Celebrity Big Brother 2011-2018 Rankdown

Welcome to my Channel 5 era CBB rankdown; essentially it’s just going to be a ranking of each series from worst to best, from CBB8 all the way up to 22 with a write up for each.

I’ve decided not to include Channel 4 CBBs, only because my memory is pretty hazy, I haven’t seen 1 + 2, and I haven’t watched 4, 6 and 7 since they first aired.

So yeah, watch this space I guess

Ever since I made that unfinished CBB rank, I've always wanted more threads like this to exist

you have a lot of bad series to deal with

An extreme amount! And lots of different types of “bad” too from boring to uncomfortable

We need to find a loophole for John and Jackie!

If CBB3 was being included, it’d be extremely high

[Tony Montana]

Here for a top 5 of 9, 13, 15, 17 And 19

So, let’s get the ball rolling with our first series to be culled...

15th Place: Celebrity Big Brother 20 (2017)

Most are probably going to disagree with me on this one, I’m sure. I’d imagine that the majority are probably of the same opinion in regards to series 20; boring, dull, tiresome with no real standout moments (a couple of showmances aside), but to place it at the bottom of the pile?! Seriously?!? Well, I’ve ranked it last for those exact reasons; it’s a “nothing” of a series.

First things first, I don’t hate this series like I do a couple of others in this rankdown. 20 was completely inoffensive in comparison to, say, 18 (which you’ll be hearing about very soon) but I just can’t rank this series anything other than last. Nothing about 20 evokes an emotion. It was mundane, with nightly episodes being no different from the last. The “big” characters weren’t even much of note and they certainly weren’t series saving. -Rumoured for 5 years- Barry from Eastenders did nothing (launch night task aside, and the less said about that, the better), Karthik showed potential but was gone far too quickly, Trisha was a bit of a dick yet didn’t actually do an awful lot in terms of being a decent housemate, the JAM nonsense was tripe.. You can see where I’m going here. Sarah was a mess and a pretty good one at that, but she was lost on a series with not much else going on.

There was a spark of hope with Brandi vs Sandi, which turned out to be as short lived as the fire drill caused by Paul Danan. Boring highlights coupled with arguably the worst & most damaging eviction order in the shows history equates to a pretty poor series if you ask me.

Nominated: CBB8 | CBB9 | CBB10 | CBB11 | CBB12 | CBB13 | CBB14 | CBB15 | CBB16 | CBB17 | CBB18 | CBB19 | CBB21 | CBB22

Evicted: CBB20

CBB20 is my least favourite C5 series too, good choice for first out :clap1;

[Tony Montana]

It was so boring and a complete snoozefest.

[Daniel.]

I didnt mind it, Jemma saved it

Jemma deserved a winter series. I whish she had been in CBB19.

[Matthew.]

Like at least CBB18 gave us Renee, CBB20 was just meh

Sarah and Jemma were the only good things to come out of it.

[Matthew.]

Our Chad >>>

[Epic.]

Pretty much agree with everything said, but surely CBB18 is out next? I'd take something boring and mundane every night with small glimpses of hope than something that's just gonna painfully infuriate me start to finish

[Tony Montana]

Yeah CBB18 out next please

[brat.]

21 is THE worst get her OUT

[Elliot]

21 is way worse than this lololol at least we had chad and miss Sarah!

[Tony Montana]

21 is trash but not the worst.

If I had to rank the 5 worst C5 CBB's of all time.

1. 18
2. 8
3. 20
4. 21
5. 11

20 and 21 are interchangeable for me.

This would be mine except i'd do a different order of 18 --> 21 --> 20 --> 8 --> 11 with 8 & 11 being interchangeable for me

I put 8 2nd because at least 20 had a few arguments and the messy showmance between Chad and Sarah, and 21 had that messy first week with India. 8 had zero conflict at all and had to rely on a love triangle showmance. It extremely boring.

I can't even rewatch that crap.

[Epic.]

I also think CBB21 is slightly worse, at least in the boring department. There really were no amazing housemates even though it had an even bigger cast than CBB20
