I like both, but BB US is better.

They play more games, the way they nominate for evictions are better and everything.

Us English folk say "arse". When we say "ass" it just doesn't sound right at all.

Twilight 10-07-2009 05:05 AM

No problem.. There are a few such sites that I know of. More will be cropping up I'm sure. So if one fails there will always be other sources for live feeds.. :tongue:

You can't compare BBUSA and BBUK. BBUK is more documentary style where BBUSA is reality show edited, style. They're both good but if one must compare, BBUSA has had more memorable people in it's cast and you can't really predict what will happen from nominations on, unlike BBUK. Especially this season where whoever faces Halfwit goes home. With BBUSA there's the veto and always strategy, so it's never really deadset. You guys got a raw deal with BBUSA9 it was total trash. Easily the 3rd worst season after BB4 and BB10. Anyone who wants a true taste of Big Brother US should check out Season 2, Season 7 and Season 8.

This is my first year watching any BB series. As I'm American and I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the current BB UK, I decided I would give BB US a shot. Perhaps I would get more involved watching my fellow countrymen, but no. There's something about it that I just don't like. It seems less... organic than BB UK, less real. There's definitely something weird about it that I can't put my finger on.

The fact it's edited and produced each week and that they have a strict schedule to follow for the week in terms of nominations/veto/eviction, perhaps? Or the fact the 1/4 of the cast is all models. :yuk:

dhwthrn 10-07-2009 05:56 AM

I suppose. Like I said, I have never seen the BB US series before apart from a few clips I watched earlier in the day so I don't know what it's really like. I just hope it doesn't end up being like Real World. That show kills me.

Season 9 was like that, producers learned their lesson after that. :thumbs:

BBUK has been consistently better since the beginning, but BBUS has (besides season 9) been getting better while UK (especially season 9) has been getting worse.

BBUK needs better challenges/twists and casting. Their fame***** ratio has gone off the charts since BB7. BBUSA needs better editing. If they cut the cheesy royalty-free BG music, the 10 minutes of blue exposition, etc. they could easily compete with the UK.

bbusa u have to think,bbuk they have no brains n there are rules

BBUSA is chess where as BBUK is more like daycare play time. To win BBUSA really means you've accomplished something.

I tend to agree with this statement. BB USA is a very strategic game where the players analyze their moves in the house and form secret alliances. It's brilliant. :thumbs2:

Marc 10-07-2009 09:46 AM

USA is a good format, I like the backstabbing, scheming and the 'game' element to it. UK is a popularity contest, USA winner is the best player.

karezza 10-07-2009 09:48 AM

The Usa version is excrement like most things Yank.
