Not at all, TOWIE's a scripted docusoap while BBUS is a genuine reality show (albeit with some manipulation from the awful exec producer) that hell, even has 24/7 live feed.
There's so many reasons to watch because the viewers get no say. Firstly, the viewers largely know nothing and actually ruin programmes like these. Secondly, having no public interference makes succeeding in the game more difficult because you get as far as you do on your own merit, rather than whether or not you can win the public over (which isn't that difficult, just be nice) and lastly, I actually go so far as to argue that public involvement in shows like this makes them
unreal and that it's more of a reality show the less public involvement it has. Think about it, if you leave the contestants to their own devices and let things play out that's far more pure and ~real~ and is as far away from outside contact as you can get, whereas once you start letting the public control what goes on people start altering their behaviour and it takes away from the reality aspect of it.
It's more interesting to watch, it's more fair (again, trying to win the people you're living with over is far more difficult than the public) and it's more real.
You should try it.
