It's a total BB rip-off, but I like that the audience can influence who goes/stays -- and also that we can actually tell them who we love/hate, LoL. I might actually try it just to fill the void left by Big Brother (since I probably won't be watching that this year). |

I like that it's interactive (like BB used to be) and I like that it plays out in real time, but I hate that America gets to decide who stays and who goes. That means all the interesting personalities will go first and everyone else will play fake to the cameras so America will like them. I much prefer the strategy of a Survivor-like game. It's much more dramatic that way. Social experiment + lying and backstabbing + big money at stake + an interesting cast = good TV. |

Well, we'll see, LoL. After three seasons in a row that I've hated (especially the last two), I'm not overly optimistic... You might be right, though. Edited by Mason, May 1 2012, 06:53 PM.

Not always. Plenty of interesting people have had long runs and wins in the UK version using the viewer votes. Janelle would have likely won if it'd been in the viewers hands. And Rachel would have been evicted the moment she was nominated. |

I still don't know why you didn't like BB11. I thought that season was great. The house vs. Ronnie. Ronnie vs. Russell. Russell vs. Chima. Lydia vs. Natalie. Jeff vs. Jessie. Crazy Michele. Lydia threatening to cut herself. Casey's amazing eviction speech. "What are you, his put bull?! Go make Jessie a sandwich!" Coup D'etat. Jessie's widows mourning his loss. Chima's meltdown. Lydia's meltdown. It was great! |

My problem with BB11 was that there were so few rootable people that season, and the few that actually were rootable were either evicted early (Laura, Casey) or became moronic tools (Jeff, Jordan, Michele), so that, by the end of the season, I didn't want anyone to win. |

I can understand that. That's how I felt about BB9. Still, BB11 delivered the drama, LoL. |

Meh at BB11. Gnatalie just ruined that season for me. Big Brother 10 was my last favorite. |

BB10 was definitely the last good year, conveniently when they took a back to basics approach. Wonder why ... |

I'll watch! I don't like that America votes who stays and who goes though. That just bothers me for some reason. |

Sounds weird! I wish ABC would bring back The Mole! That was one of my favorite reality shows - especially when Anderson Cooper hosted. |

My top 5 would be BB3, BB10, BB6, BB7 & BB4. LoL I love how Big Brother talk totally hijacked this show already. I would love for The Mole to return minus the celebrity crap. I loved that show. |

I know right? This got me thinking how much I miss it. :( I actually found out that Australia had 5 seasons (or something like that), and they're all on YouTube. I'm going to check those out! |
