I've actually been following the US version this year for work reasons, and it's been surprisingly interesting. It's interesting to follow along with the Twitter comments too, some very amusing discussions on there (Ronnie's wife has been posting a lot for example). With my multi-monitor setup from when I was gambling FT I can stick the quad-fees on a screen and leave them running, it makes good background noise.
I don't know whether this thread is supposed to be TV-time or Feed-Time so I'll avoid spoilers on the late night stuff from this afternoon (European time) but Lydia reminds me of a good friend of mine from University, I can't stand Natalie, Jessie seems a bit of a snake, and the whole Jessie/Lydia/Natalie thing is very confusing. I have another couple of weeks where it's directly related to work, and whether I follow it after that I think will depend on whether Lydia stays, as she's really the only one I can empathise with (which is one of the hypothesis for why reality TV shows work -- people find a character they can empathise with and follow the show vicariously through that character -- it's also why most versions of BB around the world let the public vote people out; if the majority of the public like person A, evicting them is bad for ratings).
In TV-Time, Jessie wants to save Ronnie, Natalie and Lydia hate each others guts (because they both want Jessie, despite Nat's insistence she has a boyfriend). Lydia at the moment will do anything to protect Jessie, but Nat is going to encourage him to put her up, which massively helps Nat's game and leaves Jessie with Nat as his only ally. What actually happens we should know in about 15 hours.
