I'm just starting to get 'in' to BB USA. watching season 10, it's pretty good. I do have a few comments & quesitons - I love the house design, there's lots more privacy, they can read, the HoHs get music and stuff, there are games to play, no one sits around bored and starts rows. It's so much cleaner and more mature than the UK verrsion, and there's no cursing which I love. However, the gameplay thing is so confusing. doesnt that mean that the weakest player ends up winning since everyone always seems to put up the strongest most compeitive players to get rid of them? secondly, how could you look the HoH in the fact once he's put you up, and the faces of your HGs who voted for you? the pressure must be so much worse inside the US house because of everyone voting and nominating everyone else. everyone only seems to be backstabbing and gameplaying the whole time, it's not like the UK version where youre in for the "experience", it's totally a game through and through.

One thing that the americans seem to have down pat is that there is no big brother overkill. there are only 3 episodes a week and the focus is on the nominations, evictions, and 2-3 weekly tasks. they dont focus on the interpersonal relationships and petty arguments so much. it's not so boring.

Howver, the UK version has much more fan involvement obviously, with the public voting out. I wonder how the US version makes money without all those votes!
