They wonīt do mainly because of the audience who just want to see Americanīs on TV. I think one of the requirements on the application is that you have to be an U.S Citizen to qualify.

They would be also annoyed by the different slangs and dialects people speak and would not understand what they say. Among other things. People would switch off and they would lose viewers.

It would be just too much of a risk to them.

Calderyon 17-09-2015 04:12 PM

That doesnīt mean i wouldnīt want to participate.

The budget must have taken a cut this year because the comps this season have been really bad and hardly very elaborate at all. When you think back to BBCan3's epic final HoH comp with the rocks/sand stuff and then look at BB17's part 1 it's like :umm2:

I think you just have to be resident in the US to apply, which if true in theory means Brits or other nationalities could become houseguests.

If that is the case and I ever end up living in America I'll definitely be applying :laugh: I do wish the UK would trial the US format tho

I stand corrected. Still, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that a Brit could have acquired US citizenship and make it onto the show

The chances of that ever happening are slim though :laugh:

I can't deal with general public. Just a week ago Vanessa was just below JRat on these polls and everyone thinks she's deserving for being a great player. Now that JRat has been evicted, suddenly everyone stans the trashboy.

Hardly breaking news is it!!!
America is the most out of touch, deluded country in the Western World and they just keep getting worse!

How does liking Steve the most out of the 3 people left make us delusional?

Who won the first HoH?

Wizard. 18-09-2015 09:03 AM

They only like Steve because Vanessa who was the second fave after John evicted him, they only like him for being with John. Plus I don't understand why you would be defending US if you're from US when your favorite is a racist and homophobic.

AarynGriesfan 18-09-2015 05:05 PM

Everyone is allowed to like whoever they want to on Big Brother. Liking Steve or liking any of the last 3 doesnt make you anything at all. But if you wanna freak out about a poll that than whatever I guess.

reece(: 18-09-2015 05:08 PM

Steve needs to go next, cannot abide him.

Jason?

LemonJam 18-09-2015 08:40 PM

I think she means the first part Pete :P

Vanessa won part 1.

Macie Lightfoot 19-09-2015 06:19 AM

Steve won part 2. Liz got stumped on some question about a double eviction and lost by 3 minutes. I don't think she's really THAT screwed because Vanessa and Steve will probably both take her, and I think she might have been dumb enough to take Vanessa so maybe this works out better for her. I mean, she threw part 1 all bc Vanessa yelled at her or something :joker:

JerseyWins 19-09-2015 07:30 AM

Eh if Steve wins part 3 and evicts Vanessa I think that wins him the game but **** it I'll take a Steve/Liz final 2 any day.

Ashley. 19-09-2015 07:47 AM

Liz has got F2 in the bag either way. I don't mind if it would mean her serving Julia justice x
