The end of the BB USA No: 4 was just so embarrasing.

The whole shhow just turned into a display of how horrible people can be for money.

Kind of strange that greed and two faced lying was shown on an American programme eh!

the end was a bit..........low key and mellow. Overall i still think the series is better than our uk version, a combination of the 2 would be good.

it was embarrassing to watch........
nobody wanted to vote cant they abstain?

Personally I thought it was a great ending and totally honest, you could see Alison and Jun looking really concerned about what they'd done.

There was no BS from the other house mates and no congratulations.

Lets hope next year that there is an option not to give them any money at all.

Fantastic last show.

Hey, I warned all of U in advance that in BB USA we don't have a crowd of several thousand frenzied, ecstatic fans. We already did that in BB1 USA (with the European format) & it sucked big time & was deemed a failure. The format of the TV finale went just like I told all of you it would. In fact, I'd say that because so much "dirty laundry" came out (with the HGs being given the opportunity to confront each other), that this was the BEST TV finale of any season so far. On the other hand, this was the very WORST season as far as the Live Feeds are concerned.

The only thing I'm disappointed about is that the first introduction that most of you Brits had to the American BB format had to have the worst bunch of losers - by far - of any previous season. IMHO the reason for this was that the producers had to lower their standards in order to accomodate their one-time gimmick of "The X-Factor."

Most of the HGs from BB2 & BB3 were so much more interesting & intelligent & had charisma. Sure they had their alliances, strategizing & back-stabbing. But they also had fascinating & often riveting or hilarious private conversations that we loved to witness on the live feeds.

I'm quite confident that you'll see a far better cast of HGs for BB5!

No. They're contractually-bound to cast a vote for one of the 2 Finalists.

Also, each of them received about $750 a week (except for the two Finalists). This commenced from the time they each were isolated in a hotel room for 10 days before they even entered the BB house for a potential 82 days. If a HG ever decided to leave the BB house on their own accord (not by being evicted) then they lose this money. Although I don't know if Scott (who was kicked out), was paid, I assume he was. Also "Brandon" was another HG who was fired by the producers (for contacting his girlfriend) just days before he was suppose to enter the BB House. (The rumor is that Jee was his last-minute replacement)

So the 7 Sequestered HGs got to have a *paid* vacation in Mexico - except for Robert - who had the unenviable position to end up in 3rd place. (But at least he spent that time was his daughter, Elana).

None of them has been paid yet. So I guess that's one way for CBS to make sure they all stay around for press appearances, promotional obligations & the Wrap Party.

AGREED!

I found the whole thing at the end very anti-climactic.... a grand final should be an exciting TV event... but there was zero atmosphere at all, and when it became clear that Jun had won...... the silence was deafening. Actually that proved to be Ali's best performance all season..... how she kept that smile on her face....as she saw $500,000 wave goodbye to her, I do not know. BB USA is very different to BB UK. I do like the bitching and strategies that are part of BB USA, but to me its more like an indoor version of Survivor than Big Brother. The best bitching BB UK was BB3..... absolutely great.... the best season of BB UK so far. Its surprising that the absence of the public and the fans... in BB USA is more popular there. Can you imagine BB Uk wihtout the screaming hoardes of people every week... Davina left talking to herself!!!! Anyway roll on next year and we can do it all again

Was bad enought when Gos went out to no-one, I saw the final it was shite! now atmosphere, no tension, infact the final vote for $500,000 reminded me of the picking straws game, in the BBUK saturday task! when lisa arrived! BBUK defintley do the better finale!
