BBUK ultimately is a popularity contest so the houseguests know they have to cater to the outside world as much as to each other.

That said, even though the format is superior I think the editing is bad. Hardly a minute can go by in the regular show without them using some type of dramatic music. And I hate it that the houseguests are not presented as 3 dimensional people. Instead, the people who do the editing practically decide how you feel about certain people. The "heroes" and the "villains" when in reality everyone is a mixture of both.

This sounds all to familiar to me of this years BB-UK not so much toward the end but certainly till half way through. Do you think in the US show this is done because the production chose favorites for some reason or to make their definition of "good TV" ? i.e do they pick up on natural traits in people and edit to add emphasis to those traits?
