Do you have to wait til the next day to watch BBUS, or is there someway to get it the same day? I usually download it the next day from torrents.

Only ever watch it BBUS, one series when they had it on one of the digital channels, but I think I prefer BBUK, btw can we watch this new series on any of digital channels this time around.

i love them both. BBUK and BBUS always have such great characters.

If it's just based on the game aspect, then i prefer BBUS, but i love BBUK because we get daily shows and get to see so much more of them.

They are both great.

If BBUK still had live feed, then i'd say BBUk is better.

Streaming is glitchy so I usually wait until theyre uploaded on YT. Sometimes I wait up or just wait the next day :)

I've never really got into BBUS

I think it's the fact that it isn't the public deciding and what-not so all my favourites could go because they aren't popular and stuff.

Plus all the finals I've seen don't seem to have any tension to them or anything IMO.

I will check some of this series out though.

Big Brother USA, and like Roy says not like it since season 10, but thankfully one of the best players is returning tonight

I like the strategic part of the show, which is why I liked this season more when they could talk about nominations.

i like both in different ways, bbuk more entertaining tasks, better production values etc, bbus a lot more drama, alliances, backstabbing etc, plus 24/7 feeds/3 hours a day on showtime, now combine the two then we got something!

BBUSA is good because atleast you know what it's all about. it's a gam,e and everyone knows it, and to me it's nice having something to judge it on.

The confusing thing about BBUK is that you don't know if yur suppossed to judge it on a popularity contest or as a game.

I like that BBUSA knows what it is, and it doesn't apologize for being a game. You know exactly what you are getting, and all the houseguests also know that they are playing a game.

it's funny that you say that, because most BBUS fans complain when the public has too much control over stuff, like with evil dick and america's player lol. Most BBUS fans hate whenever the American public get's to decide anything lol.

A pure popularlity contest is likely to be very boring (Glass House), so I think it is better to mix things rather than go to that extreme.

BBUS anyday. The voting and subconsciously racist portion of the voting BBUK public ruin the series. They forever vote the bigger characters out. It's far too bothersome.

I also love BBUS because of the challenges, unexpectedness, and game-playing!

Plus BBUS thought me what the fuss over life feed was. Live feed is pretty interesting.

I didn't bother to watch Dan's season but Janelle is an absolute stunning Queen of BB. I absolutely adore her. Her social skills in the 2 seasons I saw could be better (maybe she will bring it this season) but I love seeing a strong woman beat everyone is both physical and mental competitions. She will be a huge target from the beginning because everyone knows what kind of player she is so I'm looking forward to seeing how far she will go.

Both are really good, and it shows it to as BBUSA is doing quite well on the poll considering this is a British Forum, but as I get more involved when I watch BBUK I vote for BBUK as my favourite out of the two.

JTM45
12-07-2012, 06:41 PM
I find them very different from each other. BB US is far more of a scripted show i think and apparently there's a lot of interference and coaching from the production team in the US.
I still watch it and enjoy it for the most part though. Hope bloody Rachel doesn't show up on it this year though. The woman's psychotic!!! Danielle should have won last year. She played the best game by a long way!

If you're an up all night-owl the BB US episodes are usually available for streaming on RapiMoviez, Watchseries.eu and Watchseries-online.eu within an hour or two of them airing in the US. You can usually find the live feed sessions the following day too.

I find the best host for streaming is 'Putlocker' or 'Sockshare'. They both stream without any glitches or hang-ups as long as you've got a half-decent broadband speed.

Loved BBUS until I discovered BBUK in 2006 and the legendary Nikki. It's been no turning back since. And after catching up with previous seasons, season 5 of BBUK made me an addict.

I did however quite enjoyed BB12US when Jordan won.

Tybrkr
12-07-2012, 07:13 PM
Jordan won BB11, Hayden won BB12.

I love both since they both offer something different, but to be honest, since BBUK always starts first, I am hooked on that until BBUSA starts, then I tend to drift over to BBUSA, and occasionly check back to see how my fav BBUK housemates are fairing.

THE LAUNCH OF BBUSA IS TONIGHT! First time in a few years that I dont have to work and get to see it when it airs. :)

BBUK always has bigger characters but the BBUS Live Feeds trump everything IMO. How long before we found out about Jay's "Dump" last year? How long before CH5 acknowledged it? That would have never stayed a little secret as long as it did if there had been live feeds. I'm also sure that much of the shine would have been taken off fan favorites from BBUK if live feed had been available. The reason so many BBUS fans love Jordan and Hayden is that they were nice pretty much the entire time they were in the house and we saw that on the feeds.

BBUS is awesome until you listen to past house guest and realize that ALL their diary room sessions you see on the show are manipulated by the producers.
"oh you want to put so and so up? well what about that guy..... what'd you think about that guy doing that to you... tell us more about that guy" "oh **** I shouldn't be putting so and so up, i'll put that guy up!"

That's why I love BBUK better. I'd rather the HMs mess with my head then producers.

I don't know why you people don't just watch the streams. If you watch one that's uploaded to Putlocker there's no lag or hang-ups at all and they're reliable if you go to the right site.

I watched the first episode of the new US BB earlier and it was extremely average!
That bloody Julie Chenn(sp?) is so plastic and the typical American tv host........almost makes our BB presenters look decent.

I'll probably watch a few more episodes to see if it picks up though.
They should ban any members of the Hantz family from US reality tv too! Russel was awful and that bloody nephew of his was even worse (psychotic, bible-bashing woman hater!!!).
I've got a feeling his brother's gonna' be just as bad. I'm pretty sure they're on to him though.

jyunga
13-07-2012, 06:52 AM
the lack of a Big Brother figure really makes the US version worse in my opinion. I want to see Big Brother taking control and playing with the HMs. The US version leaves it all up to the HGs and relies too much on previous HGs and unfair competitions to cause drama and push certain HGs along.

