I hated that show ever since Big Brother 1. Do they even show it in the United states?

No offense though, keep enjoying your show.

How would we be able to watch it if it wasn't in the United States? ;)

And to be honest the first season was definitely the worst. It's much better now.

I always felt that Big Brother tried to mooch off of the success of Survivor (which also got lame after about the 3rd season)

Those are more or less my sentiments, they are all a waste of television air time... though they all take from the first "reality" show and the grandaddy whinefest that was/is... Mtv's, "The Real World".

Yeah, we watched it - or my wife watched it and I happened to be sitting in the same room.

Think it will be interesting to see the drama play out between the old hippie dad and the daughter that wants nothing to do with him.
