How is BBUSA's Winner decided?

[Patrick]

As most of you know, I've a track record of never giving BBUSA much of a chance - and obviously BB Canada is following the same format as the American version.

When I was watching the show this morning, I was wondering - how exactly is the winner decided? I mean do the public vote or what is it?

[Jack_]

The 'Jury' - the last seven evicted houseguests prior to the final 2

They all move into the Jury House and don't get to watch stuff but only see little bits IIRC (from what I read/know), and then they have a vote on finale night which picks the winner.

That's why they're all going on about 'making it to Jury House' and getting the right people there, because you want people that like you.

[Patrick]

Would be interesting to see if The Quattro got to that stage - and it was Tom and Emmet in the final two.

Because obviously they'd all side for Emmet, but with Tom being a hugely dominating character - he'd be ******ing gob smacked. Which reminds me, Jack when Danielle was evicted, did it remind you of Sezer from BB7? :laugh: Just her total facial expression.

[Jack_]

Yeah, it was a great moment :laugh2: her reaction was a classic, telling them all to **** off and storming out. Poor Danielle

[Patrick]

:laugh: I was gearing up for a reaction like that from AJ aswell - because I genuinely think had that twist not of happened, the house would of shocked everyone and voted AJ out rather than Suzette.

His face would of been a picture omg.

by a bitter jury

Tom's face when that twist was announced :laugh2: what episode are you up to Patrick? Wanna know what I can/can't talk about LOL

Tom :worship: ******ing love him.

Last episode I watched was 8, so pretty up to date lol

[Jack_]

I like him but, well I can't really say yet :p he does offer a lot to the show though

Gary is :love:

Get episode 9 (a lot happens) watched in time for Wednesday and then you'll have the opportunity to watch live!! :D and can join in the live feed discussions etc cause you'll know everything.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I still can't fathom how anyone can like Tom

Is BB8 the best American series then?

[Macie Lightfoot]

Nah BB8 kinda sucked

[Patrick]

I know from general perception and being on the forum - that BB9 USA was horrible?

Which was the one that had that guy Dick in it? He went in and ******ed stuff up.

[Ramsay]

Thats BB8, most people think BB7 is the best..i've only seen four series and 7 was by far my favourite..its an all stars season

[rk3388]

Is BB8 the best American series then?

YES IT IS.
JAMEKA
JEN
WAH-MBER
EVEL DICK
DANIELE

so many great characters!

[rk3388]

bb7 is great too :worship:

true, but even better after knowing the houseguests competing

I didnt mind it that much but that was the season that was absolute trash.
A house full of people desperate to have drunk fights for attention
So if your not into that kind of stuff BB9 sucks

[Shaun]

all of the houseguests pee into a cup and whoever drinks it first wins

[Roy Mars III]

Is BB8 the best American series then?

No.

It goes BB2, BB7, BB10, then BB8. You can skip the rest

[Roy Mars III]

Dr. Will and the Great Mike Boogie carry the show on their back pretty much. Only 2 is better and that's because it has Dr. Will playing the greatest game in reality television history

BB3 as well

[lostalex]

BB3, BB10, BB8, BB6 are the ones that I enjoyed the most.

[LemonJam]

BB8 isn't my personal favourite, but judging from prior UK series/housemates you've liked I think you'll enjoy BB8 :)

[Donovan.]

BB2, BB3, BB6, BB8, BB10 and BB11 are my favorites. BB11 is pretty low on strategy and high on drama, so I've always thought of it as an easy way to jump into BBUS.

[Macie Lightfoot]

2, 3, 6, 10, and 11 are the best.

[Vladimir]

6, 7, 8, 10 and 11 are great imo.

[Ramsay]

BB3 as well

They owned season 7

[Roy Mars III]

My favourite moment of the show is when they blame Marcelles(or however you spell his name) for taking all the prizes

:joker::joker:
classic, they just messed with EVERYONES heads

[reece(:]

BB8 and BB11 are the best :love:

[Munchkins]

Series 3, Series 6, and Series 10 :love:

Is BB8 the best American series then?

In my opinion, BB10 is the best series because it had the most drama and arguments and interesting gameplay. And pretty much every housemate was bat**** crazy and out for each others blood. But BB6, BB7, BB8, and BB11 were also great.

BB6 had Janelle, perhaps the most popular BBUS contestant of all time (she is very similar in personality to the Shannon Twins from CBB)
BB7 is all-stars so of course it had great gameplay
BB8 had the infamous Dick & Daniele, plus other great characters including Amber (psycho former drug addict), Jameka (bible thumping black diva), and Jen (bbus version of Deana).
BB10 had a TON of massive fights and drama, everyone got in on the fighting including a 70-something year old man. And it had Libra which is basically the BBUS version of Charley meets Alexandra but older. And Keesha the goddess.
BB11 had Jeff & Jordan who were popular, it had some great drama too.

[Mokka]

Sooo what I'm hearing is that the Rachael/Brendan seasons were the worst

[swinearefine]

I'd say 3, 6, 10, or 11 are the best seasons, especially as introductions to BBUS as a whole.

Sooo what I'm hearing is that the Rachael/Brendan seasons were the worst

Brendon has always been worthless, Rachel was fantastic in BB12 but boring in BB13. I'd say it's more a matter of producers losing all conception of how to make Big Brother after BB11.

[Liberty4eva]

BB8 was not the best. The best cast and drama ever happened in BB6. The only difference between BB6 and today's show is they used Peanut Butter and Jello instead of slop and the veto rules were a little different (no random draw). Janelle's Bye Bye bitches episode ranks as the best episode ever (just a little ahead of Dan's funeral last season). Evil wins in the end but it's a fun ride. :hugesmile:

[Liberty4eva]

To the OP... this video will show you how it works...

[lukee]

bb8 us was good was that the one show on e4

[DrunkerThanMoses]

No BB4 and BB9 were shown on E4

[Wildcat!]

BB6 was my favorite, followed by 7 All Stars.
BB6 Probably be cause I like the Janelle, Kaysar team. And the hatread between the 2 alliances was amazing.
BB7 was great because, everyone knew each others games, so it was very difficult to fool anyone, or fly under the radar.
Cant stand Will and Boogie. They were great players though I admit, especially in All Stars how they manipulated Janelle. Will aways carried boogie though!

[rk3388]

BB6 was overrated... there i said it!

Bolded stuff i disagreed with.
The only similarity between jen and deana is theyre good looking and the outcasts.
Libra is WAYYY nicer than charley and alexandra and she only fought when she had a reason to, not for attention
And Amber is not a former drug addict, shes a drug addict ( but she is psycho! i wonder how her modelling career is going?)

[Chilltown]

BB8 is the best season, followed by BB7, and then BB11.

[Raph]

BB10 was by far my favorite, plus it was the 2008 series so there's a plus for you Paddy. Definitely the one most worth watching, in my opinion.

[LemonJam]

BB6 was overrated... there i said it!

:worship:

[Macie Lightfoot]

I could see people not loving BB6 too much if you watched it after the fact, but watching it live was the most thrilling thing.

Exactly! Thats what these people dont understand. The public was so into. Everyone hated the "friendship", but they thought they were loved!

The best moment in BB history, was when they engineered Capi's downfall lol!

Amazing series, if you watch from beginning to end!

[Brekkie]

Personally I hated BB6 and I do think it's one of those series which splits the fans completely - people either have it in their top three seasons or the bottom three.

If you dig a strong volumptuous blonde female fighter, then 6 is your cup of tea. It just so happens it is my cup of tea. :)
