I have just started watching the USA version over the last two weeks. It's much more about "game play" ie being a complete backstabbing dick. For that reason, and my BBUK background, I tend to side with those who are nice, kind genuine people who are also entertaining.

For this reason BB USA 11 is my favourite so far. I was truly behind Jeff and Jordan's side from the start and got emotional invested, which I can't say for the other seasons due enjoying but not liking dicks. It was like a wrestling match or a movie. The assholes beat down the good people for the first half, the goodguys made a comeback, then were beat down to a very close finish where the underdog pulled out a shocker victory for the good guys. For once in BBUSA nice guys finished first. I saw Jordan as the USA version of Josie (ironically also in BB11 albeit a year earlier) except for the fact that she and Jeff actually were a good match and Jeff was a good dude, unlike Ausy boy. Hence the reason those two are still together (I think) after two years and our "Triple J" couldn't last six months. Overall great.

BB 10 However was by far the most entertaing to just sit back and watch. And hey Dan was kinda the best of both worlds. Gameplaying and good guy for the most part. The argument on Kesha's birthday alone made this season so great to watch. That had to be the most interweaving combination of interlocking arguements ever on a reality show, take a break to sing HB, then back to the fighting. In a word great.

I started 9 but found it pointless once the couples mostly became allies rather than romanic partners (wasn't that the point!) The biggest example of this was replacing Neil with a girl. WTF! Plus I know that Adam wins and that just....ugh.

I have now begun 8 and am surprised by how much I don't hate "Evil" Dick yet. Certainly seems it will be the BB10 type year and not 11.

12 was the first I watched as it was the lastest. I enjoyed it but didn't love it. I see why people don't at all. It was a clean "brigade" sweep. Not tension or drama there.

Overall this show is way more entertaining than a lot of the UK ones since 7. I still prefer the presentation and more real feal of ours and can't get attached to people as much because "they are there to win" but yeah. This was kinda a hybird post but since it was mostly my order so far I thought I'd post it here! Cheers.
