its funny how you mention how the strategic format aka bb chess style would just cancel out the entire premise of big brother because 25 years ago back in season 1 when bb usa 1st started and did the old school style they had low ratings and really bad reviews but then when season 2 came along cbs broke the bb traditions and changed its entire format and style of big brother into what i would call it the chess style and since then bb usa had good reviews and high ratings

althought over the years bb usa had its up and down ratings and at the same time had its good and or bad reviews but during all the ups and downs bb usa is still was going strong and never got axed

Sometimes just a break is all that's needed. But switching to a strategic format just cancels out the entire premise of Big Brother anyway.
