Firstly, I don't buy the "we already have this - so why don't you watch that instead?" argument. If Endemol themselves had used the argument of "we have Big Brother in the Netherlands - why don't you just watch that instead?", the format would never have expanded across the world in the first place.

That's not really a valid argument considering we can all only watch the shows that air in our own country.

People who watch other versions do so illegally.
