I doubt he could even spell it.

It's the closest to BDSM that Big Brother is ever going to reach is what I mean and it created topics on the Forum which as a fan I enjoy, wtf in particular has Emma given us?

It gave you topics about what his girlfriend posted on twitter, whether nipple sucking made other housemates uncomfortable and whether or not Marco was having some kind of breakdown or was born mentally retarded.

All contributing to one of the worst series of BB ever aired.

How is that good voting?

I for one like Emma and Charlie a lot more than I liked Marco and Natalie

You're talking about likability though, that's irrelevant when watching a TV Show.

It's like watching Game Of Thrones and wanting the Lannister's off the screen before the story calls for it just because they're not "nice" but they're sure as hell more entertaining than a lot of the other characters on the show and it would be duller if they went before the show ended.

I'm pretty certain by "like" Macie was referring to which ones he enjoyed watching. I.e. which ones entertain him.

Also, the people in Big Brother are real people. Comparing it to enjoying evil characters in a show about dragons isn't really relevant.

It's entirely relevant because I'd much rather watch Emma and and Charlie than Marco and Natalie.

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

[_Tom_]

They can keep it.

[Merry Mockmas]

But yeah I think even most Marco detractors wouldn't say that he had no personality whatsoever, otherwise there wouldn't have been people disliking him so badly like he was the male Helen Wood otherwise.

If Helen wood was the first evictee from BB15 the series would of been a lot more better fact.

Now that's too soon.

Looking back on it Helen should've been evicted the week Matthew went as she'd achieved all of her best stuff at that point, and anything after that was just repetitive and not as good as her first 3 to 4 weeks imo.

On the Marco/Natalie thing, I thought Natalie was better and very different to him. Marco thought entertainment was about sex, which was boring. Natalie just got the standard bad edit. Only later did we see that all the other HMs were annoyed with Jayne and the cleaning, only later did we see that Hughey likes to bring up and continue arguments.

And I don't think the problem with BBUK is the format, the problem is the manipulation and what's been done with the format (z-listers dominating). Being progressive and making it vote to save like the Australian version could work too.

The US version can work well, but can work poorly when it's too manipulated. As seen with the teams this year, put in just to keep the vets in longer. When you have one side controlling the house it gets boring.

its kind of funny the US started a couple weeks before the UK did but US changed the format to what is now the next year. it just didnt work. i like a few BB for different reasons and dont really favor one over the other since in some years i liked a US/UK/CUK/AU/CA season better than one of the others in the same year. it just depends. sadly for me the worst US & UK seasons happened in the same summer which was also the last year UK had feeds. that was dreadful. the only way i wouldnt mind UK adopted the US is if it was a one off but not forever changed as this is the only one (plus celeb) that does it the way they do that i watch now since AU was canned. though the public vote overall is terrible.

[Eosvox]

As an American, let me just say that I much prefer the UK rules..I have tried to watch a few different series but rarely do i stick with them..I rather like that the housemates can plan, and execute anything they like, but ultimately it comes down to the public's feelings on them as to if the stay or go..
