Just been on the CBS Big Brother 5 (USA) website and as usual, they've had more action in less than 2 days than we're likely to see whole series.
For example, the first 'Food Task' ended up with one of the housemates finding a key to a chest during the task - the presenter told that housemate to open the chest and inside was $10,000. The housemate then had to make a decision - if she kept the money then the housemates would lose all the food they'd just won and be on a peanut butter and jelly diet for a week. If she declined the $10,000 then the same dilemma would be passed on to another housemate and so on. :eek:
Apparently, she dithered for a bit but then decided to keep the money. Went down like a lead balloon with the others by all accounts. Now, all I can say is, BB UK, don't know if you've caught wind of any of this yet but it seems the Americans have really defined evil.

A fancy game and you make that statement? Did you not see the first few weeks of our show?
its hard to compare the two though, they are completley different shows. if they did BB in the UK like they do in the US i would imagine it would flop.
two people in the house are related, although they didn't know each other existed. i can't believe the producers have the nerve to play with people's serious emotions and lives like that.
also for no particular reason one of the housemates is infact two people, they will be swapping places with their twin every so often. this really seems quite pointless.
saying all that, its a better show than ours.
We also still have
the best telly
the best Armed Forces
the best health service
Tarmac on our roads
Toilet paper
Open your minds.
Yes it's different but there are many aspects such as the tasks that could be adopted (with more cash to spend) that would lighten the dark corners of our BB that has been in decline since BB2
I think you'll find the word is 'British'.
Dyslexia - the British disease!
Pass me some HP Salsa to put on me humble pie
Brill, guys.
Victor to win!
Last week three housemates had to climb a huge tower dressed as spiderman, hold on to a rope, and swing over sand and a swimming pool, and jump into a net which was suspended in the air. They were timed, can't remember why though
They've also got the rich side/poor side, but some of them are really labouring the point they've got it. Their BB studio is HUGE in comparison to ours too.
On one of the eviction shows, they showed a guy his best bits, and one of them was him in a floating thing in the middle of the swimming pool, eating a roast chicken.
as for the twins well someones gooing to click somewhere along the way-then wot happens if they win do they split the money?
i liked the food task thing though shows you how greedy for money people can be
Well, it would have been, except it was Kitten and she ended up gone anyway. That's a shame, I'd have liked to see how the hm without luggage would have coped all the way through. If Jay had had to do without all his clothes, or Nadia without her makeup, it would have been great to see what kind of tension was caused by the other hms' willingness (or otherwise!) to share.
German BB is going on for an entire year! And has guest appearances, for example the young half brother of the German Chancellor will be on for one day

I don't think I could bear our BB being on for a whole year. Can you imagine - productivity will go way down!
Wow cool!
The prize fund is huge too. I don't think I could bear ours for all that time! I have enough trouble working at the moment.
Would have been more interesting if they had been told not to lend that person any clothes (under penalty of loss of food or something) so that person gets really peed off, and then make them do tasks to earn new clothes. That would have been more fun I think.
I twould have to be for people to take an entire year out to be on the show, unless they are just going to have a load of students taking part on there 'gap year'. If you where on the dole it would be interesting "I wont be signing on for the next 12 months, beacuse I will be taking part in a TV show"
Wasn't the BBC's Castaway on for 12 months?
