i said this 2wks ago & got slated for it! the UK BB is c**p compared to the US BB.

in the US version, the public have nothing to do with who gets evicted, its all done by the HMs! so the HMs nominate who they want out & the 1 with the highest votes is evicted. if its a draw between 2 or 3 HMs then the HoH (head of the house - you win this in a task & if you are the HoH you cannot be nominated, there's a new HoH every week) decides who goes!

oh, & then there's the PoV (power of veto). basically, if 1 of your chums is about to get the axe & you have the PoV, you can save that person & nominate someone else!!! pretty cruel process. the US version encourages backstabbing, you can talk about nominations & you are aloud to influence peoples votes. there is actually something to play for in the US version. also, the prize money is huge, so everyone who goes in the house wants to win because its a competition.

oh, & the HMs who are evicted stay in another house until its left to the final 2, then the winner is the 1 who is choosen by the evicted HMs. so the public have no say what so ever! the US BB could make a killing with the phone ins but their way is by far better. its a tactical game.

thats c**p. Big brother has always been about the public, and that's what makes it so special, and what about the whole "you decide" idea?

I really hope BB UK get not ideas from BB USA, have you seen their opening titles? so corny and lame. And have you seen an eviction? They get thrown out and go straight into a studio... no crowd, and it happens IN THE DAY.

OH YEAH, THEY HAVE HALLS.

THATS RIGHT. HALLS.

WHO THE HELL PUTS HALLS IN THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE?!?!?!?!

have you seen how big america is?!? if they had crowds at the eviction it would be a flippin mass concert!!! corny & lame, well thats the US for you. have you seen their soaps? & as i said, the US BB could make a killing with the eviction process but imagine how many lines they would have to open, the amount of people who would ring in would be incredible. so therefor they had to come up with an easier solution, & the public still tune in because they want to see which HM gets thrown out, there's nuff drama in the US BB. i personally love it. 2yrs ago they showed it on E4 now they dont show it because so many people was tuning in & of course the UK would rather promote their version. the only thing i have a problem with about the UK version is the talking about nominations. there's a fine line & it needs to be explaned clearly. as for "influencing vote" then sure if someone like grace says "i hate richard" than the rest of the group will say/feel the same & therefor will nominate him because their friend dislikes him, if you catch me meanings...
