I have been watching this series of BB USA, must say I really like it, it's trashy but fun to watch!!

But I do have a few questions.....
How long is it on for?
Do the public not get to vote in this series?
Will there be whole house nominations?
Do the evicted couples not get an inteview (Davina Style)?
Anyone know the E4 Schedule for this show?
Is it still on in America or has it already finished??

As far as I know there has never been a public vote on BB:USA. Apparently when there are only 2 HGs (or in this case couples) left the evicted HGs then form a jury to decide who wins

As for the E4 schedule.... 3 shows a week, 1 on Tuesdays 9pm and then a double bill on Thursdays at 9pm

3 months it's meant to be. But there are rumours it may be cut short.

Do the public not get to vote in this series?

The public don't get to vote on evictions but about half-way into the series they have America's Choice, where the viewers get to vote on stuff like "What item would you like to give the house?" or "Which housemate do you want to receive a phonecall from home?" etc

Will there be whole house nominations?

No, there are only two people (or two couples in this series) up for eviction each week.

Do the evicted couples not get an inteview (Davina Style)?

Yes Julie Chen interviews them on the live Wednesday show (so either Jen/Parker or Ryan/Allison will be interviewed on tonights show )

Anyone know the E4 Schedule for this show?

Tuesdays - E4 - 9pm
Thursdays E4 - 9pm/10pm (double bill)

Is it still on in America or has it already finished??

Yes it's still on in America. The UK are only two days behind.

So that would be in the second half of the Thursday double bill??

Ah thanks for the all the answers, I really quite like this style of big brother!
One last question, Jacob and Sharon that were voted out first, I never got to see an interview with them and I am sure I have not missed an episode, is it normally in the double-bill??
I am assuming there is no eviction crowd like there is in the UK?

Jacob and Sharon didn't get an interview because it wasn't live, the first eviction was pre-taped. And no they don't have an eviction crowd. They only have a crowd on the finale night.

And yes this weeks eviction and interview will be on the second Thursday episode on E4.

No the public dont get to vote,sometimes they have americas choise which may be something like which evicted hm should return or who gets a phonecall to home etc.

Only the winner of head of household gets to nominate the hms ( this is usually one person ) but the HOH usually discusses with most of the hms what deals can be made or who do the house feel needs to go.

Evicted hms do get a very short interview with julie chen but its not an indepth interview,hms leave messages for the evicted hms which get played near the end of the few minuite interview.

Its still on in america..no one really knows a proper end date yet i dont think,this is because this season was only a standby to cover for the writers strike and initially planned for just 6 weeks ( not sure but i think a normal bb is 3 months ).
There will be a BB10 in summer.

There are 3 episodes a week,I think E4 are fitting the 3 shows into 2 days a week..not sure of the days as i watch the series at american pace rather than e4 pace.

This series is maybe not the best example of BBUSA..I always tell people to try grabbing BBUSA 6 which was a great series and my personal favourite.

EDIT : Bloomin eck you lot respond fast,or maybe im just a slow typer

Watch BB2 first because that was the first series to adapt the new game play rules. And that way you can get to see how the game has evolved. Plus it has a great cast of housemates and is personally my favourite series and it's the series most of the hardcore American viewers class as the best series. It doesn't have the Power of Veto comp back then but it has some amazing game play. Also everyone is a stranger and it's less 'twisty' than the seasons from BB4 onwards.

This user has uploaded all of BB2 on Veoh. http://www.veoh.com/users/prettyskye

You may have to download the Veoh Player to watch them, but it's FREE to download.

BB6 is the best I got into BB USA because of it. You can watch it first it doesnt make a difference

Here is a link for it

There was a Public Vote in the first series but it was scraped due to poor ratings and since CBS had spent so much building the house, the HoH/PoV Format was formed.
