Hi i'm from the UK.

I'm a complete BB addict, and I have been buying BBUSA on DVD through ebay for the last few years.

Well today I finished watching BB10 and the whole experience has been fantastic! I actually prefer the USA version of BB to the UK version - mostly because of the characters but also because i like the format of the show, with HOH, POV, food competitions etc.

I'm going to post a series of "Top Tens" based on my views.

Only thing I would say is that I've only seen the CBS censored episodes.

Peace, out.

Ive only watched BB6, 9 and 10 atm. Ive also watched part of 8 but refused to watch any further because of a certain Evil Dick :P

I think most people who actually give BBUSA a chance will find it is a far more entertaining show than BBUK.

But many people from the UK have a bias against it, I will admit that I did for many years and it was based on very little information other than the ignorant assumption that BBUK was the best Big Brother in the world.

But when I eventually gave BBUSA a chance, started watching BB8 I found myself really getting in to the format of the show and after I'd watched every season I truly loved it and find it a far superior series to Big Brother UK.

Glad you found this the same Jason.

Hi well the person I got them through won't sell them to a UK buyer so I've been buying them through a colleague in our New York office. He has all the details. Each DVD set is between £15-£20 depending on how long the series was.

I actually have a spare copy of BB3 because he sent me two by mistake. I was going to put it on ebay but if you make me an offer.... he he

If you're interested in buying any more of the series I can get my guy in New York to find out how much each series will cost and I would be happy to sort it out for you.

Let me know.

Wait a minute he is charging that much for the series?! And they are just downloaded from the net?

You can get them far cheaper than that, check on Ebay or something you usally get people selling them.

The only official series DVDs released by CBS were Season 3 and Season 4 (which is only highlights) any other DVD you buy will not be official, it will simply be fan made.

Yes you're right I probably could have got them cheaper by downloading them and putting them onto DVD etc, but I don't have time for all that nonsense, plus he puts them in nice presentation boxes and labels the DVDs. I like the fact that he does all the work, and £20 per series really isn't much at all.

I have the official BB3 and BB4 boxsets. His DVDs are the same quality as the boxsets.

What is his Season 2 quality like? All the ones I have seen seem to have been ripped from VHS copies, the quality isn't too great.

I'm under the assumption that the only people who have the good quality versions are CBS?

The DVD of BB2 I've got is pretty poor quality from the VHS. I presume that's the best quality you can get hold of though, as all the other seasons I've bought have been top quality.

All the seasons I've got on DVD are perfect quality - no problems at all.
