What I couldn't stand about BB9

[iRyan]

Was the Darnell/Mo/Rachel/Mikey/Kathreya/etc group. They were so fake and calculated and thinking they were the fan favorites because they penned themselves as being outcasts. They're reaction to Kathreya's eviction was annoying and overdramatic as **** and it's hilarious how much Kathreya thought she was going to win and how she said 'Please don't take anymore of my friends away Big Brother!!!' and 3 seconds later Davina says 'Kathreya, you have been evicted' and she got a look of shock and horror on her face lmfao.

Thank god for Sara who was the saving grace of BB9. And Rex. Two people that were honest and genuine.

[Jords]

Rex was a twat, he wasnt 'honest' just liked to stir trouble (which is good for BB, but he was still a twat).

Sara on the other hand :love:

[Locke.]

They were the best thing about it.

[Jordan.]

Agreed.

The show died after Luke and Bex went because they were the only ones who could see through them.

Mo, Darnell, Rex, Mario, Coolio > Everyone else from every series combined

Horrible taste you've got. Especially your liking for Mo who is one of the most boring and lazy housemates in Big Brother history and didn't add a damn thing to the show.

Agree with every single letter. BB9 could have been great if that group had forced there way to the final by evicting the entertaining housemates.

[CharlieO]

Mo, Darnel, Rachel and Kat. Kill me now i hated them. Lisa or sarah should have won.

Just finished bb9 2 weeks ago. once bex and co got evicted it got so boring. Darnell is my least favourite HM of all time.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Mo contributed nothing! Rex made me laugh AT mo, but Mo himself was an atrocious housemate

[Beastie]

Mo was quite irrelevant. Apart from he was the victim in Spitgate.

I think Kat was the most calculating. lol. I think they all are to an extent.

The week Bex was evicted.. Mo should have gone.

It should have been a proper fight between the whispers and B Block right to the end.

Imagine if Luke and Rachel were the final 2. And Rachel announced the winner. Luke stood right next to her. LMAO. It would have been more hilarious than when Luke was allowed to "chip in" his little say during Rachel's winners interview. LOL

[Stu]

Well it was sort of groups within groups. Rex, Darnell and Mo were fine. Mo did nothing but the other two were fantastic and the 'lads' of the series. The fact that Kat and Rachel and them were friends with them doesn't change that IMO.

The rest were by far the bigger bitches, especially when they had the numbers and thought they had the popularity near that start. Just like series 7 and 10.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Yeah, the public got rid of Bex as she was entertaining, and kept the bore to float basically to the end.
Lisa>Rex>Sara>Stephanie>Rest>Rachel>Mo

Nadia didn't add a damn thing to Big Brother 5.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Nadia didn't add a damn thing to Big Brother 5.

from what I watched Michelle, Victor and Marco and Emma!were the entertaining ones but i watched like 10 episodes

[ILoveTRW]

Nadia didn't add a damn thing to Big Brother 5.

Nadia was always screaming at someone

[Patrick]

God half of you people don't know what you're talking about.

Big Brother 9 was great from start to the semi final regardless of what anyone says - the final was a disgrace obviously but the final week wasn't as bad as most final weeks are.

I often find long series go in 'chapters' so at the start we had:

Sylvia, Alex, Dennis, Jennifer
Mario, Lisa, Luke

As the series went on abit:

Luke, Bex, Dale, Stu
Rex, Mo, Darnell ~ B Block 9 was born.


Then of course through the weeks, the Whisper Club kept loosing members and that - but B Block stayed strong.
I hate how people count Kat, Mikey and Rachel as B-Blockers - they aren't.

They're friends of Darnell and Rex.

Point being - the 'whisper club' kept BB9 interesting and entertaining with their bitching, arguing and that.

When they died of - B Block kept it together.

I loved Bex and Luke; infact I also liked Stu and Dale aswell - they were all hilarious but saying the series died when they left is bollocks.

Rachel, Mikey and Kat never should of gotten as far as they did.

Rachel - was a boring Welsh old lady who should of drowned in the pool.
Mikey - was a dull blind Scottish prat who thought his rants were funny.
Kat -was a fat chubby Tai disgrace who thought she had the show in the bag.


The OP is wrong, B Block weren't some big bitchy group - the other group were.
And even so, what's wrong with it?

It's a game show, playing the game is what it's all about; The only thing that would of made this series better [other than having a different final] would be if Rex and Darnell were like Jason and Victor and game planned abit more.

[CharlieO]

God half of you people don't know what you're talking about.



This. Ive just watched it and the everyone gets the b-blockers and whisperers mixed up just because the hell/heaven thing made everyone forget and get confused.

[Smithy]

It's all opinion get off your high horse

[Doogle]

Anyone got links to BB9? Really wanna watch this (even though I already plan to watch BB7 and BB10 after BB3 :laugh: ) so I can see if it was that bad.

I have it on DVD but I remember it's on YouTube - use a proxy and type in 'Big Brother 2008 UK' or just DirtyMonkey151 and it'll be there, It might be out of sync/low quality though.

