The first two weeks of BB13 were the best in a long time because they were allowed to talk about nominations and it actually went downhill when that stopped, but that's beside the point...our format enables block voting that doesn't ever have to change meaning a bunch of crap housemates can hold the power all series, at least with the US format to get the power to initially put two people up you have to compete in a variety of competitions and you can't win in back-to-back weeks. You can still block vote people out of the house itself obviously, but there's still scope for the power to flip week by week, so I don't think the BB13 example is a fair one.

And there's plenty of entertainment and 'normal' stuff that comes with the US game. Of course there's a hell of a lot of strategy, noms and vote talk and that in itself can provide a lot of entertainment but there's also downtime where they just chat about normal things like any Big Brother internationally.
