Although the Public Vote is far from perfect it's always better than alliances of ****heads running the evictions from the inside!!!!!

Two seasons out of fifteen isn't really much of a reason to criticise the US format. You win some, you lose some, but at least it's fair (the people that live there voting is indisputably fairer than those who don't and only see an hour a day voting) and the better and more interesting format. I'd say there's been more series or BBUK with terrible eviction orders than there has been in BBUS, and the public are to blame for that. At least if your favourite goes out across the pond it's because they didn't play well enough (or on occasion rigging wasn't in their favour), not because the cat ladies didn't get wet over them

You'd just have a rolling vote to save across the series and you could even have weekly updates to see how people are doing, it'd be a massive competition amongst fans and I reckon revenue would be pretty high as well. Then on finale night you'd announce the top five in no particular order, evict the rest and then have a quick chat with each of them when they're sat in the evicted housemates seats that they have on the set. Then carry on as normal
At least it'd stop good characters leaving early, one thing is for sure the show would never be dull or quiet
In fact I think an amazing experimental series of Big Brother or a show of a similar kind (I think they may have done one before but idk) would be to stick sixteen people in a house and tell them they decide when they leave by pressing a panic button and the last person to leave wins £1m. Now that's a social experiment, but I digress

I actually think it would! There's a reason the early weeks of most series are the best and then it quietens down and gets duller and you get complaints from fans of different housemates. If everyone stayed until the end everyone's favourites would be there, the house would constantly be buzzing, there'd be more time for storylines to develop and as I said I think with that many people you'd be bound to get one massive argument/fight midway through
