Best Year of Big Brother.

[Jason.]

I was wondering which year of Big Brother was the best. What I mean by this is which year had really good CBB and Civilian BB series.

For me, I think 2006 was the best year for Big Brother.
It had what is considered the best Celebrity Big Brother (CBB4), and a awesome civilian series (BB7).

Worst would be 2011. CBB8 and BB12 both were atrocious series. Very tacky and cheap year for BB, IMO.

2006, closely followed by 2007. That was the classic BB era.

2009-2012 hosted terrible series. 2013 was a great series filled with some amazing classic characters.

This might be a bit contravesial but

2005 - Best Year

2011/2012 - Worse year

[MB.]

2005 and 2006 were great for both BB and CBB. And lolno at 2012 being the worst year - it gave us one of the best celebrity series that there's been (CBB9), the best civilian series on Channel 5 (BB13) and another strong celebrity series in CBB10.

[Marsh.]

Best - 2004 or 2005

Worst - 2011 or 2012

[Braden]

Definitely 2006 :love:

This is a really good topic btw, I don't think it's ever been discussed/asked.

[BIRDisTHEword]

Best: 2006. Closely followed by 2005 for me as that was the year I first watched
Worst: 2011

[Shaun]

Best - 2005 and 2006.
Worst - 2010

[Jason.]

Definitely 2006 :love:

Thank you. I was thinking about it the other day.
I genuinely think 2014 would have been a great year, had BB15 been a good series.

[Braden]

I agree.

Before I answered the poll I noticed that BB15 ruined 2014, the CBB's were great last year. :love:

[MB.]

And lolno at 2012 being the worst year - it gave us one of the best celebrity series that there's been (CBB9), the best civilian series on Channel 5 (BB13) and another strong celebrity series in CBB10.

Worst - 2012

CBB11 is my least favourite celebrity series, I did love CBB12 on other hand.

I have mixed feelings about BB14, it had it's moments but I didn't LOVE it.

Voted BB2 Brian Dowling my fave winner of all time that season had it all :D humour fun fights brilliant :D

[ebandit]

..........ah! the life of a BB fan

[VanessaFeltz.]

2002 of course.

[M X]

2006.

BB7/CBB4.

[Liam-]

Personally my favourite year is 2010

[Niamh.]

2001

[LukeB]

2006 hands down best series of normal and celebrity big brother all in one year

[Daniel.]

2005 had the best civilian but 2006 was the peak of the show with CBB4 and BB7

[Daniel.]

Also worst is 2011

2012 slayed :nono:

[Samm]

2005 :love:

2012 is the best C5 era year & is 3rd overall

[Samm]

BB6 > BB7

CBB3 > CBB4

I still love both but 2005 is better then 2006 imo

[JoshBB]

BB7,

and I would say this year has been the best CBB but I've only seen c5 ones

[Lostie!]

Surprised at all the 2012 hate in this thread, CBB9 and BB13 were both brilliant I think.

[Pincho Paxton]

Too hard to remember.

[Jason.]

Bump.

My opinion has changed. I think 2005 is the best year for BB personally. BB6 is my favourite civilian series and CBB3 is my favourite celebrity series. Both aired in 2005, soo :hee:

2006 was still a great year though, but 2005 > 2006

[Pete.]

2006

[Oaker]

How does 2011 even have a vote? :omgno:

[Jason.]

2012 is the best year on C5.

I'd rank them like this

2012 > 2013 > 2014 > 2015 >>>>>>>> 2011

[Oaker]

Welp I think 2015 > 2014 so far

[Jason.]

Welp I think 2015>2014 so far

I'm not too keen on BB as a whole this year tbh.

I prefer CBB13 to CBB15. I prefer BB15 to BB16 (although both awful). I do however prefer CBB16 to CBB14. But, that's still not enough to put it above.

This summer hasn't really felt like BB to me and it's been so messy.

This year hasn't really felt like BB and it's been so messy.

I prefer BB16 to BB15 just because it actually kept me interested with HotelBB/Cashbomb, and BB15 got to a point where it felt like I forced myself to watch it since it was so bad.

CBB14 ended up the exact same way that BB15 did and since this series still seems to be going well I'm thinking that I will still like 2015 more than 2014.

CBB13 > CBB15 though and that isn't close

[Jason.]

Judging by my rankings, the show seems to be decreasing in quality year by year, with the exception of 2011.

It's pretty much 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 :laugh:

I hope 2016 doesn't continue that pattern and end up being placed inbetween this year and 2011 :omgno:

[Daniel.]

C4: 2005
C5: 2012 (third best overall tbh)
Overall: 2005

[Jason.]

Come to think of it, I think this year has been better than last year. I mean the only good series from 2014 was CBB13 which ****s all over any series in 2015 imo. But I only liked CBB13 last year. BB15 and CBB14 were both awful. Whereas with this year, we've had two classic top-tier CBB's which have both been brilliant and up there with CBB3 and CBB13. Even though BB16 ruined what could've been a good year for BB, I like 2/3 series from 2015 whereas I only like one out of the three series from 2014.

2015 > 2014

[Daniel.]

Agreed, two great cbb's this year vs two good ones last

Imo
