Default Which is best Big Brother USA or Big Brother UK?

Just a little random question, which do you prefer:

BB Uk
BB USA

I mean which do you prefer the layout and which do you find most entertaining.

Here's my answer.

The Game: 50/50. I think that BBUK's contestants can play the game really well. BBUSA always play the game, they manipulate each other to face the public vote.

The Layout: BB UK. I think that the BBUK layout is much better than BBUSA. Big Brother UK's nominations/launch/crowd/public vote things are much better than BBUSA's style.

Housemates: 50/50. I think that both versions get their most Outrageous housemates.

What's your opinion?

The game I would say I like it better in America.

The layout I would say 100% better here in the UK, I love nominations and evictions.

Housemates i would say its just in America slightly, about 55/45%. Over there are some fantastic HMs that are intresting and not just pretty faces (Janelle and Keisha).

But overall, I like the UK version better because the layout just overules the HMs and the game slightl.

BB USA by far. I've only started watching the last few series and it is so good, I just love the way every housemate is so ruthless and with backstab and manipulate everyone not to be up for eviction. Whereas the UK housemates are scared to be themselves because they might get booed and hated for years to come by the public
I prefer everything about BB:USA which gives so much entertainment every show compared to BB:UK where the things I used to love about it are fading and its becoming very boring and repetitive.

I'll always prefer BBUK, even if it is becoming more and more stale.

Having said that, I really enjoy BBUSA, but it is sort of the same thing each series - all the twists are casting twists, they never try anything else (for example, a house divide).

I'd hate to see BBUK adopt the USA format, but it suits the competitive nature of American reality shows.

I like BBUSA better it is more like a soap or story but you wonder what will happen next.

BBUK is going so boring now.

I enjoyed BB9 USA but I didn't follow it like I do with BBUK and I didn't get as involved. I'm in no hurry to watch another series but I wouldn't object to E4 showing another but I won't go out of my way.

BBUSA can be too contrieved and too tense with all the dramatic music and flashbacks. That isn't what BB is about imo, BBUSA just isn't 'real' like a reality show should be.

Tough call - at it's best BBUK is the best Big Brother in the world, but in the last couple of years it's been far from it's best - and generally speaking a bad BBUSA season is better than a bad BBUK season.

I would give the edge to BBUK for being a bit more innovative over the years (though only between BB5-7 really), while BBUSA has kind of stuck too much to one format, but it's very close.

1. I would never compare BBuk with BBus as they in my opinion are 2 diffrent shows.
2. BBuk is better beacuse it's always diffrent, while Bbus is always the same, they used the same house-layout for over 3/4 years.
3. BBus does seem a little bit fake.

My cousin, who lives in America, said he read in a magazine there is a rumour they give housemates scripted roles and tell them in the diary room to be ruthless and stuff.

Neither, beacuse in my view they are completely 2 diffrent shows...

but if i had to pick, it would also be 50%, beacuse it proves that anyone will do anything for money (except for Jen from BB8US :P )
