I suppose it's an obvious statement, but we all know that Americans are born ready for the razzmatazz of TV and showbiz, and therefore the show's format is ideal for them, but what makes the extra difference between the two nations is...wait for it... the women. Yes, I hate to give the Yanks credit for anything, but their ladies generally seem to be much harder/fitter/more driven (in the way only Americans are) than the female contestants over here are, making the competition much more interesting to watch. So when you then compare it to the English version, the ladies section seems to be something that you tolerate until the men compete again.
It's funny, in a way, that people in Britain always talk about our programme formats working over there, but this is an example of how maybe sometimes it's the other way round.
I'm sorry to say it, but I think i'll be watching the American version in future.
