I would be ok with having the BBUS format throughout the week like the HOH, PoV etc (but keep the shopping task, I hate the have/have not system) and then at the end of the week once nomination are in place then a public vote to decide who goes, a bit like James said above. I just reckon the show needs a bit of a change now, all these silly face to face noms and pointless twists week in week out just to try and get enough footage to compose the highlights episodes are getting a bit boring to me, it could do with a shake up. Making the show a little more strategic like the game show it ultimately is could do it some good.

The problem is though that if you're going to let the public have the ultimate say in deciding who gets evicted then implementing the rest of the process is essentially pointless, you can't play a game if people on the outside are deciding who goes, it doesn't work. You can implement a public vote to save people before the eviction vote (like I suggested: three noms by the HoH, public saves one, housemates vote from the remaining two), that'd add an extra interesting element to make the game harder, but if you're going to do HoH, PoV and have strategy talks all week to try and target people only to have the public decide who goes, it renders the whole thing a waste really.

As for the bit in bold, I actually think we should adopt slop right away and I think it's one part of the US format people in the UK wouldn't mind so much. You can still have shopping tasks, but split them into groups so that one half is on luxury and the other is on slop. Basic rations are boring and the producers are always seeking drama so a divide in who has food will almost definitely provide it week on week.
