Well, considering UK is the only one I watch I'll go with that, but associating it with the BB12 eye makes me somewhat dubious

Only seen Canada, UK and about seven/eight episodes of US.

Canada is the best from what I've seen so far followed by UK followed by U.S. (But maybe I tried the wrong three seasons to try and get into)

(but UK was the best for a long time, it's only recently (its decline in quality mixed with the rise of BB Canada and the re-birth of BB Australia) that it's gone downhill)

BB Australia had the best production IMO, The nominations system, decent crowd control, a BB who was actually strict with rules, a decent number of finalists. I don't think the overly family-friendly approach in the post-relaunch years did it many favours, but the production was still miles ahead of ours.

You have a weird thing about the number of finalists in the final, don't you?

Yeah, I just think more than 4 is unnecessary.

I also think it's silly when, as early as the halfway point in a series, the majority go on to reach the final (as happened in BB16, from Week 5 onwards we had 5 evictions and were left with 6 finalists. I just hate stuff like that ).

I don't think the finalists should ever outnumber the evictions until the last few weeks at least. Like, make reaching the final more of an achievement. Also, less finalists would mean a less rushed finale.

It's one of those little things that doesn't seem to be an issue with most, but it really irks me.

I tend to think the finalists should be a good representative of the series as a whole so having five or six in the final doesn't bug me, as long as they've got time to fit them all in.

I agree with more than 4 being unneccessary. I don't mind 5 finalists, though. I think 4/5 is the perfect number. But, I hate 6 finalists in the final, like CBB4, BB7, CBB5, BB8, CBB12, CBB13, BB15, CBB14, and BB16 have had. Especially the last few years on C5 have been 6 finalists (since Emma took over, really), with CBB15 being an exception and only having 5.

I also can't comprehend when they do have a 6 way final, and they evict 6th and 5th place together I think the only 6 way finals that worked well were CBB4, BB7, and CBB13.

This is a difficult one I think. If we're talking about the latest seasons, then Canada trumps everything, but Big Brother UK and Australia have produced my favourite seasons of all time, anywhere. It really saddens me that BBAUS might not be returning because I think with a few changes it could be amazing (I don't think Big Brother suits a 'family friendly' channel and time slot).

Overall, I'll say BBUK is the best, because although it's not so great right now, at it's best, it's absolutely brilliant.

So you like BBUK and you find BB Canada tedious

I think you may have that one the wrong way around
