The Big Brother UK is far better than the US version. I do watch both but its always a much more rewarding series in the UK. I think because there is a highlights show everyday in the UK you can get a more complete experience and appreciate the subtle nuances as the house guests get to know each other and build relationships. Also since it is up to the public they seem more real to each other. The US version is fun but in a much different and much cheaper way. Since they themselves vote each other out each week (and there is always a head of household who is solely responsible for nominating) it becomes a game of whispers and manipulation with power struggles that shift week to week. Plus with the major difference of being able to discuss nominations and voting strategies it is all about having a "game plan" which is something that seems to be highly discouraged by both the UK house guests and the general UK viewing public. Not to mention the US version only airs 3 nights a week so much more is edited down into essentially the most drama filled minutes of the week. Because of all that the UK version just seems more polished and much more like a proper reality show where the US version is more like a soap opera pretending to be a reality show.
