Yeah I can think of more than a few times BBUS has had an overdose of riggage in it, I wouldn’t exactly call their twists more fair and balanced :laugh:

There's the HOH comp, POV comp, the ability to convince one person (HOH or veto holder) to save you or a group of people to save you (or even the help of America/production with a twist). And the twists are limited/not too overpowered most of the time where it doesn't totally screw others out of the game.
Don't you have to lick Allison Grodner's ass clean to have even a hope of getting a fair chance? :think:

Amen to this. The only thing it has in common with BB is just the name. You never even hear "Big Brother" talk!

He does!

I think mostly / maybe only on live feeds tbf. But why is a voice over guy talking a necessity for BB? :joker:

For the show’s Nineteen Eighty-Four roots it’s absolutely necessary, but to be fair the US has always shied away from the Orwell references.

Because the whole premise of the show is about Big Brother watching and basically being in control. As Scoot mentioned, it's part of the roots of the 1984 concept. Part of the show is housemates (or "houseguests", as the US calls them) being shown authority.

BBAU's points system and strict BB rejecting shoddy nominations :clap1:

I love the sterness of BBAU’s nominations but I preferred the original 2 points/1 points system, 3 or more are up. The 5 point system got a bit silly by the end I thought.

Oh yeah I also preferred the earlier points format for sure. I loved how the nominations became almost interrogations when housemates weren't giving satisfactory reasons :laugh:

The Australian Big Brother (as in the figure of Big Brother) best captured the whole all seeing dictator vibe.

I know, the housemates in the uk think it’s hard when most of their reasons wouldn’t even be accepted in the au version :joker:

Honestly, regardless of the roots, I like the US's twist on it as I personally find people referring to a random person in the DR as "big brother" to be a bit cringey. :shrug:

Maybe the US Big Brother is a bit shy :suspect:

They are far more Big Brother than what BBUK became. No live feed = not BB!
