(AP Photo) Tonight Big Brother 6 premieres, adding to an already crowded summer lineup with 28 other reality series. While international versions of the show are a big hit, it's been a bit of a flop in the U.S. In countries like Bulgaria and Romania, Big Brother faces no other competition. Other small countries, like Sweden and Norway, have joined forces to create regional versions of the show to draw larger audiences. More populous countries, like the United Kingdom and Australia, have enjoyed at least five seasons of successful programs. Africa even aired a continental version of the series, which amassed a wide following. Big Brother may not be the most popular reality series in the U.S., but one thing's for sure: The Big Brother franchise is a hit around the world. Suggested Sites... Gran Hermano del Pacífico - contestants from Chile, Ecuador, and Peru are about a month into their regional competition. Big Brother Thailand - Thai competitors are halfway through their battle to win the prize. Big Brother Germany - German contestants are nearing the end of their stay at the Big Brother house.
