Would not be interested in any reality show that doesnt have a public vote. It will just be towie with nominations.

[EspeonBB]

I like the different formats between BBUS/BBCAN and BBUK

I wouldn't change it, plus the public wouldn't respond well to a BBUS type show in the UK (see Survivor UK flopping despite it being a huge hit in America)

If BBUK let the HMs discuss nominations and actively play the game, not only would the general public not respond well to it but the HMs really wouldn't know what to do. Just rewatch the first week of BB13 and see how that went.

And even so, if you like the BBUS format just watch BBUS and BBCan. If you like the BBUK format, just watch BBUK and CBB and BBAU I don't think one format is inherently better than the other, but I will say that I think the best seasons of BBUK are better than the best BBUS seasons.

I also think BBCan is growing a little stale and has lost the magic from the first two seasons, but that's for another discussion.

Also bb can barely get 1m views as it is a us format would kill the show.

That's one of the biggest things that has ruined BBUK the last few years, the major **** **** stirring. It's dull and boring watching them have to guess who tweeted what offensive comment, or which person said this over exaggerated thing in their audition interviews, right through to playing diary room conversations etc etc. It's just crap.

[reece(:]

BBUK also doesn't have the budget of BBCan and US

except Maddie. Ugh. No, thank you. She is just pure poison.

But no I rather it be the same. We already have two formats of that and only one of this (we used to have BBAU). And I don't think the UK public would enjoy the HGs evicting each other and having game plays.

[Marsh.]

Just look at the state of the reactions on here when the housemates evicted Danielle and Sam. They'd hate a BBUS format.

I'd usually say that it wouldn't work as brits who go on BB are nowhere near competitive enough for the format to work like americans are although you could say the same about Canadians and their version is even better.

Saying that from BB17 UK I think especially Andrew as well as Hughie, Andy, Natalie and Jayne (The others basically) would actually suit great to the U.S format and remember how they wanted Alex and Jackson out because they were threats? That is a great example of game play that would work if the UK tried it.

[Maxxie.]

They could have something as an online only series or would that be too expensive??

[starry]

Nikki Grahame should have retired after the first series she was on. She was also useless on the Canadian version, having no tactics apart from her one trick of screaming.

It's obvious that things need changing, but with the cheap manipulating on CH5 it wouldn't matter which format as it still wouldn't work.

Totally agree!!!

Nikki is awful and her 'act' is extremely limited and tediously repetitive.
One series of BB with her in it was more than enough for a lifetime.

I watch BB US and BB Canada and while i enjoy them for what they are why would we want a third country using the same format, especially when, when it was done properly, ours was far better (imo).

BB US format in the UK - NO THANK YOU!
Nikki Grahame - NO THANK YOU!

Natalie Rowe is BBUK's very own Danielle Reyes, lets not pretend otherwise

[Mystic Mock]

She means the US format right?

We've already got the Canadians scripted elements and their Showmances.

[Dominic]

No thx

[Yaki da]

As long as this show is on Channel 5 and produced by the people it is, it is beyond recovery.

The first two evictions saw Marco and Natalie lose to Emma and Charlie who was duller in the vote, and have still contributed less to the series despite both lasting significantly longer.

How is that good voting?

[Marsh.]

Marco contributed nothing though?

Tbf Cody got 2nd place in BB16 in the American one because all of the girls fancied him in the house, and Derrick saw him as a Bro.

Same here. I often moan about the viewers voting out entertaining housemates to soon. However a BB without public participation would be one big bore. I would not watch such a BB format.

[Oliver_W]

Is there any reason a brand new show couldn't take the BBCan format, but not be called Big Brother?

He contributed discussion on the Forums for his delusions, his revolting behaviour, and his obsession with BDSM.

Emma and Charlie have given me nothing to want to discuss about them other than what are they still doing there when the public could've just simply voted them off?

Don't get me wrong Marco nor Natalie should've won, but they shouldn't have been the first two that the public voted off.
