Its more to do with alliances and all and not a popularity contest btw!
I would suggest it, some seasons are great. I would start with 2,season 1 was pretty shit. |

If your offended by behaviour in bbuk, you wouldn't be able to watch bbusa as it can get very nasty. More so than here.
BBUSA either the last one or the one before there was racism, homophobia, sexism etc...it was terrible. In one series hms told a hm to hang herself like her dad who committed suicide. In general its great but beware. The hms are worse intterms of controversy I think 2 and 6 are considered the best. I've only seen 9 and 10 in ffull. |

It's a bit shit, really.
Most of the contestants are clearly actors and models; very few look like actual people you know. And the house really looks like a stage set. It doesn't actually feel much like a house the way the BBUK house can. Also, the people are awful and really horrible to each other the entire time. |

Same with me. The BB US seems so clinical. It's strictly based on strategy and alliances--UK BB audience don't seem to appreciate "strategy and alliances." Also IMO, the BB US presenter is such a bore.
She opens up as seasons go on, I loved her comment on launch night this season "we have so much to get through I wont have time to say but first" lol she is hilarious really |

I liked season 1-7. Since Alison Grodner became the executive producer in season 8 I think there's been too much manipulation. It has much more focus on being a gameshow and people trying to win, but it has lost any appeal to me now since they are so obviously rigging it in certain housemates favour.

Oh god Chelsia! She also berated someone for having an abortion and drunkly smashed up some eggs she painted and said 'that's what you did to your unborn child' or something along those lines and by BBUSA standards she wasn't even seen as that bad. I'm mean Helen's a gobby cow but she'd probably shit herself with the American lot they're brutal. Didn't someone even get stabbed once? Then they all go to bed at night reading the bible.

Yes OP I seriously would recommend the US BB... SOOO much better than the UK one on so many levels. My personal favourite is season 6 (along with a lot of other people).. I would start on that season and work your way up

In season 2 a housemate held a knife to anothers throat while they was drunk flirting. He was kicked out... is that what you mean? No one has ever stabbed someone

It puts out version to shame so many good series.
I would suggest series 15 every single episode is entertaining |

Yes it's really good I would watch seasons 2-8, 7 is allstars so returning players from 1-6 come back.
9 is a bit of a trainwreck but watchable. 10 is like back to basics Big Brother. 11-14 I enjoy, but some people don't lol ![]() Don't watch 15 and 16 has only one really good player so is a bit boring in the second half. |
