...E4 will show the other seasons after this one?

What are Season 9's ratings like? Do they even own the rights?

The last time I saw ratings for the show posted....
Viewer figures had gone steeply downhill.
I'd like to see updated figures though.

I think it might depend on whether our BB9 can increase ratings over BB8.

Although the reason BBUS is shown this year is because it is earlier than ours. Normally they coincide well at least partially, don't know exact dates.

I hope they do.. If I am correct, they only ever showed the one where Jun won..

Which was brilliant..

I dont think they should show it tbh. The people here obviously dont like it, because they wanna see some public evictions, and stupid booing crowds...., and they hate gameplyers. Pretty much the average UKBB watcher cant stand BBUS, aside from the few on this forum. So I think its a waste of air time tbh!

What would they do with the extra airtime though? Probably extra episodes of Friends

LOL! I know, it just seem like people only watch it to criticize it, and as a fan, it annoys me a bit, and I feel like they dont even deserve it. People always wantto compare it to the UKBB. Well, you really shouldnt because they are not the same at all. And since most people hate it, why show it?

I know plenty of people who have got into it after they saw it on E4. I must admit it does have many people who moan about it, but what are they doing watching it and posting in the BBUS section in the first place?
It's like going out to a restaurant that you don't like only to buy a meal, so you can complain about it later. If you don't like it, don't watch it and stop posting how awful it is every five minutes. Fair enough for fans of the show saying they don't like this season and things like that, or even those who have are posting their opinion on it on a one off, but not those who post continuously about how bad it is.
Sorry, that's my rant over

Nice rant.

The thing is we all do that at some point..How many watched BB8UK hoping it would pick up but it just got worse and worse.
We still watch because we are massive big brother fans who cares enough to go in a forum and rant about how bad it is this season.
I rant about this season in the hope the producers get the message that this seasons bbusa sux.
This season usa picked up when ryan became hoh but was soon destroyed by producers meddling in a pointless twist that basically meant non of the good week mattered.
Even if alex had gone in it would have been a mistake.
I just want my BBUSA back instead of this seasons fiasco.

The only thing this twist did was completely screw ryan over. He is taking the hit for getting james out the door, after a lot of hard work to make it happen. really not fair. I wouldve been ok to see alex back but this really suicked!

True. I treat the UK and USA versions of Big Brother as totally different shows. Totally separate. I love watching them both - for totally different reasons.

Completely agree.

I'm loving BBUSA, but I've never seen previous seasons. I'm going to try and get a hold of them after this season is over, and watch them. I think they released one season on DVD that I may import.

I'd also like to see BBAUS

I dont think they will show any more seasons cos the ratings have not been good enough and i think they are just showing this cos of the writers strike and they ran out of programmes to put on.

BB AUS also overlaps considerably with BB UK. I watch both shows and between BB, BBLB, BBBM and BBAUS there are three months of the year where I pretty much don't come up for air.

BB Oz is much closer in structure to BB UK, although the winner of Friday Night Live (sort of like a mega HOH competition) gains some (but not total) power over nominations. And pretty much all the men are blond and fit.
