I think I'm going to attempt watching all the BBUK seasons like I did with Survivor. I figure this time I'll make my own thread too since it's a lot of seasons to get through and it's also a better way to avoid spoilers.

This is as good a time as any to do some full cast/season rankings since it'll be easiest to update this one season at a time.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Oh no.

BB1 is actually great and holds up suuuuuper well, especially the first half. It's super quick to watch too. It's an important milestone like Borneo is in Survivor.

I'm not expecting that to be a selling point considering we were just going back and forth about ****ing Sue Hawk but hey, I made my bitch. This is my truth.

[Jack_]

lol I can't believe I'm excited for someone to watch BBUK, I never normally would be, probs cause you always said you wouldn't

I've not seen the early series so I can't comment on those but my personal recommendation would be that you at least start with one from the ~golden era~, so 5, 6 or 7. Pretty much the entire fandom considers BBUK to be at its peak (production/quality wise) through those years so! You should definitely watch a C4 series before anymore C5 ones, that's for sure

[JerseyWins]

Ok I think I'm going to start with 5 because I looked up Victor Ebuwa and I feel like reece might be right that I'll be stanning him lol.

Then I'll probably go back to 1-4 afterwards if I stick through it all so something similar to what I did with my Survivor watch.

Are there no All Stars seasons btw?

[Jason.]

Every series from BB6-onwards feels modern and holds up pretty well imo. BB1-4 are the old school series and they do feel somewhat dated, but I'd still recommend BB1 and BB3, especially 3. Avoid BB4.

I'd agree with starting with one of the golden era series first though, as you might find BB1 a bit boring.

There's Ultimate Big Brother, which was our version of All Stars, although it was only three weeks long and it aired as a special before C4 axed the show. Returnees aren't really a big thing in BBUK as they are in BBUS.

They did one called Ultimate Big Brother when the show came to an end on C4, the winner of BB11 (the last civilian series) was immediately sent back into the house and then they filled it with both ex-civilian and celebrity housemates. It lasted 18 days and is IMO quite an underrated series

The only time there's been returnees since is for tasks/twists, and for an All Stars/New Stars series of CBB the January just gone

[reece(:]

Jersey the newest Jungle Cats stan

[Jack_]

lol maybe I should finally take the opportunity to watch BB5 while someone else is




















But I won't

[Jason.]

Great choice with BB5, I think you'd really enjoy that one. It has an intense house divide, an overall likable cast with everyone contributing and there's quite a bit of gameplay too, which is ideal for someone who's used to the BBUS format.

[Macie Lightfoot]

yeah Jersey is gonna go nuts for Victor and Ahmed.

And for whatever my two cents are worth (probably nothing), I think that BB1 is a much much better springboard into old school BBUK than BB3 is.

are there people that still don't know this? I started watching from BB6 and planned to watch the series I hadn't seen when C4 axed it but then C5 saved ha, probably won't be long till I get the chance to do it again tho!

[Macie Lightfoot]

Also if you're afraid of spoilers, I think some things get spoiled during BB10 bc they do a tenth anniversary task (even though it was the ninth anniversary ffs) and bring back HMs each day and **** like that.

Actually excited for it, might be starting tonight/soon. (even though I planned on catching up / finishing CBB20 first)

Might have to skip that one then

[Jason.]

BB10 is crap anyway.

[Macie Lightfoot]

yeah you wouldn't be missing much, 10's a ****ing slog.

[Jack_]

I am lowkey tempted lol but then I also cba

btw *unpopular opinion alert* BB10 is one of the most underrated series of BBUK and I actually think it's one you'd enjoy! But several others you need to watch first

[Macie Lightfoot]

oh yeah I don't doubt Jersey would enjoy 10

[JerseyWins]

Yeah I was thinking this

might just mean it's a must watch.

[Jason.]

I'm expecting Jersey to share Babayaro's opinions, so while I'm kinda excited to hear his thoughts, I'll probably end up hounding him because I'm intolerant towards opinions that differ from mine

[JerseyWins]

Starting.

- WHAT IS THIS HOST?
- Lol @ them putting Marco & Ahmed in as the first two after we get a video of Ahmed saying he's a homophobe. Ahmed seems pretty funny though.
- WTF. Jason's entrance attire

Hound away tbh Then I'll know that my opinion is justified.

Emma began hosting the main show in 2013. Davina was the host during the C4 years. She's great though, better than Emma. You'll get used to her, she's hilarious.

And lmao Ahmed (a refugee who hates gays) being thrown in after Marco (a homosexual who hates refugees) was the moment that actually got me into BBUK. The casting during those series were way better than what we get now because they just put in a bunch of strong, unique personalities that were guaranteed to clash.

[JerseyWins]

Ohhh yeahhh, Victor is probably going to be great!

I prefer her over Emma already actually. Oh and I didn't even catch that Marco hates refugees.
