[quote=ILoveBBUK;105469]Noirin has been evicted with 60% of the vote [/quote]
Geez, what are all the bile spewing haters going to do now?
Well, there is Isaac...
[QUOTE=SteveSparxx;105488]Well then, this gives me a reason not to follow this thread anymore. Especially If Isaac is now gone, like Noirin says he will leave.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. If Isaac goes, that will be the end for me.

Well they are obviously doing something right if it is the most successful Big Brother in the world

Haha...there are reality shows on niche cable channels in the US that get more viewers than BB UK. ;)
I have a feeling Big Brother in the US pulls more viewers then most of the other Big Brothers combined (but, I could be wrong.) There isn't a Big Brother China now is there? Oh...never mind...
I guess BB UK viewers find a person who looks like he rarely shaves as well as looks like the "outdoorsman" better for tv than a nice, attractive Dublin woman.

Relative to the population of the UK it get the most views, plus BB10 is the 19 season, spain comes second with 12
BBUS gets 5m BBUK get 3m, multiply 3 by 5 to get it relative to the US and thats 15m
The UK may not love you but Vevmo always will Isaac & Noirin!
Someone give them their own show! Isaac will bring the funny as always and I could watch Noirin read the dictionary.

Big Brother averages closer to 6-7 million in the US and from what I can see in the UK it is [URL="http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/07/28/u-k-s-big-brother-losing-steam/23776"]averaging around 2 million viewers[/URL]. That being said, advertisers don't seem to use the same formula that you use when calculating what they are going to pay for a given time slot, so I am quite sure Big Brother in the US is much more financially successful than any of the other Big Brothers - just because it reaches a wider audience. Not to mention the 600,000 internet subscribers paying $15 a month to watch the feeds (they canceled them in the UK because of lack of interest) and weekly product placements from major sponsors.
I guess it is all in the definition of success.
Being greedy capitalistic folds like we are, $uccess in America is spelled with a dollar sign. :D
maybe your right, but still if you want pure entertainment watch BBUK, if you want a week cut up into small pieces and sprinkled over the TV like confetti watch BBUSA
[B]BTW:[/B] I forgot to add that BB11 runs in Canada as well. That is worth at least another ratings point!
Anyway, I don't mean to be a cocky American ILOVEBBUK. You have brought joy to our lives with Big Brother UK updates and commentary, if only for a fleeting week.

Actually, here you have a choice.
1. You can watch the thrice weekly broadcast.
2. You can watch the live 24/7 feeds.
3. You can watch the nightly live broadcasts on Showtime.
So there is an ample opportunity to see the show in an amateur format ala Channel 4's network broadcast if that is what you prefer. Or you can watch the highly produced version on CBS.
I can't believe I am defending Big Brother US. This season sucks. I'd kill for a Noirin or Isaac.
Anyway...

.......It sucks ever since Casey aka Banana Man left.
Here's the video of Noirin getting evicted:

And that ends my short lived interested in BBUK. I don't even watch BBUS, but for Isaac I had to.
[QUOTE=ILoveBBUK;105524]BBUK Forever :P
Anyway it's been nice knowing you all, but its time for me to head off into the sunset. Goodbye all[/QUOTE]
Well gosh you don't have to leave! :)
