Never Seen one C5 Big Brother, Whats the best to watch?

[looper007]

No celebrity ones please. Just the Civilian one.

Could anyone recommend any of Channel 5's Big Brother's, do any resemble Channel 4's BB peak years. I would like to avoid any that plagued the last two or three BB's on Channel.

Agaisnt

1. Show be focused on a Fake romance or just one Contestant.
2. A house full of glamour models and wanna be celebrities
3. too many twists and crazy evictions.
4. Not overlong
5. The Villain of the show winning at the end :laugh:

I would love if any have

1. Overall great cast
2. A good house divide that leads to a great battle between two groups
3. That good selection of great housemates in the final

Sorry for been picky but I don't want to be wasting time I have off for the next few weeks, watching a crappy BB. Thanks for the recommendations in advance :).

[RileyH]

13

[Niamh.]

My favourite is BB12, but BB13 probably matches your criteria better (it's really good too)

[Oaker]

13 for sure

[Babayaro.]

Sounds like you'll enjoy BB13

[Epic.]

If we're only speaking civilian go for 13. 17 is a good series too but it has 4/5 of the things you're against apart from it being "too long" when it should've been longer

[looper007]

Is 13 up on YouTube by any chance.

[reece(:]

13 or 14, 13 has a tiring showmance and 14 has lots of twists

[reece(:]

Is 13 up on YouTube by any chance.
It should be on Dailymotion

[Jordan.]

BB18 sounds closest to what you want

BB18 sounds perfect for you!

[Daniel.]

BB13 and BB18 are the best two with house divides and great drama, along with rootable housemates.

[Niamh.]

BB18 sounds perfect for you!

also Looper, I see you've been a member for 2 years but haven't posted much so you may not know that in BB18 a TiBB member was a HM :hee:

[Alf]

None of them, they're all awful.

Infact, watch them all, just to see how right I am

[looper007]

also Looper, I see you've been a member for 2 years but haven't posted much so you may not know that in BB18 a TiBB member was a HM :hee:

I was a member here for Years, my name was Arsenal4ever I think :laugh:. I joined around the same time as you back in 2009. Who was the member if she/he were a member around that time I might remember them :).

[looper007]

so I give 13 and 18 a go so, thanks guys :dance:

[Morgan.]

Raph, spends a lot of time in the BBUS/BBCAN forums! Big fan of BB9 he was, too! Won't spoil how he did for you though ;)

[Niamh.]

OMG Arsenal4ever :o You were one of the first few people I was friendly with on here, how are things?

Raph (SweetySammy maybe back in 2009)

[looper007]

Grand thank you fit and healthy, hope you are well. Yeah they were the best times back then (wasn't it around BB10 time) and the two years after that, then a lot of the regulars left and it wasn't as fun plus I fell out of love with BB around BB11 time.

Anyone still around from that time, you must be the one of the few left.

[looper007]

Good to see a member from this site go on the show, hopefully he did himself and the forum proud :). I can't remember him, that well when I was on here back in 2009.

[Morgan.]

He seems quite marmite. Most of us are really supportive and think he was a great character but there's a few who despise him and I don't seem to see a reason for that tbh.

Yeah it was for BB10 I joined anyway.

hhhmmm people who we used to talk to in The Den (that's what it was called back then iirc) Smithy and Jess occasionally, do you remember them? who else used to post with us back then? MissKittyfantastico doesn't post anymore but I have her on FB

[Strictly Jake]

My favourites

1. BB18
2. BB17
3. BB14
4. BB15
5. BB16

I didn't watch bb12 and bb13

[looper007]

The Den was excellent and was like a BB house as it had two different threads and both disliked each other lol. I remember Smithy. The lot I was really on good terms with, left around 2011 and never came back. I remember you cause you have Niamh in you're sig and I remember you were crazy about Gerard Butler :laugh: and that we joined around the same time.

Maybe a few are going by how he behaved on here maybe, BB is always a weird thing, as one week you be loved and could be favourite for weeks then all of a sudden one little thing and you could be villain and out the next :laugh:.

[Jodie.]

You need to watch BB18 it’s my fav ever bar BB6 x

[Epic.]

BB18 sounds perfect for you!

Agaisnt

3. too many twists and crazy evictions.

I would love if any have

1. Overall great castl

Eeeeeeeeeeehh

[Niamh.]

I've gone off Gerard now :idc:

[RileyH]

Issy, Tom & Debs are the only rootable housemates in 18 imo

[Eddie.]

just avoid the atrocity that is BB15 and BB16, and you'll be fine...!

[looper007]

just avoid the atrocity that is BB15 and BB16, and you'll be fine...!

I give 13 a go first as it seems the one that got the most votes. I avoid those two for certain as I read on here they are the worse.

[looper007]

I've gone off Gerard now :idc:

Eddie Vedder now I see :laugh: But I do love Pearl Jam so I can't blame you.

[Niamh.]

Eddie Vedder now I see :laugh: But I do love Pearl Jam so I can't blame you.

Well Eddie Vedder was my favourite since I was 16 tbf

[Morgan.]

Issy, Tom & Debs are the only rootable housemates in 18 imo

Poor Raph and Chanelle. Also since WHEN was Tom rootable? He had a **** first week, he was good for the next few but not the best and I'll spoiler the next bit because it's where he ranked.

He deserved 4th Place with all of the finalists in mind.

[Marsh.]

BB14 is the only one worth looking back on IMO.

But, for your criteria you'll probably like the vastly overrated 13.

[reece(:]

Tom was trash in the early weeks supporting Lotan's cause

[Epic.]

