Can non-americans audition for Big Brother USA?
Can non-americans audition for Big Brother USA? I like to see a range of nationalities on TV so people can learn from people different than themselves.

No, which is a shame because other countries tend to allow people from all countries to apply.

I think it would be really interesting if they had a series with like a couple of foreign players aswell. As one of there usual twists!!! But in a normal series, it wouldnt work!!!

If BB is anything like Survivor, US citizens only can be on the show, you can't even have dual citizenship. Todd, Survivor winner said that producers freaked out when they found out he had dual US/Canada citizenship and he was told to give up his Canadian citizenship or he wouldn't get the million dollar prize.

Not really. Americans aren't found in BBaus or BBuk, unless they are a psycho boyfriend or celebrity

They do allow them to apply though - we've had contestants from America, Italy, Australia, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Brazil, Portugal, India, Pakistan and Iran in our main series, whereas I don't think the US show has had anyone that doesn't come from the US.

Well, everyone knows my sentiments on the matter, lol. Since series 5, my girlfrend and I always jokingly contemplate creating an e-petition.
![]() It would be brilliant to havemabe a twist where international contestants could be placed into a team against the traditional US citizens for the first few weeks, only for the teams to be dissolved a few weeks later, leaving for both teams to either stay pitted against each other or begin working with each other (faintly comparable to the Coach's Twist in Season 14). I mean, but when you think about it, having twists where there's long lost relatives, identical twins posing as one, secret partners and fathers and daughters, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to maybe consider an international twist? *crosses fingers* Hahaha |

Americans are very fond of the Irish so it might be fun to have an Irish guy in BB USA for the craic...

The UK show's a lot more concerned with diversity so they'll always pick a wider range of nationalities than the strategy-based US one - but they still need to be legal citizens. |

It is so hard for me to understand all these legal issues. Can people from other nationalities not get a visa to appear in the US version?
