So what will the power be then? what do you all think?

I wonder if it could be anything to do with VTE being back too, like could a housemate end up with enough power to change nominations/evictions

Thoughts?

[Me. I Am Salman]

hope they bring back head of house or do the American version

I think rather than all housemates being able to use an iPad and social media of some type it'll just be one housemate. It'll give them power to be able to see what the public are saying and also make decisions.. It'll also mean the housemates will be fighting among each other in tasks for that role.

Thats not to say i'd enjoy this, because i don't want them to be able to see what the public are saying.

I knew power meant something in the teaser.

I don't want this to happen either really

I hope it's nothing more than cycling to power the hot water.

If the power isn't control of nominations then ultimately it's pointless and this hyping of game and strategy they're doing is unnecessary. Then again though HoH and Veto without a house vote combined with a public vote is also pointless and renders any attempt at strategising pointless so they may as well not bother and just let the cat ladies have their way if that's the case

I like the idea of only one or two people having access to twitter & such like, I feel there will more game playing then.

Emma said power will be passed around all the time so it would make a bit of sense

If the power is something like deciding who's on rations and stuff then lol how embarrassingly lame

I find it interesting that 16 housemates have been rumored but there are only 12 chairs at the dining table. Do you think that each week four housemates will have power and are given their own area to sit in, sleep, eat etched and only they have access to the pod?

Yeah this is strange.. there are 3 or 4 bar stools on the left next to the kitchen where some of them might have to sit separately?

No offense but have you even watched the American version? The format/concept of it is much better when you give it a go. Dismissing it before even attempting to watch it or get into it is kinda stupid :/

I have watched a few bits and bobs and that's all I need to know I don't like it so your entire post is basically irrelevant...

Ok well you're missing out since you clearly haven't watched enough to be making a full on judgement of the format and saying 'eww no' at suggestions of it.

Your entitled to your opinion though, just think you should give it a fair chance.

[Marsh.]

They said housemates will be given power that only Big Brother has had in the past.

So I'm guessing they will rule the house, maybe change rules (allow discussion of noms?), choose who nominates or saves people.

If won't simply giving punishments and rewards to people of their choice and being pampered in a special room and that's it otherwise there'd have been no point mentioning the game and twisting nominations to their advantage.

[Marsh.]

Even outside of the format differences I find BBUS dull. The format of highlights etc are just like most US reality shows and it really doesn't interest me.

I actually wouldn't mind this

I'm not missing out though Hayden, I don't like the US one and that's it, that's my choice....

[Jack_]

I agree with Hayden's initial post, I don't feel like anyone can sufficiently judge another version of Big Brother unless they've seen a whole season tbh

I've only seen bits of BBAUS and never a whole season so I would never sit here and criticise it, I can't comment because I've not seen enough of it. If anything the very fact that I used to be one of the people on here whom would criticise BBUS having never watched a minute of it and now since giving it a shot I actually prefer it to our format, is living proof that you shouldn't judge something until you've given it a substantial chance.

It's the same as me going 'ew Doctors is an awful soap' when I've never watched an episode. Bit unfair to comment on something I know basically nothing about

[Josy]

Why on earth would anyone spend time watching an entire season of something they don't enjoy or like? it's a ridiculous suggestion.

People know what they like and that's that, you have no right at all to tell them otherwise.

That's fine but saying 'eww no' to something which you've never even attempted to watch is a bit unfair really.

I don't care if you think it's unfair though, that's my opinion....
