Who's 'Big Brother' is most boring? The Brits prize is "only" $105,000, but any sex they have will be videotaped. Is their show more boring than ours? How does it compare to the Spanish and German ones?

I'm from the country where the whole Big Brother craze started, and I guess the problem just lies in both cultural differences and silly network execs. Big Brother is now a McDonalds style franchise and the brits selling those videos is just their version of the dutch McVegitarian burger or the McEuro2000 (ick, btw).

They're fucking up with Big Brother for 2 reasons:
1) cultural differences
2) changing things.

I mean, you dont mess with McDonalds Big Mac toppings do you?
