I'm about to go out now. i'll maybe do it when i come back

[Liam-]

Like a car crash on the M4 and you can’t take your eyes off of it, nowhere near being the best episode though.

[Withano]

3rd place after David is dead and adulterer

[Tony Montana]

Mess I just realised this is in the BB19 Sub Forum :joker:

[reece(:]

Sweetie did you even watch

Punchgate is the only post- Natalie ep I watched and it disappointed https://atrl.net/uploads/emoticons/sorry.gif

[Epic.]

One of the best, but not THE best

[Mitchell]

It's good but David's Dead, Adulterer, Frenchy vs Leslie, Pantsgate >>>>>>>>

This, and the episode of 15 where Perez was humping the windows

[Jordan.]

Icr it David's dead outsold

[Cal.]

I love Roxanne but no

[Scoot]

It kind of lacks the completely unhinged madness and pandemonium of David’s Dead or Adulterer so I’d probably say no. It was excellent viewing, certainly, but it was more something spread out over several episodes rather than everything exploding in one episode.

(To be clear, what episode exactly are we talking about? The episode of the ‘incident’ or the episode where everyone’s talking about it?)

Imo it SHOULD be the episode where everyone's talking about it because the progression of Roxanne going from having the whole house wrapped around her finger to then becoming the public enemy and house outcast was iconic stuff but the actual incident gets more talked about even though I don't think it's as string an episode

[*mazedsalv**]

I'd say maybe 4th.

1. David's Dead
2. Adulturer
3. The Big Night of Rows (CBB14).
4. Punch-gate

Punchgate was not as pleasantly entertaining as a lot of others, but it comes at #4 because it was a really mesmerising episode.. and by Punchgate i do not mean that episode, but the weekend's shows (Thursday's HLs-Saturdays HLs). I think the peak of it was the Saturday HL show with her exposure to the rest of the HMs (the way she kept playing it on, to Ryan finding out, the death stare from the garden... whoever did the editing there was fantastic, the chants being heard and her walking).

I've said it before but it reminded me of BB1, it was like coming full circle with the Nick thing, his lies and his exposure. I said that had we 24/7 live feed, then Punchgate would have been even more unmissable, just watching it being exposed all live just like BB1

[Greg!]

1. Pantsgate
2. Punchgate (not the ep of the actual incident, the one where Rox is exposed and walks)
3. David's dead

:p

[Greg!]

What day in CBB9 does pantsgate happen I want to watch ha

[Daniel.]

I mean the Saturday show

[armand.kay]

punchgate is more of a saga than an actual episode though... although the episode where Roxy tells the boys is probably one of my favourite things ever sdlfkfnvsfkd

[brat.]

y'all seriously saying adulter is better than punchgate? roxeh did not produce an entire saga whilst give up ha entire career for you to say kim woodburn snapping was better, adulterer is so overrated

[armand.kay]

Adulterer is literally one argument while punchgate was a whole production the drama of it all, the stunts!!!

[brat.]

Adulterer is literally one argument while punchgate was a whole production the drama of it all, the stunts!!!

one argument which was only funny (funny subjectively) from one side, roxeh gave drama, roxeh brought tears, roxeh moved the nation! deserves an NTA

[Morgan.]

It was compelling, I couldn't take my eyes off it and I was constantly looking for updates to follow it - but there was no enjoy,net from the episode and it was all quite painful to watch so I can't say I enjoyed it nor was the best episode.

The best episode has to give positive enjoyment of some sort, this gave none. If it was a fictional event and happened in a Soap or drama, it would be the best episode by far but there's something about this that makes watching Ryan's career potentially destroyed by someone's actions, and Roxanne ruining her career in just a matter of words extremely uncomfortable.

I don't get why people say there was no enjoyment? Wasn't the moment when Ryan realised he was in the right, and he was so happy whilst Roxanne left like a moment of joy to watch? I loved Roxeh but even I smiled and felt happy when Ryan start crying when he heard the crowds

ALSO people saying it's not funny? That moment when Roxeh walks out and sees Ryan explaining the story, I haven't laughed that hard in so long. I would get the uncomfortableness punchgate would have if it happened for a week whilst we all knew it wasn't true but the house didn't, but when the episode aired you knew by the end Ryan would know the truth

Yes of course seeing Ryan's realisation and Roxanne leaving wasa moment of joy but the fact that happened in the first place certainly wasn't.

[brat.]

it's like a fairytale with a happeh ending, no? :p

[armand.kay]

well I must be a terrible person because I CACKLED thought punchgate

[armand.kay]

one argument which was only funny (funny subjectively) from one side, roxeh gave drama, roxeh brought tears, roxeh moved the nation! deserves an NTA

adulterer was a hoot and made for a cute lil meme for the fbook girls but it really just doesn't have the range that roxeh brought to the table

[reece(:]

Adulterer was leaps and bounds better

[brat.]

ah just thought kim was so overrated, we have had way better CBB housemates, the only part that was that funny was ha striding over with the cup as she screams adulterer but the rest of the argument was just ok

[armand.kay]

Adulterer was leaps and bounds better

to ÿõú! /redd

Except "adulterer!" has just become what defined her. She gave us an ENTIRE SERIES (bar the first few days). Roxanne being despicable for a day or 2 does not compare! :nono:

but we said best episode not best series :suspect:

[brat.]

roxeh fit a storyline worth a movie trilogy into 40 mins where as miss kim only managed an argument

[brat.]

i can get why people prefer kim since she was prominent for an entire series, but if we are talking about the best episode, roxeh's best episode > kim's best episode

[Marsh.]

but we said best episode not best series :suspect:

You said Roxy provided a "saga".

