I got this from a big brother website, I am not sure what to think of it i think it could be interesting.

There is much speculation over in America about BBUK and BB USA doing a housemate swap! From a source working for a major news company over in the US, BigBrotk has learnt that next years Big Brother could be very different!

A transcontinental-version of the show MAY BE in planning (although it's not clear whether this will be next series or the series after) - giving us two houses - one in the UK and one stateside. Each house will have twelve housemates in each - 6 Americans and 6 Brits. The US house functions under US rules and the UK house under UK rules. At a certain point in the competition housemates will "swap" houses! Now that does sound interesting!

Another rumour flying around in the States is that a contestant from the UK version of the show will move in to the LA house as a competitor! Now that would be interesting! Apparently that's why Channel 4 is broadcasting BBUS on E4 in preparation for the grand entrance!
BigBrotk will keep you updated with all the news from BB UK and BBUSA!

I did read on one of these discussions that someone from the UK BB is touring the states now and may make a surprise visit to the BB US house. I don't remember his name but I think they were complaining that all he did was sleep and cook?

What is E4?

E4 is a cable/satellite only sister station of Channel 4 (one of the five normal broadcast channels). When BBUK is on, E4 shows live transmission from the BB house for several hours during the night.

To be accurate, E4 transmits live UKBB for something like 22 hours a day, but if you 'go interactive' with your tv remote you can watch 24/7 (apart from advert breaks).

Hhhhhmmm... It would be like that one season of "Real World" in England.

If there were two houses at the same time, to watch feeds on, I'd get into that!
