Not only do the American Public not know who he, Karly or Sophie are (although, I do now because of BB) the entire idea of him having a show in America where he dates the two of them is a joke. American TV networks are always hesitant to adopt foreign television shows because they fear that many Americans would not be able to understand what people are saying due to a lack of familiarity with foreign accents. BBC America often runs shows with subtitles or captioning for this very reason. I tend to disagree with the idea that people would not understand the accents but a large portion of the television I watch does come from the UK so perhaps I'm more familiar with the accent, slang terms, pop-culture references, etc. than most. I don't think that people would have a very hard time understanding Sophie, but Karly's accent is so thick that there have been a few times where I had to rewind and listen to something she said a second time. This was even highlighted on the Eviction episode with a clip of things that couldn't be understood. I'm not sure who Kenneth thinks was going to pay him six figures per episode to do 22 episodes of anything, but another fact that lends an air of incredulity to his statement is that US shows only have a run of 13 episodes. I think we'll be finding out more about Kenneth from Big Brother rather soon. Perhaps he was sent in as a "mole" of sorts. Or perhaps he really is the fool he presents himself as. Either way, I think he'll shake things up a bit as Karly predicted.
