i started watching on big brother season 9, it was a big deal at WC at the time. the owner of the site loved the show and told me to watch and it was during the writers strike so nothing else was on.

 

[Butters]

i liked it and became a fan and have seen every season since, I think they are on 23 right now but I'm not watching it. I just don't care enough to.

US BB doesn't have fan votes does it?

 

[Butters]

not anymore

 

[Butters]

they vote sometimes but not to like evict anyone or anything like that. it's probably all rigged.

 

[Butters]

my problem with the show was it used to be people that actually watched the show and tried out to be on the show, now most of the people are brought in by agents. it's all attractive people trying to get internet followers.

 

[Butters]

so many of them are like, "i was approached at a bar to be on the show, I've never watched an episode but I thought it would be good for my career"

 

[CakeWalker]

see when it used to be on here

 

[CakeWalker]

you vote to evict

 

[CakeWalker]

but the guests nominate who is up for eviction

 

[Butters]

that was how the first few seasons were

 

[Butters]

at least the first one for sure. they all voted for who they wanted to be evicted privately and whoever had the top 2 votes were put up and the america voted who they wanted to evict.

 

[Butters]

now they have a contest every week for "head of household" and that winner picks to people to put up and the house votes who they want gone.

 

[Butters]

they also have a "Power of Veto" competition that the two nominees, HOH, and 3 other house guests play in and whoever wins taht has the option to take one of them down and the head of household has to replace them with someone else.

i tried watching one a season of the us, but yeah the format was too different