Here's Day 1 though in good quality:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47wDjI7dDmA&feature=channel_video_title

TBH, You should watch BB7 Yeah - but watch BB9 before BB10.
Big Brother 9 is a far better series; watching 2 series will be like 'overdose' in a way lol - you'll be half way through BB10 when CBB8 begins.

But yeah man; give BB9 a go - really good series.

Ah thank you! :D :dance: Low Quality isn't a problem seeing as my internet is so slow anyway, if anything it helps.

I'm gonna finish BB3, move on to BB7 and if I have time I'll watch BB9 but I highly doubt I can squeeze in that much before August unless my internet connection speeds up. :joker:

[Marsh.]

I think I remember really detesting Mo and Darnell by the end. Especially Mo.

Rex could be a twat, Bex and Luke were fake etc but there was something vile and disgusting (can't remember why) about MO that made me feel sick everytime he was on screen.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Well i really liked Lisa and obviously she was very popular considering she got the best reception of the whole series

['Conor]

it was amazing up until Bex was evicted.

Yes I agree with most of this Paddy.

Kat should have been evicted earlier on. But her eviction was one of the best evictions ever. It was still a good final. We had 4 entertaining housemates in the final. And Rachel. Just wish the likes of Luke and Bex lasted longer. Suppose people would get fed up and they could have ended up in bed together the last remaining weeks. lol. Maybe it was best to get rid of one of them. But Stupid Luke got "depressed" all week after Bex left.. then he was evicted :nono: If he lightened up a bit.. he could have stayed. I know it was a bit hated at this point but he could have still turned it around.

[Patrick]

Oh yeah that's another thing [Beastie Reminded Me].

iRyan, Wtf?
'Their reactions to Kat's eviction was Annoying and OTT'.

It wasn't annoying at all?
OTT Yes - but it was one of the greatest moments in Big Brother History to see how they reacted, and God they reacted amazingly in terms of Entertaiment.


I remember the night she got the boot - hilarious.

[Doogle]

-has actually seen Kat's eviction thanks to YouTube-

LOL it was hilarious watching her cry her eyes out as she was dressed like that.

[CharlieO]

Kats eviction i was literally so happy the drama was incredible. I was like shaking with excitement.

[Beastie]

Kat was hated when she was evicted. But it wasn't a long term hate.

BB has been on for 11 years now. The major boos and cheers have to bloody remain. Housemates have to have a tough skin and ge through it all. Once you are out you are not as hated as you was in the house.

BB9 became unpredictable. Rachel.. an unpredictable winner. Because usually the winner does something. Stands up to people. Has a storyline. Rachel didn't really do any of this. Or maybe she did but was very much under the radar.

I know Anthony and Cameron were classed as "boring" winners too. However BB4 was quite a boring series. *Although I still think it was better than bb10 and 11.*

Anthony was part of storylines. And in a group with Craig, Maxwell and Saskia.

I think after bb9 because things changed so much.. that in BB10 and BB11 people couldn't really guess what would be evicted and were not shocked if they went.

Apart frm Hira who was shocked. Well I wasn't. But she probably though she was hated because she thought it was still a vote to evict.

After BB9 BB pissed around a lot more with the voting system but failed.

[MeMyselfAndI]

My mum thought and wanted Kat to win, I hated her, i laughed when she went as my mum was really sad :laugh2:. I wanted Rex to win the final, but Lisa was my favourite

[Beastie]

People may think Kat's eviction was OTT. Because people arelaughing that she cried. When I watched it at the time I had a mixed reaction. I thought I felt a bit bad for her crying. I sort of had nervous laughs as well. It was just a great moment of TV. It's life. We ALL have moments where we just cry. I am sure Kat soon got over it. Her interview was fine with Davina after the initial "shock" and I don't think she complained to Ofcom about the way she was treated. But she was treated fine. The audience deserve to cheer and boo as much as they want. Please.. no bloody music ruining the moment when a housemate is evicted. Too effing PC. If people are offended easily.. SWITCH OFF.

[Beastie]

My mum thought and wanted Kat to win, I hated her, i laughed when she went as my mum was really sad :laugh2:. I wanted Rex to win the final, but Lisa was my favourite

My friends at the time said they thought Kat would win. I didn't hate her. She was a good housemate. Up to no good. You could see she manipulative and it was only time until we would see her crack. Which was on her eviction.

The housemates I hate or dislike are the ones who are very much unlikeable and mentally draining. (Lisa bb10, Kris bb10 John James bb11, Keeva, bb11)

[Patrick]

Beast - BB4 is better than BB10 and BB11? :shocked:
:laugh3:

I haven't seen it, so I can't comment but it just seems so laughable considering how much of a bad rep BB4 has, is it worth watching?


Also yeah, the Boos have to remain for BB.
I hate how in CBB7 and BB11 they blocked them out with chavy music :bored: Was so boring, especially the fact the music was badly edited and came on like out of the blue when the doors opened, Jesus.

It was good for Jonas in CBB7, When he left and it came on it was epic - but for other people, just no.

