I've tried a couple times to get into watching BBUS, but I've failed to on every attempt. I suppose I'm just partial to the more "traditional" format of the show that countries like the UK and Australia follow.

I've always wondered if viewers get to hear BB talk in the US version? In most other versions of the show viewers get to hear BB talk to the contestants in the house over loud speaker, and you get to hear BB conversing with housemates (or "houseguests") in the diary room. If so, when announcements are made, does the Voice of God introduce itself as "This is Big Brother..."? I find that the authoritative tone that Big Brother takes adds to the show.
