Again, I don't think a few Americans having a slightly more difficult time on a foreign version of Big Brother is as harrowing as the fact that a woman has been evicted first on every civilian series, that it took twelve series for a black woman to survive a head-to-head eviction, the double standards in how men and women are viewed with regards to sexuality (how many people who voted for Aaron to win do you think also voted to evict Noirin two years earlier?), and plenty of other issues with racism and sexism.

I don't know, I just find the sense of entitlement that some forum posters have about Americans is unfounded and annoying. This is a British television show and there really is no need for it to pander to the American celebrities, and this sense of entitlement and arrogance that surrounds the Americans is exactly why a lot of the Brits can't stand the Americans.
