That's why they're so different.

I watch to see all of their interactions, house dynamics. I couldn't care less about the prize fund/winner etc.

Well technically it is a gameshow, it has a cash prize at the end of it...it's just not as clear cut a game-format and people are chastised if they 'play the game' which is so unbelievably dumb.

Should BBUS adopt the UK format considering they've been going about 18 years too?

BBUS began its first season with public voting, it failed and so they looked to Survivor's success and changed the format accordingly. The world owes a lot to Richard Hatch

Unsurprisingly that's another deliberate misrepresentation and exaggeration of how I choose to support people by someone on this forum, but it figures.

It is true, the stats speak for themselves. Liam, JJ, Andrew, Mario, Dave, Alex, Sam, Pav, Chris, Ash and Cristian all made the final or won through either never speaking a word, being a man or being attractive - to varying degrees. It's the easiest road to success on pretty much any reality show in existence, if I was cast as a housemate all I'd have to do is just get on with everyone, never say anything or make any waves and I'd probably make the final not only is that laughable, it's also counter productive, you are encouraging people to do nothing. At least in Canada and the US people have earned their place

Oh it's definitely a part of the reason, I've always made that abundantly clear. The public are clueless and ruin series after series with their sexist, idiotic voting patterns. The show would be a lot better off without their involvement, perhaps if they weren't so bad it would be different but they aren't. It's not THE only reason though, I just think the US format is fairer, purer and more interesting
