I'm certainly willing to compromise on the implementation of a US format, I've said that many times on here and Big Brother Canada has in its first two seasons adapted their format and effectively made their own version in its own right with more public involvement. I accept that the public need to be involved in the UK and I don't really see that as a bad thing (well, I do, but if it were limited it'd be better), I just think we should take some ideas from the US

My idea for a compromised format has always been something like:

HoH competition, the winner nominates three housemates
Power of Veto competition. Everyone takes part, if a nominee is saved then the HoH names a replacement
The public saves one of the nominees and then the house votes to evict one of the remaining two
Last six housemates evicted make up the jury along with the UK being the 7th jury vote to decide the winner out of the final two

The public vote could even come in the form of letting them choose the HoH each week, which would be even more control. And as Sam suggested in a post above, I would even be open to a format where the HoH nominates one person and then the rest of the house nominate as normal but personally I've become really tired of BBUK nominations and I don't get why people fawn over them. They're almost never funny anymore, the reasons are crap and they manipulate the results all of the time. You need a cast like BB6 or 7 to make nominations in BBUK worthwhile
