Where to watch?

[Macie Lightfoot]

So I'm American and we don't really do IAC here so I know little to nothing about the show, but I heard that this past series was actually really good so I guess you can consider my interest piqued. Are the episodes on a certain tube or is there some secret British website I don't know about that has all the episodes? Someone hook a bab up please xx

[Headie]

You can find the last 3 series here:

I'd avoid Series 13 at all costs if I were you though

[Samm]

14 & 15 are the best new ones, however every series from 2010 downwards is worth a watch but idk if there's links to them.

[Pete.]

I'm ready to be gripped by Macie's accounts :clap1:

[reece(:]

Watch this years!

[Headie]

Yeah you should deffo watch Lady C's (S15), Helen Flanagan's (S12), Janice Dickinson's (S7), Kendra Wilkinson's (S14) and Sinitta's (S11) series. I'm guessing it will be hard to find any links for series before Series 10 though.

[Jason.]

Watch 2007. It's on YouTube in parts. But it's probably my favourite series and it has the best campmate of all time. Janice Dickinson <33

Don't forget Edwina and Kim!

[Headie]

Don't forget Edwina and Kim!

Oh yeah S9 is good too! :love:

and Edwina was in Kendra's series, she was my second fave that year :clap1:

[MB.]

So yeah, imagine a good series Celebrity Big Brother (lol ikr) except in the jungle instead of a waterlogged north London TV studio, and that's what this most recent one was (it's practically the same length so if you're used to bashing your way thr... actually that sounds wrong, wait. Knocking your way through? If you're used to watching a 20-something day series in a short amount of time, it'll be perfect for you)

I wouldn't advise series 14 though, like I'm sure you can just root out clips of Kendra Wilkinson doing the trials and that's all you'll need

[Jason.]

Avoid Series 11 and 13. Both dire.

I really enjoyed 2014 but it's not viewed positively by most on here.

[Pete.]

I loved the enigmatic Amy vs the rest storyline

[EspeonBB]

Definitely watch 2007, 2010, 2012 and 2015! IAC is a show when it's good it's great to watch but when it's bad it's basically unwatchable.

(I thought everything was on Youtube tho)

[Jason.]

2010 is another amazing one. It's on YouTube too.

[MB.]

And I'd suggest series 10 if you can find that anywhere because the Gillian McKeith experience is one that has to be seen to be believed/desperately repeated for the next five years

Well, that and Alison Hammond

[Jason.]

2007-2010 are all on YouTube in parts.

[MB.]

(the series' also tend to correspond with the years they were shown in number-wise, which is.... well, handy)

that was kinda my understanding of it -- basically CBB in the jungle but instead of shopping tasks they do ~trials~ or whatever, and then no nominations and just voting to win? I tried to read up on it on Wikipedia once but they don't even explain the rules or anything so it was v confusing.

And thx for the tips and recommendations everyone <3

[reece(:]

Lady C series, Gillian McKeith/Shaun Ryder/Stacey series, Helen Flanagan series, Janice and Lynne series and Kim Woodburn/Sabrina Washington/Katie P/Joe Bugner series <3

[Cal.]

I'd imagine you'll be a Charlie Brookes fan

[Jason.]

Also all the campmates face the public vote apart from the beginning when some are immune. So it's more representative of the campmates popularity as opposed to BB where if you're nominated you're gone basically. They vote to save till the final 2/3 where it's vote to win.

[Ross.]

If you aren't by the end of the series Macie then leave the forum

Pretty much - the most recent one incorporated a few more elements of gameplay than usual, but we're still yet to even reach year 2k-level stuff over here so don't hold your breath

(if you're a keen user of 'bab' then you'll definitely be on board the Alison Hammond train to funsville)

[Jason.]

2008 gets paid dust. That was a good one although the winner is an abomination.

But Nicola McLean <33

[Jason.]

Tbh watch every series bar 2011 and 2013. In simple words.

[Jason.]

If you aren't by the end of the series Macie then leave the forum

Did you like Janice in CBB16 Macie? She's a lot better in IAC imho

[MB.]

Oh oh oh and I don't know if it's out there but series 3 is absolutely essential RTV viewing, if not just to understand the enigma that is Jordan and Peter Andre

(I'll be quiet now)

[Jason.]

Series 1-6 are nowhere to be found </3

[MB.]

I don't think troy is a fan of Alison Hammond :laugh:

Even I was converted

[MB.]

(yes that was me forgetting Alison Hammond had ever done BB and wasn't any good, why do you ask?)

[Jason.]

Macie I see you were a fan of KP in CBB15. Watch Series 9 - the first half is pretty much all about her till she walks (yes spoiler alert, but it's Katie Price, what were you expecting)

and yes she goes in twice <3

[Ross.]

NOT Jason spoiling it for poor Macie

[Headie]

Avoid Series 11 and 13. Both dire.

I really enjoyed 2014 but it's not viewed positively by most on here.

11 is a must-watch simply for Sinitta :love:

[Jason.]

Like I said, it's KP what was he expecting

[Jason.]

Sinitta <3

[MB.]

Do you want to tell us all how the new Star Wars ends Jason or what

[Headie]

Yeah you should deffo watch Lady C's (S15), Helen Flanagan's (S12), Janice Dickinson's (S7), Kendra Wilkinson's (S14) and Sinitta's (S11) series. I'm guessing it will be hard to find any links for series before Series 10 though.

Oh and 10 for Gillian! Probably the best IAC campmate ever <333

[Ross.]

