It may not be the same as the old Channel 10 days, but I don't think that's necessarily what people want. The old days are often used as a reference point, sure, but that's because there's nothing else to really compare it to, save for international versions and whatnot. Similar to the old Channel 10 days is probably a better way to put it. Honestly, if Nine brought back the show and had proper live streaming/updates, coherent editing and story lines, legitimate adult content, a functioning freakin' website, coupled together with whatever changes and twists they wanted to do that didn't affect the core ideals of the entire format, then the complaining would resume to the complaining these forums have always been famous (infamous?) for. The issue only exists because they literally stripped away the entire point of Big Brother; the entire concept.
You can't say to me, "Well, any Big Brother is better than no Big Brother" when what we're given is pretty far from what Big Brother actually is! What we're getting is a mash up of other reality shows (which would've, ironically, all been inspired by Big Brother in the first place!) all wrapped up in a nice child-friendly bow, and it sucks. And it sucks not just in the sense that it's a shit season of Big Brother, but it's actually a shit show generally speaking. It's terribly put together. It's an actual mess of a television show.
And it's not even just "us" that thinks this either. As I said, usually "we" do tend to get a bit shitty regardless of what's going on, and "we've" been like that ever since the Channel 10 days when the general public didn't really have any problems. But I've spoken to people that have no real vested interest in the show, and I've read many comments on news articles, and I've gone through the #BBAU hashtag on both Twitter and Tumblr, and there's more backlash against the show for the same fundamental reasons most of us are complaining about than ever before.
You've always defended Big Brother no matter what, Goon, but you can't honestly be so blind this time around.
