Baffling to me.
I have been a hardcore uber-fan loyal BBUSA fanatic from Day One of Season One and even I finally abandoned that after the rubbish bin that was Season 9.
They did improve, 'reboot' and make some effort to go back to the original idea in Season 10,
but,
This season was geared for children and started off with stupid returning HMs from previous season and so that was that for me.

BBUSA is somewhat successful in its time-slot but it has been no where near the 'social event phenom' that it is with the UK BB.
UKBB has been a major social event of the Summer

(Keep in mind there is 300 million people in the USA so you sort of have to 'per capita' ratings if you want to compare viewership in that sense)

Having said all that:
BBUK 10 has gone a LONG WAY to degenerating itself nearer to the US version and not just by importing 2 Americans into their cast but more for creating a 'Jerry Springer: The Play' situation for themselves and for copying US gimmicks.
Notice the ratings went right down on this seasons BBUK. Which is a 'good sign' regarding the public.

BBUK9 was so many levels beyond and above a BBUS10 I wouldn't even compare them.
Its like comparing a Ferrari race car to a stock Ford.
BBUK9 an entirely higher league altogether.

yeah but you have to remember that

big brother uk is a reality show
big brother us is a game show

once you understand this, it will make a lot more sense.
