Could she be any more schmaltzy?

'We`re all beautiful in this house.`

`I just wany to bring out the best in everyone.`

Holy hell. String her up for that one. Imagine wanting to get along!

I think when James said someone from the United Kingdom will win it upset her...but then it does not need much to get her going.

That upset Frankie more his face was a picture .

These Americans are very much like buger cheese . Fake and tasteless

Nice = Fake, remember?

Arsehole = Keeping it real

Not shouting and breaking things = Flying under radar

Honestly, you've got a lot to learn

Yeah, yeah.

What can I say. I'm American. I don't happen find niceness "cheesy."

Barf-inducing falseness with dead eyes and nauseating Kardashian voice.

The Americans think they've got it all sewn up but we all know they will be the first three out tomorrow. The egos of those three are astronomical. Aubrey would have been out on her arse if she was in either of those doubles.

Haha excellent.

I'd like Renee to win.

Hey your cheese isn't even allowed to be called cheese because it contains no cheese!
'Cheese flavor'



I was just kidding by the way, it's the new BB with the new 'rules' where being a decent person is now a crime and being an absolute **** means you're keeping it real.

I'm still learning myself

Ah, yet another popular, and false, notion of America.

Just because "cheese-like" products exist, doesn't mean we like them, eat them, or that they're the only thing available.

I mean ... I'm guessing you all eat more than fish & chips, right?

Jesus. Yet another person who apparently comes from the nation that produces an incomprehensible, nauseating "voice" like Bears (or Lewis', or Marine's or Heavy D's) complaining about an accent from another nation.

It's a classic look to yourselves before casting your opinions elsewhere.

Again, kidding. I know you have real cheese. The FDA has some strange ideas about what's allowed in some of your food though!

Once more, I was just messing around

lol I didn't even mention America or accents. Good to know I can't mention anyone's voice if they're not from the same nation as mine though.

Oh ok, maybe this is a thing you do then. I didn't know that.

You know you're on a UK forum talking about a UK show right? So the accents will be unusual to a lot of people. Aubrey, who I support as an articulate, intelligent and strong person does have a monotone, nasally voice, to me at least.

That cali drawl is fair game for most people whether you're from the states or not.

I understand you're patriotic and all but letting things slide isn't a bad thing.

Seeing amercian shows where the 'Brits' all say 'illo guvner, would joo like a kip of tea? Toodle ooo, gord save the quin' is mildly annoying too. The US's view of the UK is about 70 years out of date.

As you'll know, it's not all Benny Hill and Monty Python.

The Yanks love their sugary soundbites. I'm just surprised she didn't throw in a "God Bless America" to cap it off.

What? Do the words "nauseating Kardashian voice." not ring a bell? Are we supposed to not have known what you meant by that?

Didn't say that you couldn't mention it, but with the British ones on display, I just said I didn't think you ought to.

The "Yanks" also hate people who use pejoratives like that.

You have to be the most sensitive yank in existence. If I cried half as much as you every time I heard "Limey" in my lifetime...

You realize there's a baseball team named The Yankees right? Better get a petition going.

Aubrey is full of cliches and platitudes, all delivered in a cold, robotic LA accent.

The US doesn't have a view of the UK. It's not really on their radar. It's why there's no slur (like "Yanks" that so many are fond of) that Americans use to refer to the British. I'm not sure where you're getting your Dick Van Dyke impression from (that was one example, and from the 60s). Actual examples wouldn't go amiss ... rather than just a generic statement that "that's the way it is."

And no, I'm not particularly patriotic. But I think the British get a lot wrong about Americans, and don't even try to understand the cultural differences. Which often ends me up defending them. But it's not out of patriotism. I mean, this series, I started off thinking (and saying) these were going to be three awful representations of Americans. But I've turned out to quite like all three of them.

My only point was, each country has their annoying accents. And this year, in particular, half the British housemates have been virtually incomprehensible, they're so thick. And slang laden. And fast. And yes, I get that the British are going to find American accents foreign (duh) ... but I fail to see why foreign always has to mean bad to such a fair percentage of people here. But if speaking slowly (with a drawl) is a sin, let the whole world sin.

Well my trans-atlantic friend, I would chill out a bit. Don't let it grind your gears.

I'm a fan of the americans this series, all three of them, more than most of the 'Bridish' HMs

It'll always be frustrating because there will always be misconceptions and ignorance on both sides. Like I said it doesn't do any harm to let things slide occasionally. I'm also sure some english people would have trouble with a thick new orleans accent too (among others). It's the way of the world.

Toodle oo

You do realize there are lots of team names that are highly politically incorrect? IT doesn't make it right. And besides which, they're not called "The Yanks" - which is the word you're so fond of, and that is a pejorative. As are many terms for nationalities that shortened, are used pejoratively.

You do realize that the term "Yankee" applied to people from only a small area of the United States, don't you? To apply it to the entire nation just shows how ignorant the speaker is. You wouldn't call every British person a "Geordie", would you?

How often have you heard "Limey" from an American? Now, be truthful. I venture to bet if you polled a bunch of Americans most wouldn't know what nation that even applied to. It's just not used, however much you'd like to think it is.

If you don't want to stop using pejoratives, go ahead. But I will keep telling you it's a pejorative. Not that I think it's going to stop you, but maybe it will the next person. Someone who's willing to learn, and to change for the better.