Tom was trash for half of the series and one of Lotan's intolerable bitches. He had unbelievably terrible Small Man Syndrome and I hated his desire to always look masculine. Are we not going to forget the time he flung food items aggressively near Arthur just because he annoyed him? Or the time he tried to comfort Lotan during his whinges about Isabelle with a "Listen, NOBODY likes 'er in this house!!" Not only that but he was just boring. Sure he got great once Sue came around and had a great relationship with her and he definitely redeemed himself a lot more in contrast to the likes of Lotan, Ellie, Kayleigh, Rebecca, etc. But a last solid 4 weeks doesn't excuse your first 4 abysmal ones.

1. Show be focused on a Fake romance or just one Contestant.
2. A house full of glamour models and wanna be celebrities
3. too many twists and crazy evictions.
4. Not overlong
5. The Villain of the show winning at the end :laugh:


I would love if any have

1. Overall great cast
2. A good house divide that leads to a great battle between two groups
3. That good selection of great housemates in the final


1. Show to be focused on Fake romance or just one Contestant. - Although BB18 did have Sam and Ellie, you will be happy to hear that this was one of Ellie’s downfalls and possible one of the main reasons why she didn’t win Also, the producers gave all the HM’s lots of airtime in BB18, even the quieter ones like Charlotte still got a fair bit.

2. A house full of glamour models and wanna be celebrities BB12 & 13 were FULL of glamour models, and BB14 started the ‘wanna be celebrities” thing, using recruits. This goes to either BB13, BB14 or BB18. BB13 did have glamour models but the cast was good, although BB14 started what we have today the HM’s were fairly normal and yeah BB18 did have reality stars/wanna be celebrities but again the cast together was good.

3. too many twists and crazy evictions AVOID BB15 & BB16 :laugh:Even BB14 has its fair share of twists so you might want to avoid that too. BB12/13/17/18 only had 2/3 twists throughout the entire series.

4. Not overlong Tbh I don’t think any series on C5 being overlong has been a problem, infact it’s more being too short :laugh: Yeah it’s a travesty that BB15 & 16 lasted longer than 17 and 18, but they weren’t terrible because they were too long, they were terrible from the start/middle aswell. You’ll be fumed that BB17/18 are only 50 day series:fist:

5. The Villain of the show winning at the end Was Aaron classed as a villain? Idk but if he was then avoid BB12. BB15 is also VERY controversial so you might not like that. BB14 and 16 had meh winners. BB17 depends on if you like Jason or not. BB13 and BB18 (moreso BB18) had a good ending to their series, so you should like them.



1. Overall a great cast BB13, 14, 17 & 18 are the only series with great casts, although there are a few gems from other series x

2. A good house divide that leads to a battle between two groups BB13 has the Insiders v Outsiders, a long running divide that lasts the whole series. Unfortunately, the Insiders won in some way with Conor winning £50k BB15 had Helens crew v the rest of the house, ugh the most uninteresting divide ever! BB18 had one of my favourite divides: The insiders v the exiles. Although the divide didn’t last right until the end, when it was there imo it was the biggest divide there has ever been. There are two separate bedrooms, which makes it even better. This all leads to Fight Night 2, Lotans ejection, one of the best campaigns to ever happen and eventually makes Isabelle’s win come true :love:

3. That good selection of housemates in the final BB12/16 had one of the worst finals ever. BB14/15/17 had an okay final. BB13’s Final was good as most of the outsiders made it. I think most can agree though, the HM’s in BB18’s Final made it up there as one of the best ever. It was very diverse, which fits in well with the theme they were going in for that series :hee:

So watch BB18 you won’t be disappointed trust x

[Epic.]

BB17 never depended for me whether Jason won. I would've thought it'd be much better if he didn't win but it was still a solid series

[Morgan.]

I mean I'd avoid naming winners for this member, Jordi, or at least spoiler tagging just because some people don't like winners spoiled

[Alf]

I remember you Arsenal forever, you was one of the first people I remember after joining. Was around the time Michael Jackson died so yeah around BB10 time. Welcome back.

[Jodie.]

I mean I'd avoid naming winners for this member, Jordi, or at least spoiler tagging just because some people don't like winners spoiled

Omg just changed it, sorry looper if you saw my post before then!

[looper007]

Omg just changed it, sorry looper if you saw my post before then!

I didn't Jordi, thank you by the way for the wonderful thought out description you wrote. I give those C5 BB a watch over Christmas. Thanks :).

[Jake.]

13 > 18 > 17 > 14 > 12 > 16/15

[Wizard.]

13 and 15 have the most drama, 14 is less heavy but very entertaining!

[King Gizzard]

They’re all rubbish tbh

[Eddie.]

I suggest you watch in order, but here's my ranking anyway...
1. BB14
2. BB18
3. BB13
4. BB17
5. BB12
6. BB15
7. BB16

[LemonJam]

BB13 no contest

[Withano]

Cbb19 imo

[y.winter]

I think BB13 is the C4est you can get from C5.

[Marsh.]

I think BB13 is sh*t

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

13 is the only good one

[Marsh.]

Ignore ValYulerie. She drinks.

[Babayaro.]

Ignore Marsh. She stinks.

[Marsh.]

:joker:

[Smithy]

The Den was excellent and was like a BB house as it had two different threads and both disliked each other lol. I remember Smithy. The lot I was really on good terms with, left around 2011 and never came back. I remember you cause you have Niamh in you're sig and I remember you were crazy about Gerard Butler :laugh: and that we joined around the same time.
