Anyone going in to this revival thinking ITV plan to produce a carbon copy of the show as it was on Channel 4 are going to be disappointed.

ITV have made it clear in their press release that while they want to bring back a level of authenticity and respect for the fundamental principles of BB they do plan on updating the show for 2023.

The basic pillars such as nominations, evictions, tasks, and public input will all be there but will be refreshed and new twists will be introduced that speak to a modern audiences.

You do realise they have already confirmed live Evictions that Viewers will have a say in?

Live evictions but they did not confirm the public would choose who goes. You just read what was said and saw what you wanted it to say.

The action will all play out under the roof of the iconic Big Brother house, which will be given its own contemporary new look ready for this reimagining of the show. Clever tasks, nail-biting nominations and live evictions will be back, with the public once again playing a crucial role, voting throughout the series and ultimately determining the winner, who will walk away with a life changing cash prize.

The public vote throughout the series playing a crucial role is NOT a confirmation that the public will choose who goes. It’s so vague that it could mean anything.

it's 2023 so the show has to reflect what works for that audience

You might as well just watch the American one, that’s hardly a hybrid

Our version doesn’t need the strategic element at all

We as a country don't even like that stuff, it shows with how the most poper RTV shows in history all and the public making the decisions

I disagree. Australians used to say the same thing prior to 10 reviving Survivor in 2016. The Circle also had strategic/competitive elements and while Channel 4 decided not to continue with it the show still had a cult following on Netflix. Survivor UK I’m fact had more viewers than BB did on Channel 4. ITV had expected US style success with the format and decided the cost wasn’t worth the ratings the show received.

While I’m not suggesting a move to the North American format is necessary I do think BBUK needs something more than just people living in a house and the traditional nominations/eviction format to keep it fresh. I also believe ITV will incorporate some sort of strategic/competitive element in to this refreshed format.

Twins who don’t know they have a twin please .

just keep "twists" to a minimum

try to avoid tabloid takeaway tax credits sensationalism

[UserSince2005]

They should do a black vs White House divide twist. May the best race win.

Just leave our format alone tbh, with the right housemates there’s literally nothing wrong with it at all

ITV think otherwise.

I’m aware, at what point does it suggest anything close to the US format?

”This refreshed, contemporary new series of Big Brother will contain all the familiar format points that kept viewers engaged and entertained the first time round, but with a brand new look and some additional twists that speak to today’s audience.“

Seems pretty clear that they’re going to stick to the classic format, they wouldn’t waste all of this money, promise to take it back to basics and then present us with a show with a completely new format, it’s not logical

This isn’t The Real World. Organic has never worked on big brother. I always find it funny how people think putting a £100k cash prize and weekly evictions isn’t producer manipulation. But having a house divide twist is.

[kingston]

I don’t expect the show to be drastically different but I do expect that ITV mean business when they talk about the show being refreshed and reimagined. The format will be familiar but will also have unique elements that differentiate it from past series. As I’ve said a few times now those going into this series expecting ITV are just going to rehash the past are in for a massive disappointment. What can be taken from the press release is that evictions will be live, the public will choose the winner and vote in some capacity through the series, that the pillars of the show will be there but not necessarily implement in the same way. By no means does any of that mean “classic format” or “back to basics”.

[Christmas Lights]

It's not really a twist , but they should air as much as possible and bring back live feed.

And if there's an altercation or someone gets removed/kicked out they should actually show us the full reason & video clip why, instead of rumours flying about and sweeping it under the carpet.

When Lewis F got removed back in the last BB in 2018, we never saw what actually happened.
