The American one's not too bad - the idea of putting their names up is cool. But the UK one is defo better with the eye and the cool music! :thumbs:

Edwin 21-06-2006 08:04 AM

the USA ones are so corny, they're the worst I'v ever seen.

The UK ones show kind of like.. mental illness and is all psychadelic and weird, like how George Orwell's book was. The USA ones are like some cheap soap opera, and hollyoaks has better titles then that!

england is well better
all these other people tack our show a spoil it

Bells 21-06-2006 08:08 AM

Yeah it is a bit corny lol but then the whole BB concept is. And BB isn't OUR - as in - the UK's show - it's been all around the world for a while.

Big Brother, All Star (Belgium, United States). Housemates from the different Big Brother seasons living together.

that sound like a good idea

SiMoN! 21-06-2006 08:42 AM

Country with most seasons: Spain, 7 finished seasons
Country with most seasons in total: UK, 11 finished seasons (6 main, 4 Celebrity & 1 Teen)

Bells 21-06-2006 08:44 AM

cool, they're all good ideas. :thumbs: we haven't had a teen one, but that wouldn't work here anyway and it would limit audiences (unless if they put it on at a different time and/or different channel).

Oh dear! - I think the US idea for the show is better - the way they encourage talking about nominations and it is more tactical...and how they then have the winner chosen by the evictees!! Much more exciting to watch I'm sure!!!

Their titles aren't perhaps as good as ours because theirs make it look more like a sitcom - but then I'm sure US people that have never watched our version may find ours strange?? - I mean... our titles invoke ideas of conspiracy. The funny thing is, we don't have much of that in our show!!! Whereas with the US style their show is full of conspiracy!!!!

Maybe they don't feel the need to build up the titles as their show is enough??

There isn't anything sinister about the titles in the USA one, it's all twee and lame. In the UK one it's clever and rather spooky.

But if big brother didn't have the famous eye would it be as well known as it is these days?

JakeyBoy 21-06-2006 11:48 AM

It's American! Get your head around it would you?

All US shows are like that, I don't think you have grasped the idea that there are different kinds of BBs around the world
