They are doing it such a disservice in every possible way I don't see how it can succeed.

Bucking the system
There is plenty they could do to improve the franchise, and we know almost nothing about their intentions.
However, in this day and age I suspect it will be more of the same RTV formula, instead of a re-birth of what was and still could be a great "social experiment" with all the extra "live" components.

What really annoys me is presuming they've gone with the US/Canadian format is that will end up being the scapegoat for it's inevitable failure - when in reality it's mainly the decision to pre-record and the local decisions such as hiring Sonia which will be the biggest reason for it's downfall.
I do think the North American format is really strong - but the reason it is really strong is even though it moves away from the public vote element of the original the core components of nominations, evictions and tasks are there, but more importantly so is the 24/7 live aspect and also although on the surface it's been turned into a gameshow the social experiment angle is still very strong. I think BBUSA has shined a light on society much more in the last decade than BBUK did in it's C5 years.

So disappointed Gretel isn’t hosting. Sonia is ok but she lacks Gretel’s warmth and wit.

Never again
Still better than Sonia.
Rison
Wahoo!
And yet is still miles ahead of who they actually selected - and is stupid enough to be telling everyone she wasn't even their first pick and was asked last minute because someone else fell through.
Sonia only scores two out of three here.

Your eviction prediction priestess™
Her hosting style is very much inoffensive. She's a cunt but she's a boring cunt at that.

You mean she isn't going to ask the tough questions like Gretel Killeen did?
To be fair to Sonia with the calibre of housemates she had to work with such question were rarely possible.
She is the Krugbot - probably exactly what they were after.She's just not natural:
deliver a line from the autocue
...and repeat. Nauseating.
Rison
Wahoo!
You forgot her occasional reading out an instruction for her to do something that shouldn't be read out.She's just not natural:
...and repeat. Nauseating.
