Those are both good things, you should be low-profile the first couple of weeks. Been too assertive and causing drama is what got the target on Annie.

Kristen, and Matt, are both playing really smart.

Matt swallowing his own chin there.

haha that was great nice one Annie

Britney and Annie scrap please

I hope she gives an epic Chima-like speech

Stop Shouting Hayden

Yes, it's good to lay low at the start. I was just wondering if she'd slipped out the back or something for some time off

Woo-hoo 23 hours to finding out who the Saboteur is. Haven't a clue myself.

Erm, bit confused, why is Annie gunning after Britney? She told her the truth, so she should be gunning after Hayden?

Lol @ Britney calling Annie a skank.

Loving Britney and her bitchiness

Good episode tonight. After what I felt was a pretty average start, things seem to be building up nicely

Damn, my stream cut off just as Brendon used the Veto on himself. What happened? Obviously I know Annie was put up, but what did she say?

Kathy I think


I really have no idea. She told Annie the truth and suddenly it was her fault. Annie really doesn't seem to be too smart. Playing too hard too fast and now this strange thinking

There was a little more to that, I think.

Might be covered on the next show.

She basically said she expected it, because of Britney and gave her a dirty look

Britney then called her a skank in the DR

I hope they have a scrap. Could do with some OTT drama. Part of the reason I like BBUSA so much. Some of the arguements last year had me rolling around laughing

Thanks.

The reason Annie is against Britney is because she didn't believe her. She thought Britney was making it up when she told her about Hayden asking her thoughts on a potential Annie/Brendon alliance. Because when Annie spoke to Hayden about it, he denied saying anything about that.

I want some fights too, we haven't seen any so far, only small steps towards, but then it dies down quickly. They are all getting along too well right now, which is strange for BBUSA.

Ah. I must of missed that typing

Last year, we had the Russell / Jeff fight, Braden calling Kevin racial slurs, Lydia fighting with about 5 different people and Chima's amazing nominee speech all in the first week.

This season seems to be a slow starter. I hope things heat up next week.

I don't think you missed it, it just didn't show the full story the way it was edited. But that's what happened on the live feed.

And yeah, first week of BB11 was insane. As much as I hated many housemates last season, at least they provoked a reaction from me. Can't say that many of these housemates have done that so far.

Ah OK. Haven't been able to get live feed yet, due to being skint. People seem to be having problems though I've read.

By now last year I pretty much already loved or hated everyone. This year I love Britney and Monet for seemingly being the bitches, Kathy because I like her personality and think she could be the saboteur and I find Andrew is annoying me. Beyond that no ones really provoked much of a reaction.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and was wondering what the lovely people in the UK think of Big Brother USA? I know our rules are different from the rest of the world but what do you think of the HOH concept?

If BB was doing another season over there would you want them to stick to public voting or would you entertain the thought of the HOH with the actual cast doing the voting.

I started watching your version with Shilpa/Jade/Jermaine Jackson, etc. and found it a different (although entertaining) animal.

Your thoughts, please, if you don't mind.

(If I didn't post this in the correct thread, please move it - again, I'm new to your forum).

I've been wanting BBUK to use the US format for a long while now. Perhaps not the exact same format, but a combination of both.

So I'd have the HoH nominate one person for eviction. Then the rest of the housemates nominate as normal, in the Diary Room - the housemate(s) with the most nominations then goes up on the block against the HoH's nominee. There is then a Veto competition, the winner can remove one of the nominees from the block, if this happens then the HoH has to automatically name a replacement nominee. The public still decides who is evicted.

They've added the Save & Replace task to this years series of BBUK, which is similar to the Veto competition, I think it works quite well. But I'd have liked to see a proper go made of the HoH (not like that half-arsed version in BB9).

I like the HOH concept, but we did it so poorly in BB9.

I'd like:
HOH to nominate 3/4 housemates
Housemates vote for 1 of the 2 housemates to come off the block.
Public vote out.

As you probably know, the US tried the public vote option in our first season. The reason the rules were changed (HOH, etc.) was because the American voting public voted out the most entertaining houseguests (housemates) and we were left with a lot of BORING people, playing to the public.

The house dynamics did not become fun until the power went to the actual players. I like the fact that they are responsible for their own nominations and evictions. It makes for more drama.

BB USA was boring in season one. Season two that brought us Dr. Will Kirby was great and a great improvement on season one, which is why I think BB USA has stuck with that format.

I enjoy your version, but to me it is more fun being judged (and nominated/evicted) by your peers. It makes for more drama, fights, alliances, etc.

I don't like the idea of 3/4 people being on the block (nominated) at the same time; I LOVE watching the two nominees jockeying for position/votes.

I also love the golden power of veto because it can totally change the game (like Brendon pulling himself off the block). That is fun and exciting to me.

Yes, your current season has "save and replace" and I like it. It gives people an opportunity to save themselves.

In the US version, I like that the results are in the hands of the actual players so they are not trying to play to the viewing public (being nice and stuff). I want fireworks!

We talk crap about them and all, but seldom do we really influence the outcome of the game (except for the America's Player twist, which by the way, I hate).

Put them in the house and let them do their thing. Fight, kill each other, etc. Just let me watch.

Thanks for sharing your views and commenting on mine.

Personally, I enjoy both versions for completely different reasons and I think I need both shows.

The thing I love about BBUK is all the gameplay and the strategy makes each season so unpredictable from week to week. Someone you thought could be going home one week is still there the next and suddenly in the majority alliance.

I also think the way the show is structure is a master stroke as well. It doesn't hurt that BBUSA is close in format to Survivor, which is my favourite show

I like watching BBUK because it's more about watching how personalities and relationships developing and that stuff fascinates me. Also, unlike scripted TV, obviously everything can change on a dime and people will suddenly be at eachothers throats when they seemed to get on fine an hour before.

I don't know if I'd be able to cope without either, as they're both completely different shows. Don't know what I'm gonna do if this does turn out to be the end of BBUK.

Also, I just want to ask, have you watched any other BBUK? I wouldn't exactly suggest CBB5 as being one of the better series of the show, and I'm sure everyone knows why

I'd recommend watching a regular season like BB5 or BB6 if you're interested and you can get hold of them. IMO, BB5 was BBUK at its best.

Could you give me a link to BB5 or BB6? I'd love to watch them.

Like I said, your version is different, but I did enjoy it. I would like to watch more of them...

I also like the fact that although technically it's the same show - it's very different.

This guy has uploaded pretty much the whole of BBUK on his channel, so just check his playlists for the 2004 and 2005 series' of BBUK

BBUK was at it's best in the earlier days IMO. Went downhill with BB8, although this years celeb series and regular series are the best in a long time IMO.