Kim provided a "series".

:hee:

[brat.]

You said Roxy provided a "saga".

Kim provided a "series".

:hee:

a saga... in one episode

[BBDodge]

David's dead was the best, because it had humour despite being about a sad loss.

And it just had a perfect set-up with Angie in the house at the time of her ex's passing, choosing to pick Tiffany to tell, and David Gest lying under the bedclothes ill. All the elements fell into place to create a totally bizarre scene.

Enjoy again:

It was nowhere near the most hilarious. As much as I adored her downfall, Sally’s drag of her, Roxanne manurisms and Emma’s interview (that’s quite worrying tho Roxanne :/). There have been way funnier moments in Cbb, and I’d probably say my personal favourite in that regard is Gemma Collins refusal to do tasks. With that said, punchgate is probably the best saga reality tv has EVER seen.

People saying it would’ve been better in a soap opera... when a soap opera tries to tackle a sensitive subject people care about it like 5 seconds after watching it and move on with their day. What made punchgate so fantastic was that it was infact real. These were real people living out a disturbing and uncomfortable chain of events. I didn’t even think a show like Cbb would be able to tackle a subject like this considering how tacky it can be, but it really has put false accusations under the microscope. Roxanne is only made better by the fact that she’s a real person. That she’s really trivialising domestic abuse and trying to ruin a mans life. It gives you something tangible to throw your distain towards and actually makes you think and emphasise with the situation. So many people asking questions like ‘imagine if she did this behind closed doors, if it happened in the bathroom ect’ has made people realise how severe stuff like this is. No other reality show could have this sort of scope. Like it’s not even comparable to Kim yelling at a bunch of z listers or Tiffany thinking David is dead. Sure, they’re far more hilarious and more akin to what big brother has been about for so many years. Punchgate was something quite different, something that I don’t think any other sort of medium could’ve pulled off in the way Cbb did. I mean she managed to become the 2nd most talked about and googled person in the uk off of a long dead tv show, alongside literal royalty lmfao

[Niamh.]

David's dead was far superior

[Gstar]

Punchgate isn’t even in the top 5 :laugh:

[Epic.]

My top 5 would be

1. David is dead
2. Pantsgate
3. Punchgate's conclusion episode
4. All 4 Jackie Stallone episodes
5. Julie's eviction + HL's leading up to it

Kim is one of my favourites but adulterer is hardly a top 5 episode when not much really happens up till that point :laugh:

[JerseyWins]

Literally 10 of Kim Woodburn's moments beat this.

This punchgate moment really wasn't alllllll that. :shrug: It was decent but.. for one, it was a bit too scummy to be THAT iconic and two, really one of the few greats parts about it was when Roxanne walked into the backyard and stopped and shook her head @ the others having a meeting about her lies / exaggerations :joker:

[Elliot]

Kim is one of my favourites but adulterer is hardly a top 5 episode when not much really happens up till that point :laugh:

Stacey and Jessica arguing about who’s had a more difficult life after Jessica tried to defend Kim woodburn <3

[JerseyWins]

Eh I wasn't really thinking about it as an entire episode but CBB19 still had multiple better episodes, maybe ones that aren't branded with names or are underrated in the BBUK community, and David's Dead is an obvious one that's better than this for me.

[Daniel.]

You do know I mean the episode she left

[Tony Montana]

You do know I mean the episode she left

Put that in the title then

Otherwise people will assume you mean the actual ‘Incident’ episode itself

[Daniel.]

Its obvious tho

[JerseyWins]

I don't remember the two (or 3 or 4) episodes apart regardless :joker: It was all one big blur for me

[Ant.]

Its obvious tho

a saga... in one episode

She didn't?

She had a couple of "moments" across a couple of episodes.

None of which provided one entire classic episode like the others mentioned.

:idc:

punchgate conclusion is definitely a classic episode but ok

[Alf]

It was a good episode, but probably not the best. I'm sure there was better in the glory days of Big Brother.

[Marsh.]

punchgate conclusion is definitely a classic episode but ok

:nono:

[brat.]

:nono:

it's like the most viewed episode in 3 years and the most talked about episode probably ever (maybe other than david's dead)

[Marsh.]

the most talked about episode probably ever

[Ant.]

]it's like the most viewed episode in 3 years [/B]and the most talked about episode probably ever (maybe other than david's dead)

the CBB22 launch had 2.51 million viewers while Punchgate at most had 2.23 million viewers

[Ant.]

(and let's not talk about how nearly all of CBB19's episodes beat that figure :smug:)

[brat.]

you really thought i was gonna go back and check all the figures huh, ANYWAY t'point is punchgate is undisputedly a classic

[Scoot]

Honestly I would probably rate punchgate higher if more happened in a single episode, but it’s definitely more of a soap storyline played out over several episodes.

As an individual episode I’d probably put the Hardeep/Sally racism episode higher than the episode with the ‘incident’ tbh. The episode when everyone finds out/turns on Roxy is the best of the series though.

[Daniel.]

I edited the title, I thought it would be obvious, the ep of the incident was trash
