Does anyone watch? They're much better than the British version. Classier weddings and girls.
US is on TLC on Wednesdays at 8 and Canada is on TLC on Thursdays at 7.

I have to say that for me the US weddings all seem a bit samey, generic almost (a theme, cocktail hour, entrance of the bride and groom with bride waving bouquet in air, bride and groom dance, bit of food then more dancing). However the brides have a wider range of opinions than the UK ones. The US brides seem to give thought to what they are saying rather than limited to "no wow factor" "the food was disgusting" etc, and there seems less blatant game playing on the US version too.
Having to rank the others as simply 1,2 and 3 in the other categories is a much fairer way of doing the scoring.
Wish some of the other shows would follow suit eg four in a bed.
One of my favourites is ris-oh-toh.......and this was from a third generation Italian immigrant!
Oh god, I cringed when I first heard this one!!!
But my personal favourite is .... '... most/more unique wedding ...' etc.
No. It's not 'more' or 'most' unique! It's either 'unique' or it isn't! You don't need a description in front of it!!!!!
I have to say though, that I like the US version scoring as it's much fairer and less open to abuse (some of the UK contestants blatently underscore in order to tive themselves a better chance and it's infuriating). I like the Canadian one as well, because in the first season of that one, the narrator was a little bit like our British narrator and really laid into them (our British narrator also did the first season of the US version and he was ... well 'scathing' doesn't really cover it, but his remarks about the OTTness and the fact that they complain about the food at the cocktail hour when they walk into the reception and eat vast amounts about ten minutes later made me howl with laughter!
They replaced him after first season with an anodyne US narrator who is seemingly incapable of criticising anything and even makes out that the loser scored loads of points when they didn't!
I do remember one episode when one of the brides was so horribly bitter that she came out and complained that she didn't see how the wedding that won was any better than hers and she couldn't understand how it HAD won. I'm not sure if that was also the one where the winning bride was totally unprepared for it and wanted to take all the girls with her - and said that the others deserved it above hers! And that's probably why she won. Nice person!
On the subject of 'Four Weddings', does anyone remember the UK one with the nudist wedding and the incredibly obnoxious blonde bride who yelled and screamed at the nudist bride at her wedding reception because she hadn't got up to dance in 5minutes? It made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and i was very glad she didn't win.
