Here for Channel 4 picking up the USA format under a different name

[Greg!]

A mixture of both formats would be good for the sake of entertainment and changing it up a bit, but getting rid of the public vote would be awful. I know the public makes a lot of bad decisions in terms of evictions and winners but if the housemates chose who left it would be even worse. Do you really think Kim and Jedward would have made the final in a BBUS format? NO. Of course not

I think that's why it would be good to trial it though, because we don't really know. They could play differently, the housemates might chose who to evict based on reasons other than who they like and dislike, and if it turns out that the entertaining HM's do get evicted first then they could just call it a failed experiment and go back to normal. There's no harm in at least seeing what would happen imo.

And Survivor got the viewers to choose an entire cast (not that it turned out well but still)

[EspeonBB]

I don't think the public would be here for it. There's always people complaining when they do an eviction without a public vote so I don't think they would like a full series of it

[Liam-]

No we don't, it's fine how it is.

Never watched Can/US but I'm under the impression that it's dangerous, ganghanded awful housemates. BB15 and BB13 would be ruled by the insiders/cool kids. :yuck:

[Liam-]

BB13 was awful as it was, but imagine how even more tragic it would have been under USA rules, Conor, Luke S, Aaron, Ashleigh and Caroline would have been the top 5, no-one needs that.

I'd actually love to see it done over here if it was done properly
But Channel 5 literally only runs it for the voting money so it's unlikely :/

not sure how they do it in usa - but it has to be better then the way we do it - our way is dyer.
