The History of Big Brother: BB1-13

[thediaryroomchair]

I am interested in writing a book or an online article about Big Brother, its inception in 2000 and how it changed the way in which we watch TV with the introduction of viewer control and live feed where we could monitor the housemates we grew to either love or hate in series gone by.

What has:
1. Been your favourite series?
2. Least favourite?
3. Favourite housemate?
4. Stand out moment
5. Your hopes for Big Brother 13.
6. Who do you trust with BB, Channel 4 or 5?

I think this is the worst set of answers anybody could have possibly given.

1. Big Brother 11 is one of the worst series ever
2. Big Brother 10 is one of the best series ever
3. Josie was an awful housemate and had no entertainment value
4. The Clown, are you joking? I barely even remember that.
5. Channel 5 BB is awful compared to Channel 4 BB

1. Been your favourite series?
BB6 (2005) - By far the best lineup of housemates. All, except maybe Eugene, had a major dynamic in the house and it was the most divisive series until maybe BB9 (although literally dividing the housemates there made it feel a bit contrived). It had huge, huge characters - Makosi, Craig, Kemal, Kinga, Science, Maxwell/Saskia (I count them as one because they were too unintelligent to be classed as separate cognitive entities) - and some of the best tasks. I liked the house layout too, with the separate living room and loft, and the secret garden.

2. Least favourite?
BB11. - It was a good first 3 or 4 weeks, but it just became too interfered-with and eviction results became increasingly disastrous. The whole JJ/Josie story really bored me and I can't remember any of the tasks or most of the housemates (particularly the new ones).

3. Favourite housemate?
Derek (BB6) - He was very manipulative and cunning, and it seemed to go largely unnoticed. Or rather, the housemates would discuss it and bitch about him, but then have larger fall-outs with each other and never nominate him. He had a brilliant way with words and his nominations were amazing to watch, and his whole house-mum thing (combined with Margaret Thatcher impressions and his hand gestures) made him hilarious.

4. Stand out moment
The BB7 house next door twist. If you mention Big Brother to me for some reason the first thing I picture is that yellow & black eye and Aisleyne walking in crying after having to send home Jonathan.

5. Your hopes for Big Brother 13.
Minimal. I'd hope they enter fewer tanned, fake, fame-hungry idiots and went for genuine oddballs and loud characters. Also, less outside intervention with the house.

6. Who do you trust with BB, Channel 4 or 5?
I did like the first C5 CBB, but I grew impatient with BB12 and the last CBB was awful, so C4.

5. Your hopes for Big Brother 13

6. Who do you trust with BB, Channel 4 or 5

Channel 4 have dumped it so they can't be trusted. They did it better than 5, of course.

[Marcus.]

:suspect: You constantly mention weight. Why is this?

because in big brother we all was get skinny girl and boys

[Flamingjoe]

because in big brother we all was get skinny girl and boys

The only "skinny" person we got on last year's series was Tom. What is wrong with having people with a healthy weight enter the house?

[Marcus.]

yeah why not i give up

[MrWong]

That's not true.

Why is weight a defining factor though, that's what I don't get?

[Marcus.]

big brother about all size not just that size

[Scotty07]

What has:
1. Been your favourite series?

BB6

2. Least favourite?

BB4

3. Favourite housemate?

Science. Very difficult choice though between him Freddie, Aaron and Ben, but Science edges it because I watched more footage of him on live feed than the other three.

4. Stand out moment

Aaron winning BB12 as it was the first time after watching BB for twelve years, that an amazing housemate and my favourite of a series actually won.

If he hadn't won, I would have said either:

Science surviving eviction against Maxwell BB6.
Housemates being told the truth by Big Brother after a week of lies BB6.
Kat and Mo's surprise cruel eviction night BB9.

5. Your hopes for Big Brother 13.

Live feed.
Old school C4 editing of highlights.
No outside information at all to the housemates.
No visitors at all, not even for tasks.
Amazing twists including the greatest launch night twist of all time.
Evil shock evictions.
Three or more most nominated housemates up for eviction.
A fascinating mix of entertaining housemates that I love and hate.
Plenty of bitching and arguments.
Entertaining but very difficult shopping budget tasks that will have them failing it almost every week.:devil:
Group divides in equal numbers, but with a few floating sly two faced ****ers in the middle.:devil:
Every single housemates nominations to be so entertaining that I can't wait until the next round.
No more stupid ****ing boring mini tasks where they have to go around kissing and lying to win some **** prize.
Plenty of hilarious moments that has me unable to stop laughing so hard it hurts.

6. Who do you trust with BB, Channel 4 or 5?

Neither anymore.

[Redway]

1. Favourite series?

BB9

2. Least favourite series?

Tbh, BB8'S was pretty rubbish, IMO. Certainly at the time.

3. Favourite housemate?

Derek. He was like EastEnders' Janine: cunning and sneaky. Loved it.

4. Stand out moment?

A lot, but narrowing it down: 'fight night'.

5. Hopes from BB13?

Loads of fights and arguments that aren't as retarded and brain-sucking as something off Bad Girls or summat like that.

6. Who do you trust more with BB: Channel 4 or Channel 6?

Channel 4.

[Patrick]

3. Favourite housemate?
Derek (BB6) - his nominations were amazing to watch

Kemal's Nominations >>>>>>
