in BBUK you can achieve success or last the duration just by virtue of you being an attractive straight white male. The US format on the other hand rewards you through your own doing, you are (admittedly manipulation aside) in charge of your own destiny so to speak. That is far more fair that you're evicted through your own fault and lack of game than it is because you're a woman or actually dared to speak in an episode

Again, you're equating US format with US show which is not what I'm saying. No you're right it wouldn't automatically make it better and they need to take inspiration from BBCan on production values but what it most definitely would do is revitalise my interest and love for BBUK since I prefer that format. The production may still be tacky as hell but at least there won't be all the other things about the UK's format I hate ruining the show

LMAO have you forgotten about BBUK's casts?! They are just as bad. Big Brother is trash TV everywhere in the world, let's not get snobby