I was so annoyed we didn't hear Vinnie Jones' eviction properly - he got Booed so badly, it was literally a MASSIVE turn around; just like Alex Reid had in that series.
I really would of loved to of heard his Boos properly.

Music has GOT-TO-GO, End Of.



I agree - Everything changed from BB9 onwards, it wasn't even needed either.
For BB10 the producers got lazy but thought changing the interviews about and stuff like that would make for a fresh series, it ******ing fell on it's arse and the housemates had to carry BB10 by themselves.

BB11 did the same, only the housemates were almost as bad as Phil Edgar Jones in making a good series, God I hate that wanker so much.


Big Brother 9 was the last good series we ever had, if that was the final series - it would of been safe to say it went out on a massive high.

Well actually, Rachel won - so I take that statement back completely.

I liked the innocence of BB4 and it had some likeable characters. Yet boring :S Of course it is worth watching. Just my opinion. BB10 had unlikeable characters. Suppose the layout of the house didn't help either. BB11 was mostly a bore.

Roll on BB12. I will try not to get emotionally involved of the housemates though. Take it all as they come. Big changes have to be made. That's for sure.

[Jordan.]

Kat was a mess and deserved the boo's she got. Glad the public finally saw through her in the end.

Anyway, I think people are missing the OP's point about the whole Kat, Rachel, Darnell sometimes Mikey and Mo 'Happy group'

They made themselves look weak & vunerable and played the victim all the time to get the public sympathy when infact they were the strongest group in the house and had the most influence over what happened through the series because the public bought into it. The other group Bex, Luke, Dale, Stu etc were the real ones and could see straight through all the 'happy house, lets all get along' BS because they knew they were still getting nominated and bitched about just in a less obvious bitchy way. As soon as they pointed out how fake all the happy house stuff was they got evicted because obviously in BB having a negative opinion on something = Eviction. :bored:

[iRyan]

Lisa, Sara, Rex, Luke, and Rebecca were the only great housemates IMO. Steph, Sylvia, and Alexandra of course were great too and should have stayed longer. Nicole was alright and added some conflict.

Dale and Stuart were boring and added nothing to the show but their looks. Sure they were fun at times but they certainly are not remembered for their personalities. I still definitely prefer them over Mo/Darnell/Rachel/Mikey/etc though.

The OP is wrong, B Block weren't some big bitchy group - the other group were.
And even so, what's wrong with it?

Um, I never said they were some big bitchy group. I said they were all annoying and fake and boring. Which they were.

Nadia didn't add a damn thing to Big Brother 5.

Don't be stupid. Of course she did, and everyone knows it. She was undeniably one of the biggest if not the biggest charcter of BB5. Not just because of her story and personal growth, but she was always up for anything and everything and provided alot of great meltdowns and arguements where she wasn't afraid to speak her mind. I don't even need to explain why, actually, because everyone knows what you said is hilariously untrue.

[Smithy]

OTT Yes - but it was one of the greatest moments in Big Brother History to see how they reacted, and God they reacted amazingly in terms of Entertaiment.

Oh it was certainly entertaining but the fact that people like Darnell were so OTT made them annoying. In a way like 'HAHAHA SHUT THE **** UP!'

However BB4 was quite a boring series. *Although I still think it was better than bb10 and 11.*

I agree about BB11 but BB10!?!? You can't be serious. BB10 = one of the best series ever. The producers did a **** job but the amazing housemates made up for it.

BB9 was a great series, no doubt about it, but the last few weeks were practically unbearable to watch for me at times. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it up until Rebecca left where it went downhill for me. But luckily I still had Sara and Rex. Without them I would've stopped watching.

But the tasks and house in BB9 were some of the best ever.

[Patrick]

LOL I loved in Kat's Eviction when they were all hugging her and Rex rubbed his hair and walked away and was like 'WTF!' and then when he glanced away from the group he was kind of smirking :love:


And Darnell when Davina came on after Mo had left and they were all waiting to see who was going,

Davina: Big Brother House, This Is Davina...
Sara: What?
Rex: Oh My God Haha!
Rachel: Come Here Mikey

Davina: You Are Live On Channel 4, Please.. Do Not Swear
Darnell: Where's My Sweater? [walks out of the bathroom topless]

:laugh:
You could hear the studio audience piss themselves laughing at this and when Kat said 'Don't take no more of my fwiends away big bwuva!'

[reece(:]

The bad thing about BB9 is the best ones were not in the house long like those from the beginning Alex, Sylvia, Jennifer, Stephanie and later on Nicole.
Bex and luke lasted halfway which is when I started to get a bit bored until Nicole came in and she was entertaining for a good two weeks.
So overall it was a pretty good series with some good housemates but it's a real big shame only two survived the whole series being Rex and Sara, because the amount of boring deadwood they put on this was absolute madness. I mean do people even remember Maysoon... couldn't stand others like Mario and Dennis or ones that made it all the way like Mo, Darnell, Mikey, Kathreya...

and when people complain about Rachael winning, you should all be greatful she did because Mikey would of won otherwise and it would of been just for the disability so thank god he didn't because he is one of my worst ever housemates.
