No. If it's not actually tense in the house then they shouldn't try and make it tense. It's a REALITY show for a reason.

Meh, I'd cut the montage crap but I don't mind some music during taks to build a bit of tension. Also I strongly agree with the Eviticion music being axed, I like to hear the Boo's in full effect.

Why would you want music added to make it tense? It's not a film or a drama.

Well think about if it's a live task or when the names are called perhaps have some beating drums or something, I dunno you don't have to like it.

I actually didn't mind the editing as that was the norm since it was my only series, but I've seen random episodes from BB3, 5, 7 and 10 and I can say the first 3 (not so much 10) were much better and wasn't so tacky.

The production lies with endemol not the channel. Might not be an inferior entertainment show but definitely an inferior reality show. Ofcourse the rating will be higher for a country with 5 times more people & the ratings are getting better because the quality of the show might not be declining but it's not hard to keep the quality the same when you rely on manufactured drama & gimmicks.

The Big Brother UK is far better than the US version. I do watch both but its always a much more rewarding series in the UK. I think because there is a highlights show everyday in the UK you can get a more complete experience and appreciate the subtle nuances as the house guests get to know each other and build relationships. Also since it is up to the public they seem more real to each other. The US version is fun but in a much different and much cheaper way. Since they themselves vote each other out each week (and there is always a head of household who is solely responsible for nominating) it becomes a game of whispers and manipulation with power struggles that shift week to week. Plus with the major difference of being able to discuss nominations and voting strategies it is all about having a "game plan" which is something that seems to be highly discouraged by both the UK house guests and the general UK viewing public. Not to mention the US version only airs 3 nights a week so much more is edited down into essentially the most drama filled minutes of the week. Because of all that the UK version just seems more polished and much more like a proper reality show where the US version is more like a soap opera pretending to be a reality show.

Well, they haven't said they won't be a live feed so keep hoping. I wouldn't be bothered but do know a fair few people who really want the live feed to be part of the new era too like you do.

how i'm feeling now

I liked the task montages tbh. But I agree some of it was over-edited.
But I hated the music on exits and the stupid effects/graphics on the 'best bits'.

I wasn't talking about the quality of the entertainment - although I think that blows too. I was talking about the show identity and production which is painfully better in the UK version. Back in the day Big Brother had cutting edge promotion and graphics. The logo alone has become a cultural touchstone. The American version in comparison is very humdrum and conventional. You're entitled to your own opinion of course but mine is that you would want to be either incredibly biased or on some sort of drug that numbs the brain to creativity to think the American production design is superior. |

To be fair to the US version, at least they bother changing the intro when houseguests get evicted. The UK just stick with the same boring shot (and weak techno music) every year (though the US theme is pretty terrible too, compared to Survivor - but even the worst Survivor intros are more well-produced than the UK BB ones).

How would you go about changing the titles to reflect Gerry's eviction? Remove one of the blue triangles that flash up for about a tenth of a second? |

I get the UKBB is based more around an impersonal BB, but people do typically watch the show for the housemates, not for the graphic design. If you're favourite goes early, it's nice to see them in the intro and it shows how everyone has made an impact, whereas in the UK the early boots are just brushed under the carpet. I think both approaches have their pros and cons really, I just think it's pathetic when people get smug about the US version being "dumbed down". For every horrible thing they've done, our show has done something as bad (and vice-versa), and lots of it comes down to personal choice. |
