Oh dear.

The American one's not too bad - the idea of putting their names up is cool. But the UK one is defo better with the eye and the cool music! :thumbs:

[Edwin]

the USA ones are so corny, they're the worst I'v ever seen.

The UK ones show kind of like.. mental illness and is all psychadelic and weird, like how George Orwell's book was. The USA ones are like some cheap soap opera, and hollyoaks has better titles then that!

[SiMoN!]

england is well better
all these other people tack our show a spoil it

[Bells]

Yeah it is a bit corny lol but then the whole BB concept is. And BB isn't OUR - as in - the UK's show - it's been all around the world for a while.

It was a dutch idea, so it isn't really ours.

Big Brother, All Star (Belgium, United States). Housemates from the different Big Brother seasons living together.

that sound like a good idea

[SiMoN!]

Country with most seasons: Spain, 7 finished seasons
Country with most seasons in total: UK, 11 finished seasons (6 main, 4 Celebrity & 1 Teen)

[Bells]

cool, they're all good ideas. :thumbs: we haven't had a teen one, but that wouldn't work here anyway and it would limit audiences (unless if they put it on at a different time and/or different channel).

Oh dear! - I think the US idea for the show is better - the way they encourage talking about nominations and it is more tactical...and how they then have the winner chosen by the evictees!! Much more exciting to watch I'm sure!!!

Their titles aren't perhaps as good as ours because theirs make it look more like a sitcom - but then I'm sure US people that have never watched our version may find ours strange?? - I mean... our titles invoke ideas of conspiracy. The funny thing is, we don't have much of that in our show!!! Whereas with the US style their show is full of conspiracy!!!!

Maybe they don't feel the need to build up the titles as their show is enough??

There isn't anything sinister about the titles in the USA one, it's all twee and lame. In the UK one it's clever and rather spooky.

But if big brother didn't have the famous eye would it be as well known as it is these days?

[JakeyBoy]

It's American! Get your head around it would you?

All US shows are like that, I don't think you have grasped the idea that there are different kinds of BBs around the world

[GabrielleisLove]

In the beginning, I would need the opening titles to tell me the housemates, it seems helpful. There's nothing wrong with the US titles, in fact, their housemates are far more attractive than ours. :laugh:

I Love The American Ones

They are so lame, theres nothing that gives the impression of incarceration, it just seems like something for a soap. And a lame one at that.

I know there are, but they could atleast have some decent opening credits in relation with the whole concept of big brother.

Who cares if it's helpful? they look crap and once you know the housemates name their helpfulness will be decreased..

Funny how you go on the attack because i noticed a flaw in your post.

And that's purely an opinion, least my posts are actually readable.

[BB-Rocks]

My posts are readable. I did actually edit the post before you had said that.

And you think your posts are good? This thread is great isnt it.

Anyway im not going to keep this aruguing because their is know need for it

[MarkWaldorf]

Edwin, Ive found you very rude in your posts and Im very much starting to dislike you, BB-Rocks did nothing wrong except correct you then you go and launch an argument becuase you think he's wrong
