I like the premise of Big Brother itself and that is why I watch multiple versions. I prefer however the format that is used in the US and Canada and think it should be adopted here because it's superior and would enhance the show and freshen it up. Plus I want to watch Brits playing under that format because I'm pretty sure it would be hilariously messy, and I want to be given an opportunity to apply for it myself

Again, why if I and others like a format that's used on an international incarnation of a global TV show we enjoy, would we not want it used in our home nation's version? Why would we choose to have two versions when we could have three?



It's pointless using the current series under the current BBUK format to speculate about things like that since our version isn't set up properly for people to play games (certainly not ones that require any skill, more counterproductive ones) and in fact they're actively discouraged by both internal house politics and the viewing public. There's no way of telling who would and wouldn't be entertaining under different circumstances, and also I judge people completely differently under UK rules (who contributes the most) compared to US ones (who I subjectively like as people/find entertaining) so such a question can't really be answered

If in an alternative universe these housemates were competing under US rules however and Alex and Sam were playing well enough that they weren't evicted while Andy and Jayne weren't, then yes, that would be based on merit as opposed to whatever BS the public voters had come up with and is far fairer. If they were still dull and outlasted bigger characters then yes I'd still be annoyed as I am now when I watch BBUS and BBCan, but I can stomach their evictions far better because I know for the most part it is their own doing rather than being guilty of something moronic like speaking in an episode or out of their hands like not having a penis

No what's stupid is you wasting your time on one format of a show which you don't favour and know won't change to suit your needs, yet you continue to stick with it and spend hours slating it on a forum (yes it's a BB forum etc etc). BBUK won't adopt the BBUS format. It's been under the same "inferior" format for 17 years now and it's not going to change when the British public are used to it by now - the same way BBUSA won't change its current format as it has been running under the same format for 16 years now.

You've got two shows for your favourite format. If you want gameplay and talk - watch BBUS and Can instead. It's not that hard. Why do you care so much about BBUK adopting a format which is already being used across two different international versions already?

You obviously favour one format more than the other and that's fine but you don't see other people who prefer the UK format forcing BBUSA/Can to go and adopt the BBUK format. It's boring when everything is the same format. That's the thing with Big Brother as a whole, each international version has its own format. If you don't like one particular way of how the show is done, then don't watch it and watch the one you do like. If you watch BBUK because you love the premise of Big Brother then stop moaning when you already have two shows which run under the same format you like.

This BBUK vs. BBUS topic got tired prior to BB17 launching and you're just going to go on expecting.
