And also a lot of the time the people that in the UK house would be detested and evicted early don't always last that long in the US either. Because think about it, if the housemates are in control, you're gonna want to get the annoying people out early before you start targeting actual threats.

Sometimes your favourites do leave before you want them to, but when that happens it's (mostly) because of their own doing. As I said, how far you do or don't get is based upon merit and how well you've played in what is essentially a social game. If you get evicted, as a fan you just have to accept that they didn't play well enough. A game is a game, you win some, you lose some.

It doesnt sound like a terrible idea for the show but i like the bbuk format far much more. The housemates, the nominations and the public evictions are to me, what makes the show great. Channel 5 have already basically scrapped the great housemates and the normal nominations but im still here for the public evictions! I might watch a bbus series one time, but it wouldnt seem like big brother.. The two seem completely different. Does the 'big brother is always watching you' reference even work when theyre not being judged by the public considering there would be no difference if they werent watching?
