I think the fact you can have alliances/discuss nominations makes it more exciting to watch.
I didnt know you could discuss nominations in USA BB! I'm devastated! It should be allowed over here! Imagine the backstabbing! I wish they had relaxed the rules for Big Brother 7! :bawling:
They would never allow that rule over here. :laugh:
I see BBUK as more of a "social experiment" rather than a "strategic game"

That is the only reason why I like it. I like seeing the strategy.

However, the summertime isn't a good time to air a show.

...it does fairly well in ratings, though.
Really?
I knew the show wasn't that popular, plus I've never seen the actualy ratings, because you guys use the 2/2.6 thing or what ever it is. So, that I dont understand.
I'm guessing it's somewhere around 6/8 million?

Yeah, true.
I dont think people would enjoy it over here anyway, if they did do it.

I have no idea, I just remember seeing it number 1 or 2 for the week for TV Ratings in my entertainment weekly.

What I like about yours is that you actually have a day-by-day recap, everyday. Ours, well, we combine about 3 days into an hour.

I like both versions, but they are very different.

The first series of Big Brother USA was like the UK version, but the public wasn't interested so they changed the format to be more like Survivor which was a huge hit.

The Surreal Life 1 was shown over here on VH1 but didnt do to weel i think and wasnt shown again. I think its a bit borning and they edit it so badly and over dramatise things.

BBUSA is the kinda the same - but much more exciting. The best thing about BBUSA is that its totally unpredictable. You really dont know what the housemates are going to do next. BB All Stars was good but not great - I much prefer BB4.

I think for BB7 USA they really need to go back to having a season were non of the housemates know each other. Since BB4 there have been housemates that known each other.In BB4 they had the EX's broought in, In Season 5 thay had the twins and Brother and Sister Nakomis & Michael, In Season 6 they had the pairs and in All stars obvasily they had people from the same series in the house.

Big Brother 4 was one of the weaker seasons. I bet the only reason its your favorite is because it was shown on UK television.

No - I think it has amazing Housemates! Alison, Erika, Robert, Jun! And More! I have seen BBAS, BB6, BB5, BB4 and some of BB3 & BB2 and out of them i would say BB4 is the best.

My favorite was S6. The Nerd Herd vs. The Sovereign Six.
