Now, I wonder if you Brits have The Surreal Life. Over here, it's on VH1. (I am way too lazy to see if you have it over there, I'm guessing you do.)

The Surreal Life is basically "The Real World" with Celebrities. What I find funny is that they feature three contestants in common: Brigitte Nielsen, Traci Bingham, and Caprice.

Traci and Brigitte will also be on The Surreal Life (Battle of the All-Stars or something) early January, just like they were on Celebrity Big Brother.

Anywho, I find that ironic.

Why did I post this? I. do. not. know.

lol, once theyve been on one show theyve been on them all

[AnthonyX]

Nice to see a fellow American

What do you expect, their careers are over so they are taking part in as many reality shows as they can. What else do they have going for them?

Haha. I thought i was the only American on here!

The only sort of fame that anyone has reached off of The Surreal Life is a TV Show on VH1, which isn't saying much. (A part of their CelebReality)

Yes, he got intoxicated one night and started riding his scooter naked and pissing in a corner. The poor soul didn't even know where he was or what he was doing.

Its ok, Big Brother is MUCH better.

[MarkWaldorf]

I've watched The Surreal Life before. I think it was the one with Brigette, and Flavour Flav? Or how ever it's spelt.

It was actually quite good. But I prefer CBB. I didn't get the concept.

Is it! Yay BB rocks

My cousin has cousins living in Washington DC
and he told me that the american version of BB
Isn't popular at all

[Chrizzle]

The last USA BB I saw was rubbish!
No crowd, no Davina, no booing, evictions in broad daylight!

Snooze!

[MarkWaldorf]

I love American BB.
It's great.

[Matt]

Ive heard of The Surreal Life before... I even caught an episode once... I was kinda shocked when i saw Brigitte and Caprice on. I didn't stick with it.

[Rory]

I absolutely hate USA BB. I would enjoy it much more, though, if the evictions were more intense and there was a crowd.

CBS won't do that.

And The Surreal Life is just celebrities living in a house together, no elimination. The All-Star one coming up (with celebrities from past seasons) is a competition, though.

[MarkWaldorf]

I dont get why it's hated though.
I think the fact you can have alliances/discuss nominations makes it more exciting to watch.

I didnt know you could discuss nominations in USA BB! I'm devastated! It should be allowed over here! Imagine the backstabbing! I wish they had relaxed the rules for Big Brother 7!

VH1 tries what it can.

VH1 is, however, much better than MTV.

MTV is all about dating shows (Next, My Own, and some new one involving a lie detector?!)

VH1 is about celebrity gossip and internet junk. As well as Celebreality shows (Best Week Ever, Celebrity Eye Candy, Web Junk 20, Breaking Bonaduce, Hogan Knows Best)

Although, I hate the Celebreality shows.

They would never allow that rule over here.

That is the only reason why I like it. I like seeing the strategy.

However, the summertime isn't a good time to air a show.

...it does fairly well in ratings, though.
