those people who want the US format just stop watching BBUK perhaps?

Cause BBUK is its own format and not to mention BBUSA makes C5 BB look like BBUK3. BBUSA looks tacky as ****.

I'm not going to stop watching a show I've invested ten years of my life in I will see this through to its very end, no matter what it's like

There are countless reasons why the UK format sucks and needs overhauling and BBUS may be tacky (although I'm pretty sure you've never watched it) but even Grodner's manipulation and messy scripted DR's don't come anywhere close to Marcus' shouting, NOW 93 over tasks, graphics flying all over the place, the latest incarnation of 'here's what this housemate said about you' or the shock suits or 'eat this ****' in an IAC rip off or 'here's a secret room we've invented to keep this person in the house'

People seem to equate US format with US show and that isn't what I'm saying. You can produce a show like BBCan which is far and away the best produced version of Big Brother in the world whilst using another version's format. If Canada can do it so can the UK

Those aren't examples of the UK format though. Those are examples of the UK production.

The UK format is that the housemates nominate 2 of their fellow housemates for eviction and the 2 or more housemates with the most nominations go up and then face the public vote who decide on which one will be evicted that week. The OTT editing/Marcus/music montages aren't part of the format, they're decisions the producers have made. Which is why it's not the UK format that's bad, it's the production. And turning it to the USA format wouldn't magically make the production any better.
