Title speaks for itself. If these series took place in a time when people actually cared about big brother, which would’ve been the biggest hit?

[Tony Montana]

13, 14 or 17

[Tony Montana]

13- 6

14- 7

17- 5

[Babayaro.]

13, 14 or 19.

With 19s production, 13 or 17.

Imo from most likely to be popular to least

Bb17: surprisingly so many memorable and standout moments for a c5 civ series. Surprisingly iconic! Did slow down a bit after certain housemates got evicted but apart from one or two series which others haven’t?

Bb13: one of the series that was engaging while watching and had a lot of standout moments too. At times felt like a golden age series!

Bb14: shockingly got the highest ratings out of all the c5 series. Idr why but imo a middle of the road series that was slow at times but had shocking and controversial moments and iconic lines.

Bb12: not too many iconic or standout moments, can’t really make THAT much of a case for it but was good at times!

Bb18: feel like this could’ve either been one of the biggest series or the catalyst for the downfall of big brother. With the popularity of some of the more trashier reality shows as they get a uk counterpart I can see the appeal and it’s a personal guilty pleasure. Plenty of shocking moments too, tho there were a few awful weeks.

Bb15: either it was forgettable or it involved Helen and she wasn’t memorable for the right reasons (for the most part). Guess it really depended whether people wanted to get invested in the Helen vs Ashleigh storyline, and considering how polarising the final vote was maybe? Other than that not much going for this series

Bb16 and bb19: lmao either of these airing would spell the death of big brother. Both unappealing for the exact opposite reasons.

Great breakdown I agree with every word

Don't think BB17 would've been popular when nearly all of them had been on telly or in the press before.

15 bc it just is easily the best

The entire thing would've looked completely different had it been taken years earlier so hard to say.

[armand.kay]

defo 14, even on c5 the gp loved it. while it’s not the best imo, it had a good mix of villains and nice people also people would’ve ate up Gina’s redemption arc

[CiaraNelly2000]

BB17 (2004)
BB13 (2005)
BB14 (2006)
BB18 (2007)


That’s where in my opinion they all fit

[brat.]

14, had the best balance of a good mix of normal people, entertainment and minimal production manipulation