:joker:

[Jason.]

Watch 14 for Mel Sykes and Kendra

:whistle:

[Jason.]

But watch the classics ones first

[MB.]

(if you can find them anywhere)

Conclusion: watch series 15, see if you like it, then do whatever the hell makes you feel good after watching 20 days of British D-listers eating camel dick

[MB.]

I think my love affair with Alison Hammond actually started when she went on Strictly, came flying down from the ceiling on wires and did an entire dance to Kate Bush in character as Catherine Earnshaw, don't mind me

[Daniel.]

Just watch them all in bavkwards order imk

[Daniel.]

Lady C is the best campmate ever but you may despise her.

[EspeonBB]

Sinitta <3

Lmfao she was a hot mess <3

[Jason.]

Sinitta in that Cable Car trial being too paranoid-stricken to even open a compartment <3

Don't bother with the series just finished, it was vanilla in just about every aspect. You'd be wasting your time

Watch last year's

(I don't know if you've seen any of it, but if you really want to fill your UK RTV void, you could do much worse than the current series of The Apprentice)

My last memories of TAUK are Sarah Dales banging her toilet scrub brush on the side of a plastic bin and then modeling some light up shirt/jacket in the second episode :love:

[Jason.]

This year's series had potential with some good names but they dedicated all the airtime to one of the worst human beings ever whilst all the good people were buried in the edit and were eliminated early as a result.

TA12 is great though IA.

if you're looking for recent ones then 2012 and 2015 are good

if you're looking for older ones then 2004 (winter) and 2007 are good ones

[Cal.]

Rebekah Vardy won.

[Jason.]

Unpopular opinion, but 2015 wasn't even that good. The cast is actually pretty crap and forgettable outside two or three people and Lady C is just a knock-off Kim Woodburn.

2012 is the best recent series and the last classic one, so I'd recommend that one. And I'm sure it shouldn't be too hard to find it online somewhere.

[Daniel.]

She was the only good campmate, Joey Essex ruined it

[MB.]

I mean, I can barely remember anything that happened on this show past... maybe 2011 anyway (with the exception of 2015), but all I remember of 2013 is Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's gradual descent into madness

[Cal.]

Actually I prefer 2012 and 2015 to 2013 thinking about it

[Cal.]

I'm sorry for misleading my audience.

[Jack_]

2015 is in contention for one of the best series of all time, whenever I watch clips back it really has aged so well. It also has the best running gag of all time too

Last year's is still the worst, avoid at all costs. This series was okay but nothing special. 2010 was iconic for Gillian but the production in the final is a MESS and there were decent parts of 2012-2014 but they all end so terribly that I'd never recommend them (that said, you'd probably like the winners so)

Honestly, the older series are probably the best ones but I don't even know if they still exist anywhere

WOW do I detect shade or what

and yeah I think last time I checked the earliest I could find was IAC7? Which is sad bc I would die to see the origins of The Katie Price Experience.

[Marsh.]

Oh, so you're Mrs. Right are you?

:joker::joker::joker:

I lived for Matthew's trolling (especially of Alfonso) that year

Last year's kumbaya camp was DIRE, if it weren't for Martin I don't think I'd remember a single thing

Honestly wasn't intended :laugh: I just mean that they really don't bring anything to their series so the endings are poor for me but they're all perfectly likeable as people so I'm sure you'll see it differently, and one of them in paticular is worshipped on here for some unknown reason

[Macie Lightfoot]

Yearly tradition of bumping up this thread bc I heard this year was pretty good? Confirm or deny please x

[reece(:]

No comparison to Lady C series/Kim Woodburn series/Janice Dickinson series

[Jason.]

The cast was great in terms of names but in all honesty, it was just another series with everyone sat around the fire singing kumbaya. This show's become so dry over the last few years with each series following the same formula.

Overall, I'd still say it was better than the last two series but if you ever plan on getting into the show then you can't go wrong with series 7-10 or 12.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Hmmm okay, I saw lots of people RAVING about how refreshing this series is but then a few people also said it was a love fest with no ~drama~

I don't even know what would constitute as drama in IAC since the show is just like... you do a trial and then eat food at camp?

[reece(:]

I don't even know what would constitute as drama in IAC since the show is just like... you do a trial and then eat food at camp?

The series with drama they tend to show camp life a lot more therefore presenting the cast's personalities better. With blander casts they rely more on the trials and gimmicks for entertainment.

The best example of drama I can think of is last year when
Amir and Iain ate the Strawberries and Cream without telling the other campmates and all **** kicked off and Iain got the entire blame

if you want another example of drama, just YouTube "Lady C I'm a Celeb" :laugh:

I think this series will be perfect for a first-timer. There's very little drama so if you want something "exciting" you'll probably be relying on the trials, and the trials this year were great (although similar to previous years but that's about to happen after eighteen series) so you'd enjoy the trials since they're nothing you've seen before

[Jason.]

The series with drama they tend to show camp life a lot more therefore presenting the cast's personalities better. With blander casts they rely more on the trials and gimmicks for entertainment.

Yeah, the last couple series seemed so challenge-focused where they all get along and work together, meaning they win more food/treats and there's less tension in a camp as a result of them not being as hungry.

The older series all benefited from having an entertaining serial trialist that wasn't really good at the trials alongside personalities that clashed in camp.

[Tony Montana]

Series 14 with Jimmy Bullard, Jake Quickenden and Kendra was pretty good and had drama.

and of course series 15 with Lady C was the last Drama filled series. since then it's become the get along gang.
