I saw Jorge Furtado (Brazilian writer/director) at a screening of 'O Homem que Copiava,' one of my favorite films, and in the question-and-answer period he mentioned Big Brother. First, he asked the translator 'tem Big Brother aqui nos EUA?' He joked about the absurdity of watching normal people doing normal things and taking some pleasure in it: [mimicking fans of the show] "Eles estão realmente comendo uma pizza?!?!" Hey, Jorge can't write *every* tv show in Brazil after all!

Hey, Jorge can’t write *every* tv show in Brazil after all!

Big Brother is around the world -- it's the most profitable show anywhere. CBS.com lets viewers watch previous Big Brother USA episodes free. It would be nice if the Brazil episodes were available online too (not interested in the live feed). To Isabella– It’s not just Brazil that’s copying this show.

I don't understand why Brazilians have this urge to copy everything that's foreigner (read American). We have come up in the past with good shows like TV Pirata, Os Normais, Regina Casé's stuf, Cassete & Planeta, etc. But Brazil being Brazil, everything tends to be downleveled (can I say that?) to match people's low expecations... And who can blame them? Too bad... I actually know someone who pays for the stuff! I don’t understand why Brazilians have this urge to copy everything that’s foreigner (read American).
