They're virtually the same. I mean there's little differences like the lights on top and the six podiums vs one, but it's not enough for me to favor one over the other.

I have to say that both sets have some elements that I like tbh! The video floor outline and the monitor stands on the UK set, the round barriers and the lines above the audience on the US set... I gotta say, I find the 'normal' version of them a bit difficult to compare because we never got to see the US set with an audience which makes it look kinda empty. But from what we could see, also regarding the audience replacement in 2020/21 (more lines in the US, screens in the UK), I prefer the UK set. Nothing beats the original (most times, at least)!

I think the UK revival set is a bit more polished, compared to the US one. While I did like some of the changes, the rounded-edge "Ring of Fire" walls being a huge one, it still looks a bit unfinished. The gaps between the LED-strips kinda bother me, and you can see the monitors that make up the video floor, whereas the UK version makes it less noticeable by using smaller ones. And if we're going by who handled COVID better, the curved screens in the UK, IMO, looked more appealing than the bands over here.

Quite a tricky choice for me really. Being more used to the UK set makes me swayed towards what has greater personal familiarity. But since it's evident how both the UK and US sets share a similar core design (with only subtle differences), it's hard to choose one over the other. I do agree how the audience is such an integral part to the show. As Fimoku said, WWTBAM does feel rather empty without people watching and interacting (compared to a Mastermind style, which is very different). That was also apparent in the UK show during the height of the pandemic, where they ended up using two Phone A Friend lifelines instead of ATA. In terms of the modern set though, the LED panels and the centre screen give styling options which weren't previously possible in the classical sets. That said, I still tend to believe each set is possible to appreciate in its own right, especially with being developed in contrasting eras.

I admit that between one and the other, I don't see much difference, it's almost the same as kplewisvox says, but then there are small details as some have said, for my part my difference will be on the light colors, I see that the blue is more on the US set and the dark purple on the UK studio. I admit all the same that I "prefer" not the studios reboot of the two versions, but that of the Portuguese hot seat 2020 version, due to the fact that they added a screen-circle at the top and the fact that they put colors related to the hot seat format. and also from the Israeli 2020 version (which copied the same color environment of the American version but added the audience, and the computer which is almost the same as the British version) |

I really love those two extra lights they put in the entrance on the US version. They made the lights down effect more dramatic. I also appreciate that they completed the rings around the top without any gaps.
Both sets are great, but I give a slight edge to the US version.

I prefer the Uk set it looks more warm and completed. I just wish Usa had Fastest finger and An audience.
Out of all the modern sets i like South Africa and Romania (Mixture of old and new)

On the one hand, I can agree with greekmillionairefans!
Well, both of them were designed for big audience, but after the pandemic, the US tudio got empty and they didn't even have a Fastest Finger First round which made it even more empty. Meanwhile, in the UK they kept the FFF up and during the pandemic they just shut the show down.
But on the other hand, I more appreciate the US Olga because in my opinion the logo and the colors are providing me the mysterious vibe more than the UK Olga. I didn't watch all the US shows cuz it was hard to regard in Hungary but some of them reached us and it was more exciting for me than the UK Edition.
So, in conclusion, it is hard to have a decision about this topic but I would give it up for the US set.

The UK and USA doesn't use Olga's branding it uses the Potion Pictures branding (Which I like more than the Olga ones) |
