If this is the last civilian series I'd much rather watch all civilians under a good consistent format than celebrities getting involved in whatever messy remains of a format we have now.

why do you want it to be the same as the US version though Jack, you can already watch that version so wouldn't it be better to have the UK following different rules?

Because it's a better format, the UK one sucks and rewards housemates on no merit whatsoever (just for being men, attractive, never saying a word or a combination of these) whereas the US one does, it's more consistent than whatever nonsense we have for a format now and I want to see British people playing their format (I think it would be messy as hell and thus entertaining) and be given the opportunity to do myself (as unlikely as it may be). The list goes on

For all the reasons I just listed! that's what you asked

I never understand this argument of 'well you already have this there', well yeah...and it's better, so let's have it here too. The more the merrier as the saying goes

Exactly.

And I don't think it is a better format. BBUK has been abysmal in recent years with the nominations tampering but when they just leave it alone and let weekly nominations run normally, the BBUK format is miles better imo.

Also, I think it would be a shame if the US format started to become more commonplace since the "housemates nominate / public evict" thing was how Big Brother as a format was born in the first place.
