so what country is this big brother?

[#44622] Written by: familyguy [09/07/2007, 06:59]
well, it must be the us one cause thats the only country that does bb


reminds me of this:

last month a world wide survey was conducted by the united nations. the only
question asked was: 'would you please give your honest opinion about solutions
to the food shortage in the rest of the world?' the survey was a huge failure.
in africa they didnt know what 'food' meant. in eastern europe they didnt know
what 'honest' meant. in western europe they didnt know what'shortage' meant. in
china they didnt know what 'opinion' meant. in the middle east they didnt know
what 'sollution' meant. in south america they didnt know what 'please' meant. in
the united states they didnt know what 'the rest of the world' meant.

this is text, sarcasm is a little harder to tell
especially on a site with people still occasionally asking why the hr file is
twice as big.

it's really not so hard to tell when you read the entire message and not just
part of it. when it's followed by a story that essentially declares that the us
fails to recognize the rest of the world it's not that hard to deduce they were
being sarcastic with their initial statement. more than likely they just wanted
a spot to put the clever little "reminds me of this" story that they just had
forwarded to them, despite it being a 5 year old joke. i rarely wade into these
forums, and really lately it's getting even more rare that i want to read them.

i was gonna say something to that effect but couldnt be bothered.. the
storywasnt forwarded to me but no doubt, it has been on the net for a while.. i
copied it from a newspaper belive it or not (about 3-4 years ago) i thought
it appropriate to paste it considering you understood it.. i wasnt looking for
the chance to post it, it really did remind me when i saw the country of origin
was missing on this file

just watched the 20 minutes of the first show and this is is the first time i've
watched bb usa. my first impression is that it's rubbish!. the format is so
different from the uk show it hard to believe they are both bb!. no crowds when
they enter. silly fake video of them "finding" the keys to the house and the
cheapest looking bb house i have ever seen, it looks like a tv set rather than a
house turned into a tv set (yes i know the british bb house is also at a studio,
but at least it does not look as fake as the us version). seems to me that the
whole series has been done on the cheap, very disappointing. i didn't think it
was possible to be a bb snob, but i guess i'm one.

i agree. i tried to watch bb usa a couple years ago and couldn\'t take it. the
little clips that are edited into scenes with the housemates talking about what
they were feeling while that scene was going on is really annoying and wrecks
the whole concept of bb. i just happened to start watching bb uk this year and
it is so much better than the us version.
i am so hooked.

so i thought i would try watching the bb usa to see if maybe i would like it
now that i am a bb uk fan.

nope. it is worse because i know how good it could be.

there are some definite differences in the us and uk versions of bb, while the
first season of us bb was more traditional to the bb format developed in nz
though still with it's own distinctly american influence it has changed alot
since then. the uk version is a little less "family" friendly, where as the us
version airs on prime time television so ends up a bit more restricted. that's
where the live feeds and after dark comes in.

to me the biggest difference now is that the us version has dropped most of the
pretensions that this is a "social experiment" and simply gone all out with the
"it's a game" mentality. it tends to spark more drama, lies, and political
warfare between the contestants. all the voting is done by the contestants, the
nominations by the hoh head of household, the us introduced the power of veto
rule, etc. it turns it into more of a game, with more drama which is what the
american public prefers and following along with other reality game shows like
survivor.

while i like the idea of viewer votes in some instances, for bb i wouldn't care
for it. viewer votes come down to popularity contests so the players have less
ability to really act like themselves without potentially isolating an entire
viewing segment. instead of popularity its about how well you can play the game,
create alliances, and lie through your teeth. it all equates into good tv as far
i'm concerned. the show isn't perfect but its entertaining and that's how it
should be watched...for entertainment purposes only.
