Yes it's still on air but the show is still dead because it's gone against what the whole show is about. It's not big brother anymore it's a C5 version of the only way is essex and a sparkle of Geordie Shore and some bits of Made in Chelsea. Civilian BB is no more since they are turning it into Celebrity Big Brother and then we will have another CBB straight afterwards.

Yes, but my whole point is that to remedy this, they should take it back to what it used to be. How would completely changing the entire format of the show be doing anything other than turning BBUK into a shadow of it's former self even more than it already is?

plus the fact adopting the US format isn't going to stop them getting the usual z listers involved

It's neither pedantic nor irrelevant but whatever you say.

Because the UK format is terrible and it gets terrible each year. It's never going to go back to what it was so a change of format won't hurt a dead end show. It's going to get axed either way because people are so bored of this crap. The uk format is beyond repairing. I prefer the that format too because the public have no power so they can't discriminate/be prejudice.

It's not beyond repairing, they just choose not to. It's very simple to return the show to what it was. It just sounds like you wouldn't even want that because you've become so biased towards the US format.

And what about seasons like BB15 that are full of bigotry and nastiness and then the final two consists of two of those involved? At least with the UK format the public might have a chance to get them out (whether they do or not is another matter).

Yes it is beyond repairing nothing can save it because it's too late/Brian. you can't bring back a dead person can you? BBUK is a dead show. I would like it back but it's never ever ever ever ever going to happen.

BB15 is one of the worst BBUK seasons which slightly killed the show by giving Helen a final pass and then they took away the power from people. Helen and Ashleigh only got votes because of the producers manipulating viewers. Jack_ being an Helen fan back then will also say this too. As I said before white males/females mainly males have it easy on the show. Where it's a different story for POC females.

Luke, taking a show back to it's roots and bringing back dead people aren't really the same thing.

I was referring to BB15 US.

Would they cast the same kinds of people for a BBCan/BBUSA type format? When I think of the auditions on YouTube, I think two I know of who said they'd been called seemed like the standard C5 "I'll have sex in the house and tell it like it is."

Not that such people can't be competitive m
