Big Brother obviously.

CBB is boring, it's filled with old bastards from Hollywood that only 80 Year old Americans have heard of.

It's depressing to watch and dull.

BB is where it all started and without it CBB wouldn't even exist.
Big Brother has always been far more entertaining, FAR more.

Anyone that says CBB should just go home - you're not a real fan.

Launching CBB8 before BB12 is a ******ing terrible idea.

Not always Patrick. I thought the one with Vinnie Jones in it was better than the actual series that year.

Normal BB because I like getting to know housemates from 0, also I always form emotional connections with some and actually get sad when they get evicted/it ends. I know sad.

Big Brother.

I'd have been happier if C5 didn't even bring CBB back + guaranteed us BB13 instead.

I Love Both, But BB, the housemates aren't celebrities so they are abit more genuine, less acting or portraying an image to the cameras. We dont know with the Celebrities if they are always themselves in the house!

I like discovering Housemates about whom I have no preconceptions.

And I like a show that lasts 2 or 3 months so storylines can develop properly.

Absolutely agree, BB. CBB is kind of a contradiction, really, because the whole idea of BB is to get to know people from scratch and watch their interactions. With CBB we know a lot - too much in many cases - about them already. That being said, I'm really looking forward to Jedward in CBB :joker:

BB13 is guaranteed - their contract lasts two years.

Say what you like about Celebrity Big Brother but the fact is it has recently attracted higher ratings and more press coverage than the normal version so it's understandable why Channel 5 chose to launch the revival with a Celebrity series.

I like both versions equally.

It's a shame the Unlucky 13 thing has already been done. BB13 could have used it. :(

They could launch it on Friday 13th, but the only summer-y Friday 13th in 2012 is in July.

Regular BB but I still really like CBB and I'm looking forward to see what sort of lineup Channel 5 will have.

CBB3, 4 and 7 were amazing series and at one point I remember lurking on the forums and CBB4 was considered THE best BB series.

Based on duration I picked BB but the last CBB was pretty good! Wouldn't mind seeing another one of that quality!

Good result so far, you're all amazing people.

Normal BB because I like getting to know housemates from 0, also I always form emotional connections with some and actually get sad when they get evicted/it ends. I know sad.

We all do it.

Big Brother.

I think we are guaranteed a BB13 - just whether or not it's the final series or not.

But yeah same, I would of rathered no CBB and just BB12 in Summer.

I would quite happily shag CBB4 if it had a Vagina.

Just saying.

CBB6 is quite under rated, I watched CBB3 and couldn't get into it at all :(.
CBB7 was quite awesome, I don't know if it was better than BB11 - I'd say the first half of BB11 beats CBB7 and then it went downhill.

LMFAO. I'll just leave you 2 alone.

I think the problem with CBB6 was that the HMs and producers just didn't want a repeat of CBB5 so that's part of the reason the live feed was scrapped and the HMs just felt flat.

I really did enjoy CBB7 and I liked that it was the most like the 2004-2006 era with Shirley Jones bringing the evil and fun back in to it and I liked that Alex, Dane, Jonas and Nicola were quite open about their intimate moments even for a celeb series. Dan was right when he said BB1 was quite raw and I think BB5 and 6 were too and CBB7 was the first time it'd been like that for ages. As much as I loved BB11 I just think it could have benefited from this. I enjoyed the light-hearted heaven/circus theme as a contrast to the evil/hell theme of CBB but the content (or rather the lack of it) of drinking, sex talk and genuine arguments was a step backwards again esp after how refreshing the more adult CBB7 was.
