BBUS also lets horrid people advance further and I'm sorry this whole "but they're so entertaining" argument is bull****. Watching a bunch of dislikable jocks advance and. Make it further than all the decent people just isn't entertaining for me. The best of BBUK any international seasons.

You get to know housemates in BBUS and BBCan far more than you do in BBUK because they have something we don't - live feed! I agree North American BB episode edits aren't as fleshed out as we have over here but that's because there's less of them, I wouldn't want to stop the daily shows even if we adopted their format and as a result you'd be able to develop characters better than they do in the US and Canada. The argument about 'endless gametalk' is totally false also, anyone who watches the feeds will know there's plenty of regular conversations because you cannot talk game for every minute of every day.
I don't think there's much difference between 'horrid' people making it further in different versions either, cause if you act like a twat you can make yourself a target under the US format. It isn't about who's more entertaining, it's about succeeding on merit. Entertaining housemates rarely do on BBUK because of the public vote and you generally only succeed with them if you're a man, attractive and never speak. This is irritating because the onus is on the viewers to keep the show afloat, under the US format I don't mind as much if a favourite of mine is evicted because it's at least usually their own fault