JTM45
13-07-2012, 08:00 AM
I forgot to mention the thing that bugs me most about the US BB.
The fact that the viewers have no input or bearing on the show or no way to redress the balance (apart from choosing which food the have-nots eat.....boring!).
The whole idea of BB is the old "Who goes, You Decide!!!" thing, although that's not even used in the UK BB any more either really.
I suppose " Who Stays, You Can try and Decide if you Vote Millions of Times for the One you Dislike the Least!!!" doesn't really have the same ring to it.:joker:

Macie Lightfoot
13-07-2012, 08:15 AM

No they don't. Quirkydude had one original channel that had all the episodes from BB1 to BB12 but then it got deleted because people talk about it freely on forums and such, word gets around, and CBS scouts this stuff out. He had to upload all twelve seasons again on a new channel, which is a pain in the ass. I know you said that if CBS hasn't deleted it by now it's fine but that's really not the case. stentilyzier had a channel full of Survivor and TAR seasons that operated for at least four years but it just got deleted a month or two ago.

Sorry I'm not trying to come off as harsh but I just think we should do our part to protect the channels as well as we can.

I actually like that the audience has no say, that way the votes wont be so skewed as in the UK where historically, the young girls kept in the hot guys just because. I think both shows have good and bad points. I like BBUk more because of how it is produced.

I agree that Julie Chen is the worst, ive been hoping they change the host and revamp the show but no luck. She is married to the head of CBS and so we are stuck with her.

I disagree on Russell, he is one of the best all time survivor players. Love him or not, you have to admit he was entertaining..... His nephew was a complete twat and sexist somn hater!!

also bbuk does another smart thing the us version should adapt, wrap up the season before it gets boring, the us goes down the final 5-4-3-2 and the feeds become a borefest by the end, uk does it all in one night, the feeds are really the only way to watch the us version, the regular tv show leaves way too much out

Niamh you would like Big Brother US, If you were to watch, I'd watch either BB4,BB6,BB8 or BB10 first. I haven't finished BB3, or started BB2 yet though & They're over 10 years old so it doesn't seem so current So I'd stick with BB4 onwards. Although you probably won't end up watching any :tongue:

It's no contest for me. BBUK celebrates its show more than any reality show deserves while BBUS is nearly a mockery of the spirit of what the show is all about. That said, I watch both and enjoy them, but one more than the other...by far. BBUK by a mile.

If you watch BBUS, you need to watch the feeds as well to really appreciate. One things for sure, the BBUS feed is much better than the BBUK feed. There's CONSTANTLY something going on in the BBUS feed, it's never boring. Because somebody is always strategizing or gossiping.

So what does that mean? That new people cant know about it? Puleeze

ffs do you really not get it? :conf: The original channel got shut down once for people talking about it openly on forums, so clearly talking about it openly on forums will not help his second channel. Nobody posts feed links because they're afraid it'll get shut down, but the same goes to YouTube channels to. Stick to PMs for all of our sakes.

I disagree on Russell, he is one of the best all time survivor players. Love him or not, you have to admit he was entertaining..... His nephew was a complete twat and sexist somn hater!!

Yeah and Russell wasn't one of the best Survivor players of all time but that's a separate argument altogether.

Yes he was, infamous! The villain you love to hate... I hated him so much but he was entertaining as hell. You can hate him but he was very smart, he never won because of his bad social game but he was quite crafty and if Jeff Probst has him on the top players list, must be for a reason.

I'm not harassing you about anything. You told someone to relax because the channel won't get shut down and I'm just explain that it hhas been shut down (not very long ago at that.)

Russell's not a love to hate figure, he's just a pure hate figure. He wasn't very smart at all. He shot himself in the foot multiple times and killed his chances of winning each and every episodes. and lol @ Jeff Probst's opinion meaning anything. You must be new to Survivor.

I like the gameplay format of BBUS better (the HoH, PoV, etc) but I like the way BBUK episodes are edited and the involvement of Big Brother in BBUK better... So it's really hard for me to choose.

The editing of Big Brother here has gone downhill, rapidly.

I don't really understand the hatred some say they have for Russell, in fact I think it is more love to hate with most of them. Survivor is a ruthless game and Russell has shown up some of the idiots on the show (some of the worst gameplayers ever are on Survivor). Russell MADE the whole Samoa season. He won the final immunities in both Samoa and HvV. No doubt that he is one of the biggest stars there has been on the show.

I've never watched BBUS, it might like it but BB already takes up too much of my time.

It's still much better than the editing on BBUS. I feel like if I didn't watch the feeds last year I would have no idea what actually happened in BB13 US. It's always been bad but it seems to be getting significantly worse as the years go on.

By editing I'm talking about the professionalism of it, the use of music in the CH5 version for instance seems amateur.

Its only 3 episodes a week though unlike ours so it is much easier to watch and keep up to date with.

Why would you vote if you haven't even seen BBUS?

There's hatred for Russell because he ruined Survivor. It's laughable that you're saying Russell's showing up some of the worse gameplayers ever because Russell's right there with them. He sucked at the game every season he came on and there's no way anyone can justify that he was robbed of a victory. He didn't make Samoa, he made it into one of the worst seasons. It's like how people say Aaron made BB12. People don't see the correlation that BB12 is the worst season ever and it was an Aaron-centric season. Just like how Samoa's one of the worst seasons and it was a Russell-centric season.

But I didn't bump up this thread just to argue that point, I'm not psycho. I just bumped up this thread to announce that Quirkydude's second channel BigBrotherEpisodes was deleted so to people like Yayita who gave lostalex and myself ****, just wanted to say I told you so.
