Do you prefer BB6 or BB7 and why?

It's a hard one for me as they are my two favourite series and both had great characters but I will go with BB6 - it is far more consistent in terms of drama plus the tasks in 6 are alot better, as are the twists - my favourite twist ever being lie week. In BB6 something happened near enough everyday, BB7 did get boring at times in the second half of the series though (the brilliant first half makes up for it though).

BB6 probably had less deadwood than 7 too, the only dull HM in 6 was Eugene but in 7 there were actually a fair few.

[Vicky.]

BB6. It never really got boring. BB7 died halfway through.

[Patrick]

BB6.

Will never understand the love for BB7 - it's purely down to nostalgia, 2006 was a fantastic year and people can't put it behind them.

If they did, they'd realise the housemates were sh*t and the series itself was nothing special.

BB6 was fantastic from start to finish as Vicky said, and the housemates were superb.

[Samm]

BB6. I have not watched BB6 since 2005 I am going to watch it all again after I finish watching CBB3.

[LikeABoatOnWater]

BB6 of course.
The only reason BB7 has such a following is because it was the first season to air in the 9pm primetime slot and hence is a lot of peoples first season.

[Daniel.]

Well I only watched BB7 for the first time last year so for me liking BB7 has nothing to do with time slot.

I just thought Grace, Nikki, Aisleyne, Lea and a few others were great housemates who provided a lot - plus the first half of the series was BB gold with all the stuff going on.

Ultimately though I agree the second half got dull in parts and BB6 was better.

alol you're the exact same way about BB9 though.

Anyways, BB7 for me. BB6 took too long for things to heat up and for an actual storyline to develop, the first three weeks or so were just baseless arguments which are only good to some degree. BB7, especially the first six weeks, was amazing from a narrative perspective.

Hardly? I love alot of series - BB9 just happens to be my favourite, for many reasons.

BB9 isn't over rated. BB7 clearly is.

[Gstar]

BB6, no question.

2005 nostalgia > 2006 nostalgia

A lot of people love a lot of series, and BB7 just happens to be a lot of people's favorite for many reasons. You act the exact same way about BB9 that you criticize people for acting about BB7.

[LemonJam]

the first couple of weeks of BB7 were great and probably amongst the best starters for a series, but it died down and had some really dull characters whereas BB6 really was the gift that kept on giving and everyone played a decent part in the series as a whole.

[Shaun]

BB7 had the best first fortnight. Shahbaz's meltdown, Dawn's weird rulebreaks, Sezer's eviction, BONNEH~, the Brotherhood resulting in two bores being up for eviction

but then came the pointless addition of housemates: Jayne, Jennie, Michael and Spiral were terrible additions (however I liked Jennie, she didn't do anything). And bringing back evictees. It just tried too hard. Sam and Aisleyne were good additions though, and the tasks were pretty good on the whole. Just a couple too many boring "pretty" people (Imogen, Mikey).

[Patrick]

Jennie and Spiral I always had a soft spot for Jennie even if she was a dullard - glad I'm not alone on that Shaun.

I find your weird obsession and bullying of me, quite annoying.

Stop it now.

I think the first month of BB7 is actually the best chunk of BB ever not just the first fortnight but I see your point about it going downhill with the HND - Only Jennie and Jayne were good additions.

I always liked Imogen though and wouldn't consider her boring.

It was 10 times better than BB8 and arguably the last good series on Channel 4, that's why it stands out.

I agree with all this, the male HND'ers were awful. The series died quite a bit from then until Grace and co returned, which unlike others I thought was a great twist (ex-HM back in).

I loved the HM return twist too. Grace, Nikki and Lea made the series (along with Ash) so it was so good seeing them return. No idea why Mikey was voted back though, he left a few days before and hated how he was all friendly with Ash before he left then bitched about her in the HND. Should of been Jayne, Lisa or even Susie - her and Grace in the same house after the water throwing would of been brilliant.

[Macie Lightfoot]

It wouldn't have been that brilliant because Grace would've just bitched about her behind her back but then say nothing to her face. Corinne Kaplans to the left.

I wanted to see Sam or Lisa back instead of Mikey but I guess out of the males available he was the most appropriate

Sorry to drag an old thread up but I've added a poll to this now
