it is much more interesting and there is more game play. and having 3 days a week reduces the boring filler things and it is a much better format. they can't edit it to get the public to vote a particular way because the houseguest evict.Why?

But the concept of BB is to be cut off from the outside world, having the public choose who they like and dislike is a contradiction. Besides boring people like Ben and annoying people like tim stay whilst fiery personalities get bootedBut then there is no audience interaction which is a BB staple. BBUS is very much the inmates running the asylum compared to other BB's around the world.

If you going with that reasoning, then the concept of BB is also to answer to a higher authority and do what BB says and seeing HM's that abide get rewarded and those that defy get punished... BBUS doesn't do that so that's not true to the BB concept as well is it not?
Which is good. The strategising, alliances and challenges are, mostly, really boring, and the don't happen organically on BBUS. If there are any strategies used, it's done in a deceiving and masterful way, whereas everyone in the US version just grabs someone and says "yo, let's be an alliance". There's nothing interesting about it IMHO.But the US Big Brother has strategising, alliances, challenges, etc. So a lot more content, than just regular talking (like our one) – which doesn't appear much in the show at all.

We've had that since 2005, essentially. It's just changed a lot. They're similar but no way are they the same.I like how so many people are anti-this, yet BBAU 2013 had some components of the USA game.
Showdown was the Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions combined, with the winner:
- getting their own luxury room (though only for a night and not the entire week)
- able to remove any nominee they wanted from the threat of eviction (PoV-holder responsibility)
- able to name a replacement nominee (HoH responsibility)
Other than the nominations/eviction system and the ban on strategising, what was actually different?
The ban on alliances makes the biggest different IMO. You are right last year the swap n save was very similar to us bb, but because there was no outright strategy the show remained firmly on the more traditional bb format side.I like how so many people are anti-this, yet BBAU 2013 had some components of the USA game.
