There's a hell of a lot of effort involved in winning BBUS or Canada. It's a social game, you have to have good enough bonds with people that they don't nominate you, don't see you as a threat, will vote to keep you if you're on the block, will vote for you to win so long as you manage them right upon their eviction. There's the competition element of winning endurance, physical and memory challenges to gain power that all require skill and studying, and then there's the strategy side which requires you to know who to target and at what point, in order to position yourself well.

It's not easy in the slightest and is so far removed from BBUK's requirements to succeed which is 'have a penis, be attractive and never speak a word all series and you'll make the final and maybe win' it's laughable, I mean how counter productive is that?
