View Full Version : The reason I could never watch BBUSA.

I've just came to the conclusion as to why I can't get into BBUSA.
As most of you know, I use to hate the American version of Big Brother - it wasn't until this year, I gave the first series of Big Brother Canada a shot, and adored it.
I love the format, the tasks, the editing - I just love it.
However the main aspect of BBUSA that I have found puts me off, is of course; this absolute mess:

She's a bland, dull, lifeless ******ing moron.
And it annoys me so much, because I would love to watch BBUSA but she puts me of it - I said to myself, 'If I can survive Dowling I can survive her.' but at least Brian wasn't boring to watch - we could actually take the piss out of him. This dullard just has no redeeming qualities.

You must be joking. Julie Chen is the glue that holds Big Brother together.

I would honestly stop watching if she was never not host.

Julie Chen is one of the main novelties of the American version. Without her it just wouldn't work.

The worst thing is the huge delay between HLs and action in the house, which means you either don't keep updated on the live action and enjoy watching the veto with suspense, or keep updated but know what will happen when you're finally able to see it on the HLs. Major flaw.
Other annoyances, like scripted DR, and us being told the obvious several times in the narration (a disease of American shows), I can put up with easier.

The thing i struggle with the most is that it's a house full of ******ing Americans!
So far this year a lot of the stuff that's been shown on livefeed has absolutely repulsed me to the point where i'm not sure i can carry on watching this season.

That's like going to the store to pick up grapes and hating the fact that you're eating grapes when you get home.

I didn't phrase that very well.
I meant the type of 'Americans' that are sadly dominating this years cast. The ones who give America a bad name.

The Chenbot is AMAZING! Julie Chen and the talk-show she's on (The Talk) is what got me into BB.

LMFAO you know Patrick's just finding an excuse not to watch, for ****'s sake she's in a third of the episodes.

Gurl please.
She's only in one episode a week and she's actually a really good, professional presenter. If you give her a chance, you'll love her.
Yes she's can be robotic - but that's why people love her. She's not in your face and annoying and OTT. She keeps it real.

Does she appear in every episode?
If not, that's a bit excessive. Watching online surely gives you the luxury of skipping what you don't like.
I did find the random editing of the US launch show quite humorous when I saw it on youtube from last year. How she randomly switches cameras mid sentence, sits down, stands up, walks forward, walks backward. Lol. I don't think she likes staying still. :laugh:

She's a goddess. Being Chenbot is what makes the show "But First" :lovedup:.

:bored: The Chenbot is literally the greatest part of BBUS, she's a cultural institution
EDIT: And according to Jun Song she's a gigantic *********** in real life, which makes it even greater :lovedup:

Hating Julie Chen is like hating Davina. Both iconic and legendary presenters of BB, who deserve to appreciated, not hated.

She is just brilliant - didn't seem a good fit at first but she just works, and she really has lightened up over the years. It would be nice for her to have a bit more freedom especially in the interviews - they're somewhat restricted by most of them going to jury or sequester.
