I was looking through BB eyes on Google Images and then I saw one that I didn't recognised, when I clicked the link it took me here and then I decided to join.

I found it by googling Big Brother while BB10 was on, no one from r/l was watching and I wanted to discuss it

It's been so long, I can't remember. I must have googled Big Brother forum.

I typed in “Big Brother UK Forum” on Google Search and was given the choice between DS and TiBB. I lurked on both for quite a while before deciding on TiBB as the general environment/atmosphere in here is better than DS...

Regular poster for seven months now and still going strong!

I used to lurk SurvivorSucks and I think this site was linked from there? Then I just lurked for several years.

I looked at the polls and then decided to join just before CBB19 and lurked for a few months before starting to post around CBB20/BB18

My Brother was on here initially and I was a fan of the show so I joined during BB11 for it's last ever series on Ch4.

I was googling if Halfwit/Freddie really showered naked in the house because I thought it was disgusting(I was 16) and I clicked on a link to a thread about it in the google search results. :joker: Then I looked through the Chat & Games sub-forum and saw lots of fun threads so I made an account.

i’d come across it before when I’d googled big brother eviction music and it took me to a thread with all of the C4 era best bits music.

Searched ‘big brother polls’ during bb8, checked back two or three times a week (onseason) after that.

I have no idea what convinced me to join, or why it took me so long

I was seduced by the scintillating intellectual Serious Debates, the Camaraderie of the members on ALL the forums, the all-pervading air of tranquillity and calm, the general Goodwill to each other, and the Interesting Analytical Posts on the BB and CBB Forums.

Mind you, I was HEAVILY on LSD at the time :laugh:

Same (during BB10 I think), I used to check for the eviction polls. I started reading the actual forum though during CBB15 and then joined at the beginning of BB16 because noone I knew still watched it :laugh: (and I hadn't watched a civilian series myself in years).

I was on Facebook and somebody had posted a clip of Nikki’s air con tantrum from BB7 and I wanted to watch the full series. I went on YouTube and typed in Big Brother 2005 which was the wrong year but I thought the housemates were so good I ended up watching that whole series instead :laugh:.

I was curious to find out what the housemates from BB6 were up to and one of the google links sent me here. I did lurk for a few months before I actually joined tho.

Via DS housemate poll thread (favorite or eviction), I think.

It listed thisisbigbrother.com as one of the sources for a poll (name of the site first and below the poll results).

So when I did one of the housemate favorite or eviction polls on DS, I came and check the first page and then eventually entered the forums, lurked as a guest for a while until finally joining.

My memory sucks but I still remembered this was how I found tibb

Kinda odd how things work sometimes. I would've never thought to join a BB forum (let alone a UK one while being from the US and not even watching the BBUK version until years later :laugh:). Same thing with even getting into BBUS in the first place, randomly from a youtube clip of Dani & Amber going on a gameshow like Price is Right or something like that. I wasn't all that into RTV at the time either. ****, I don't even watch game shows either, so very random :joker:

as i said back then 2 years ago, i found it when looking for a nice BB forum

now BBUK is kinda on its hiatus, i just stay for other RTV discussions, forum games, and the news discussions

also still find it hilarious how british moan about their shows, while their shows seem much lovelier than some of the ***** in my country :fan:

I've been a BB fan since Season 1 and a fan of forums since 1998, I was googling something BB related in 2013 and the two magically came together in perfect harmony :hee:. Just think - if I'd thought to look for a BB forum earlier, you could have had me here from the off :omgno:... Although I was a very (VERY) different person as a teenager so there's a pretty good chance I would have been permanently banned within a couple of years.

Funnily enough, 2013 was the LAST season of Big Brother I properly watched and enjoyed, I only on-and-off watched 2014 and Helen Wood and co killed the entire civilian show for me. I watched the final season in 2018 'cos we knew it was the last, but I haven't seen anything of the 2015, 16 and 17 shows :umm2:.

So I came for BB but clearly I stayed for the highbrow company & scintillating conversation :joker:.

A couple of bans later, I'm still here and still gifting my opinions to all.

I'd only really seen a few CBB series and patches of normal BB before but when BB11 was supposed to be the last ever series I decided to watch it all and was surprised by how into it I got. I didn't really have anyone to discuss it with though so googled BB forums and ended up on DS. For some reason though they wouldn't let me sign up with a hotmail account so I gave up and tried the site second down the search results instead. If my email had been accepted I probably would have never found TiBB and never had my proudest achievement of becoming a forum moderator
