Well, yes, given the size of USA, Big Brother would need to be on the level of American Idol to make anyone even relatively known.

But I think the "making stars" side of BB is dying in this country (thank god) as housemates are forgotten about and fade away quicker by the year. The interest is at an all time low. Signalled by how disgusting and low rent the side show has become. I thought BBBM was bad with Brand but it's just diabolical now.

I havnt watched that sad excuse of a show since halfway through last BB. A show supporting a male ***** who ****s in kitchen items and wipes his crack on a pillow told me all i needed to know about the farcical show.

Everyday they tried bad mouthing Aaron... and he won. My personal best BB win ever. James Blunts.

i think having CBB keeps it somewhat relevant though. If it was just the summer series BBUK, then i agree BBUK is nothing like it was. But having CBB is very clever of the producers, because it does keep it in the public eyes.

Well, that deranged loser hasnt been relevant for decades so he's just trying too hard to be relevant... he's just a sad old nobody. So he'son the right show.

That Tricia bird from Heartbeat?... lol... she's been in the wilderness for years too. Pathetic nobodies trying to make headlines.

Accompanied by Jamie East and Alice Levine... i am ****ting myself laughing at these wannabees.

Not as much though. The definition of celeb gets vaguer year after year. So even with CBB it doesn't get a fraction of the attention it once did.

Xenophobia is a form of discrimination, not an opinion. You might enjoy spouting xenophobic crap around, but it's not welcome in multicultural Britain.

[rusticgal]

You just have to put a couple of US celebs in there cos they are pure entertainment because they just dont get our humour....

[Tregard]

It's a shame how Xenophobic some voters are because in a large way CBB needs US Housemates, they are in a lot of cases the major talking points of the series. Plus, if we attempted to sustain the series on just UK housemates, who know the career-destroying potential of the show, Reality TV will begin to eat itself, with house's full of TOWIE, Scousewives, etc.

I shudder at the thought.

If it hadn't been for the twins, this series would've been and absolutely piece of ****

They provided all the dramaa
