Also probs an unpopular opinion but let them discuss nominations! As long as they don't just show conversations about it like they do on BBUS. I think it really worked in terms of natural drama in BB13.

Tbh this would actually be a really good change. It would help bring more of a gameplay element to the show which will engage a lot of new/younger viewers, but at the same is not too big a ‘twist’ to implement and won’t mess with the overall format all that much.

If they’re going to allow discussion of nominations then going with a hybrid of the North American format is the way to go.

For me the most ideal format would be:

HoH - Weekly competition decides HoH. They nominate 2 HM’s for eviction. HoH cannot vote to evict but will have the power to chose a HM who’s eviction vote won’t count. Cannot be won in consecutive weeks by the same person.

Golden Key - Chosen by public vote. Is safe for the week and will chose a third nominee. Will still vote to evict. Also cannot be won by the same person in consecutive weeks.

Battle of the Block: Replaces the traditional Power of Veto. The 3 nominees complete for safety. The winner is removed from the block leaving the remaining two nominees to face eviction.

Eviction - The house votes to evict. The public vote will take the place of the HM votes the HoH chooses to nullify. If the vote results in a deadlock the public vote reins supreme.

Game ends with a final 3. There is an even number of HM’s on the jury and the public will vote as the final jury member.

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

Our version doesn’t need the strategic element at all

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I never said it was. They also never said it would be the “classic format”.

Do you know what Familiar Format that kept the viewers engaged and entertained first time means?

Yes and I also know what reimagined and refreshed mean too.

[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”.

[GoldHeart]

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.
