Is there anything you dislike about the USA BB...

The only thing I dont like is there evictions and the fact that the public dont have a say in outting anyone or picking the winner - *thinks - did we this year in UK *

How comes we love all the back stabbing in the usa house but went mad because of things were said in our house anout a person....

Also can you imagine the names the girls would be called here - if they went to bed with a fellow contestant on camera...

But loving it all the same...

I was thinking the same as you Rose when I was watching the show.
We don't allow our housemates to play an overtly tactical game. Look at the way nasty Nick was treated. :evil:

Because Cameroon had double standards. This lot know they are all in it to win it and also know that strategy and alliances are the name of the game. No one in that house is holding back, they are just being tactical which is far more refreshing to watch than all the sitting on the fence that's went on in Big Bore 4.

The other big difference with BB USA is that it doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, i.e. it doesn't claim to be a psychological experiment as well as part game show. The USA version is all game show, and although the format maybe different, right from the get-go today it had me hooked. It's lively and intriguing, and I can't wait to see how it all plays out. The Channel 4 folks would do well to learn from this.

The challenges in the episodes so far have been far more interesting to watch than ours and the nominating process I thought was fantastic. Then they throw in the Veto element, that could switch things all around...very, very good. But of course introducing in the Ex boyfriends and girlfriends was a stoke of genius.

I will be glued to it now. I felt robbed by our BB this year, and I feel so much happier now knowing that I have BB USA to make up for the dissapointment.

Kiss of death I know at this early stage, but if I had to choose one now I would like to see Justin win!

Here's a thought...Now Scott has been thrown out for temper tantrums and they are one contestant down on what they should be...why don't they import The Tickle...How funny would that be seeing him in there with his enquiring mind...Oh go on...send him in!!

Final thought...There was only one critisism about the concept for me and that was the eviction itself...now that's where the yanks could learn from us...they need a crowd outside when they leave, it all seemed a bit flat without an audience of some description.

Pleeese don't even joke about Jon Tickle being sent to BBUSA.
We want to enjoy the show, not have the gormless one put asleep.

Bear in mind that we are x hours ahead of the USA, so it could be afternoon there while dark here.

That would be worse thing, knowing the American's because of his accent they would like him and also because of his christian beliefs. :-?
