Jenna has a point about the Americans and the task.

Why were the Americans picked to be servants ?
Are all the UK housemates royals simply because they are from the UK ?
Personally I think it should have been done at random with a mixture of UK/USA royals, or more interestingly put a twist on the task and made all the Americans royals... Seeing as they did win the last task.
The Americans seem to have had a raw deal all the way through so far . Considering they are making the show I don't think it's particularly fair . As loathesome as some of them are RE Farrah

They should have given them a task so they can compete to see which team gets power

Surely that's what this series is all about? To make Brits feel good about themselves.
It's a bit of fun, Christ. Anyone would think they were being sent down the mines for 12 hours a day.
If I was stuck in that house, I'd prefer to be on the servants team because then I'd actually have something to do!
The entire narration; the way Emma announced it and the crowd received it. The whole thing is just driven to stir up ill feeling towards the US housemates - down to the US housemates they selected.
It stinks to high heaven.
Oh come on, it's a game show! The theme is UK vs USA. It's meant to be a bit of rivalry, not genuine tension between two countries.
Besides, it's being held in the UK and the US contestants were clearly happy to come over here and take part. No one was forced to go in and no one is being forced to stay.
It's just typical celebs being primadonnas because they're not used to doing things for anyone but themselves.
Yes, of course it's xenophobic.
Geared to the very smallest minded.
FFS. As if the British press wasn't enough.
Americans, when they think about the UK at all, are very supportive. Brits, when they think about Americans - which is really far too often - have a huge chip of some kind.
It doesn't really work like that though, does it? Americans quite like Brits. I've lived here for 30 years, and I don't actually know many Brits who like Americans. It's a very weird CBB theme, to say the least. Designed to make hatred concrete, I think.
There's no "fairness" on Big Brother. Never has been, never will be. It's about engaging the viewing audience as a mob, and feeding them what they need to tune in again next series.
Could you imagine the Brits doing it? They would happily wait on the others hand and foot.

It's been three days since Prime Minister Bobby Davro became leader of the House of Big Brother, and what an eventful three days they've been. Whatever chaos has been going on around him, we've always been able to count on Bobby to keep a cool head and remind everyone who was in charge. Namely, him. But like all good things, Bobby's term of office has to come to an end.

The Americans will get they're turn
And a safe target. Hard to complain about "racism", for what is essentially stage-manged xenophobia. Whatever. I don't want to watch it, because I live here as a foreigner, and I don't want to believe the worst about the people among whom I live.
That's not their doing, that's the editors.
The Americans are getting most air time because they are about a million times more entertainment the dull dud British housemates.
It's also interesting seeing the Americans being forced to act like servants. If they hadn't beaten us in the second world war they would all be serving us like royalty.
I always think how funny it is that the British so openly show such a hatred for Americans, when it's clearly not returned. Because logically, its should be the other way around. After all, America was founded by driving out the British rule. That could easily foster hard-feelings, but it doesn't.
no I think this series is offensive for different reasons. It has a whiff of anti-UKIP, anti-Britishness
I think the whole thing should be axed before it starts to become a political minefield
