Throwback to CBB13

[Will.]

Two years ago today CBB13 launched on Friday 3rd January, a great launch and series.

I watched the launch at home but we had relatives round due to the festive period, I made the children watch it with me who were my age (14 at the time).

They all loved it, it was the first time they had seen CBB/BB.

So I helped ch5 get an extra 3 viewers :laugh:

I think every C5 CBB minus 2013 and CBB8 has been very good actually

CBB14 sucked imo. And I said when BB on C5 was good. Like it followed BB14 at the time (which was also good a series) and the state of the show was much better then than it is now.

[Lostie!]

I still remember this as a severely overrated series tbh, CBB15 and CBB16 were far superior imo. CBB14 was also better, I thought.

CBB13 came before CBB14

Agree with this tbh

[Jason.]

CBB15 was rubbish in comparison to CBB13 imo. I don't know how people can say CBB15 was better than CBB13 (CBB16 I understand) but CBB15 was just a 31 day long argument between two sides of the same coin. And the production wasn't that good either looking back

[Lostie!]

I don't know how people can say CBB15 was better than CBB13

Because some people preferred it, that's how.

CBB15 was unmissable telly for me, CBB13 I stopped watching daily once Lionel went

[Pete.]

Loved CBB13 and CBB15

[Jason.]

Then I don't know why anybody would prefer it to 13. Katie Hopkins vs. Perez was like the only storyline the series had and everybody else were fillers. Not to mention it represented everything most of us despise about BB today. Shoddy production, constant negativity, and focusing the entire show on a running feud between one/two housemates.

[Pete.]

CBB15 had more substance than most remember. CBB16 was mostly Farrah dominating the highlights and Janice being Janice.

[Jason.]

i.e when you're favourite was evicted. I can see why you enjoyed CBB15 given the whole show was centered around your favourite housemate.

I watched CBB13 most of the way through but I didn't even bother watching the finale because I didn't care, the only housemate I was truly bothered about was Liz.

I was really invested in CBB15's final because I actually felt strongly about the results I wanted. The Hopkins / Perez drama did grow tiresome but I still found the series as a whole pretty damn compelling, and it just seemed like more of an event than it had lately (as reflected by it being C5's highest rated series of BB).

[Mitchell]

Nope, when it just became Casey and Lee with Jim vs Linda every episode, and actually my favourite was probably Luisa that series :p

I enjoyed CBB15 as I thought it was like a classic CBB series, everybody was talking about it, I knew so many people watching for the first time on C5, I thought the casting was brilliant (There were so many fantastic names in that series), it just felt right for the first time in years :)

[Jason.]

CBB15 had more substance than most remember. CBB16 was mostly Farrah dominating the highlights and Janice being Janice.

The difference with CBB16 though was that more of the cast contributed instead of just two people like even though Jarrah and Janice were the main ones you had housemates like Gail, James, Austin, Natasha, Scoop, and Chlovi all bring something and contribute to the show, whereas in CBB15 if you weren't arguing or as vocal with your Perez hate, you were practically edited out (housemates like Alicia, Katie P, Calum, and Patsy fell victim to that). The production was better as was the cast (not in terms of names, but entertainment).

The only finals I've never watched of CBB are 13 and 16 :p (both because it was obvious the top two were going to be the least deserving in the final :p)

Yeah BB13 and 14 were pretty good I don't know how they managed to mess up the next two so badly. :worry: I barely watched any of CBB13 though I was really busy with exams I should probably go back and watch it all at some point.

Love Triangle >>>> Katie Hopkins vs. Perez

BIB - So did CBB13. CBB13 started all of this

[Jason.]

Ik it comes across as I hate CBB15 but I don't. The first week/half of it is amazing and one of my fave weeks of C/BB, but the 2nd half ruined what was shaping up to be an amazing series and made it overall inferior to CBB13.

[Lostie!]

Oh I was really into the CBB16 final too, but this time because I would have been happy with all but one (the demon known as Austin) winning. :laugh:

The 15 and 16 finals are actually similar for me in that the final two came down to someone I was happy with winning vs my least favourite. And gladly in both cases, good beat evil. :hee:

(I wasn't exactly championing James to win but over Austin I'll have him win anyday!).

[Jason.]

The Top 2 of CBB16 was good. CBB13's however :omgno:

Yeah I was exactly the same with that final, I really didn't want Austin to win and I didn't really want James to, but I'd rather he won than Austin (who somehow was adored despite being a twat for most of the series)

[Mitchell]

The Top 2 of CBB16 was good. CBB13's however :omgno:

That explains it all then :p (only kidding, but both series final 2's were bloody dreadful imo)

[andybigbro]

I have no idea who is in each CBB now because there has been too many in recent years

[Jason.]

That explains it all then :p

:suspect:

I'm pretty sure your CBB16 favourite was Bobby Davro at one point. :rolleyes:

[Lostie!]

Bobby's takedown of Feral Farrah :clap1:

[Mitchell]

Bobby's takedown of Feral Farrah :clap1:

:clap1:

(marry me tbh)

[Jason.]

Feral Farrah > Bobby Dullvro

[Jason.]

And I'm not even a massive fan of Farrah (which says it all tbh)

[zakman440]

CBB13 was a great series :flutter:. Looking back I totally should not have supported Jim, but it was still a great series - especially all the press attention (I've still got a copy of The Sun with CBB on the front page from this series).

[Lostie!]

[Denver]

Jim & Dappy and Katie & Katie are the best final 2 ever until Jeremy & Kristina this next series

[Macie Lightfoot]

I agree with Jason's assessment of CBB15. Every episode was the same two people screeching at each other and I don't think that's anything exciting (yes you read that correctly, I don't think drama is inherently a good thing.) Factor in the fact that I ****ing hate the two people involved in all of the arguing and yeah, count me out.

Also I think 35 days is agonizingly long for CBB but I'm sure some people will disagree :3

[Jason.]

Forgot to mention CBB15 was like the longest series as well. I think the weekly average going from like 3.2m to 2.8m within the last week proves the public were fed up with that tiresome drag of a feud.

[MB.]

The Top 2 of CBB16 was good.

CBB13 is overrated
