"He doesn't say please, he doesn't say thank you." Yeah, it's
Survivor, British-style. A natural leader with survival experience emerges, gets his tribe organised, and is promptly voted out in the quietest of revolutions. My American girlfriend, who'd watched Colby marshal his people through the Outback season, is visibly gobsmacked. ("I really couldn't do psychology in this country.") Different levels of
power distance at work?

Big Brother, around the world... Like
Survivor, it started in Holland and Germany, then spread across continental Europe, and finally to the UK and USA. And like
Millionaire, the duplication of the format is a good way of distinguishing cultural differences. The British version seems more candid than its American cousin, in keeping with Channel 4's character; it's also a lot less chummy. Anyone else keeping track of the two different houses?
