CBB9 had the best overall because of Michael and KK twins

[Jord]

CBB9 had the best overall because of Michael and KK twins

Agreed

[Mitchell]

On paper 11, only Lacey was really unknown, CBB13 was good, but had the two unknowns

[Turtle]

For some reason I remember Coolio being in two CBBs. Like they brought him back for another one.

[Mitchell]

Probably got Dennis Rodman and Coolio mixed up? Unless you are referring to Coolio being in ultimate big brother?

[Strictly Jake]

Probably 5 and 6. Makes you realise how many of these housemates aren't actually celebrities or relevant then never mind now. They make better housemates though. The most famous housemates are always on guard and boring

[Lostie!]

From the ones I've seen, CBB9. I usually find CBBS quite flat, but I loved that one.

I'm not British, so it's a bit hard to gauge the status of some of them.

Ranking them by "most entertaining" is even more subjective, but I enjoyed 7, 9, and the more argumentative 4 and 5. The latter two lose points with me for how much nastiness was involved, but they were otherwise good series.

[Raph]

CBB9 hands down :worship:

[Cal.]

Celebrity Big Brother 5, the one with Shilpa Shetty, Jade Goody, Jack Tweed, Jermaine Jackson, Danielle Lloyd ect.

[Dash Darington]

Was Jack Tweed famous in Britain at the time of CBB5? I always thought he was just some random knob who glommed onto Jade because of her fame.

For some reason I remember Coolio being in two CBBs. Like they brought him back for another one.

He was in ultimate bb the 2nd time not cbb ;)
