Default Does it bother you that poeple Americanise our Big Brother
Examples.

Calling our series "Season".

Calling the housemates "Houseguests".

For some reason it really irritates me. BB is a British institution and should keep its identity. The editing has already gone down the American route so lets not over do things.

Whats next calling trousers pants, pavements sidewalks or rubbish trash?

So vote does it annoy you or not?

Houseguests would surely be people from the outside world who come in for a task rather than the resident housemates.

He didn't call you petty though, he called you pedantic - which isn't an insult.

And no, it doesn't bother me. I don't care what other people call it. I call it "series" and "housemate" and for BBUS I say "season" and "houseguest" because that's what they're referred to.

Yes. It really does. Alot.
It's like '****** up and learn our terminology if you're going to claim to be a fan of our series.' Happens alot on YouTube when people say things like 'I think that guy Aaron should be eliminated, he just doesn't contribute much like the other houseguests this season.'

****** off.

I know it shouldnt but even on im a celeb and X Factor aswell when they call the people voted off "evictees" gets on my tits. Evictee is Big Brother termonology, doesnt make sense anywhere else.

And fyi, you're complaining about people "Americanizing" our Big Brother (which I don't think many people do) but yet you've Americanised the title of this thread. Oops.

Because the British spelling is Americanised.

Americanized is American.
