Hey guys, just wondering what the other Big Brothers like the US and Australia versions are like? I have only ever watched BBUK and was thinking of giving BBUSA a go and/or starting BBAUS. How do they compare to the UK show?

BBUS is good, but in a completely different way. Since the US has a mentality to vote out all sources of entertainment, the rules were completely changed for season 2. A new Head of Household is crowned each week and they nominate two HouseGuests for eviction. Then everyone votes to evict one of them and the process repeats. It's a lot of strategy, but there's still drama and fun and a great show. I recommend it!

BBAU is a lot tamer than BBUK. It's family-friendly and aimed at teenagers, so there isn't any swearing, nudity, or controversy on the main program. You'd have to watch Uncut/Adult's Only for that. The housemates generally get along well and all like each other, so there aren't many arguments. It's much more similar to C5 BBUK than C4, in that most of the housemates are attractive 18-30 year olds, they usually have celebrity guests, and they focus a lot on showmances.

I'd recommend watching BB1, BB3, BB5, and BB8. BB4 and BB7 are alright, and BB2 and BB6 are awful.

But be warned, most of the winners are awful.

BBUSA and upcoming BBcanada focus more on gameplay and have live feeds which can be entertaining, also plenty of arguments and clashes! I love it.

Big brother USA is fantastic, centered around gameplan, it really is always exciting to watch
I'd reccomend starting on a simpler one first to learn the ropes, maybe BB3
if you type in BB us 3 episode 1, etc all the episodes are up on youtube

Big Brother Australia i've never watched

Thanks everyone! BBUS sounds good, think I will give it a go! Swinearefine, BBAU doesn't sound like my cup of tea, I'd say I won't bother with it, hate all the focus on showmances! BB needs a good few arguments and some controversy Thanks for the advice!
