I think CBS is right to disown the first series. It was a disaster. Does anyone here actually like BB1? If CBS/Endemol had been stubborn and continued on to a second series of Big Brother with the original rules, do you think Big Brother would still be on our screens? i don't. I think CBS and Endemol were really smart to cut it loose, and start over with something completely different. They were obviously copying survivor because the first season of SUrvivor totally OWNED America that year, and Big Brother was just left in the shadows,. CBS was really smart to adjust it the way they did, and they kept live feed, so they still kept the spirit of Big Brother in it.

BBUS1 was like BBUK4

I think the way they adapted BB USA for the American Audience was brilliant, and that's why it's still successful today, while the dutch version, the german version, the french version, the australian versions have all been cancelled.


BBUSA is the longest running uninterrupted BB in the world.
