Which BBs have aged badly for you?

[Tony Montana]

Which series did you initially enjoy and were amongst your favourites, but now disappoints you on rewatches?


BB14 comes to mind for me- I've always had it as a top 3 C5 series along with 13 and 17, but I now prefer BB18 to it.

[Matthew.]

With hindsight, BB17 wasn’t all that great

[brat.]

13, looking bad literally none of the cast was likeable other than sara

[armand.kay]

13 was one of my favourite seasons at the time but i would NEVER rewatch

[Jake.]

14. Very average series which I believed was better than it actually was.

[Underscore]

13 is one of my favourite civ bbs, if not my fave but idk if I could stomach a full rewatch

Luke A and Adam make me ill

[Tony Montana]

I love 13, can’t get enough of it

[Elliot]

13 was good on first watch, but it isn’t as funny as I remember, and everyone was really unlikable lmao

[Denver]

20

[Tony Montana]

20

Civilians only

[Daniel.]

14 garbage
17 garbage except a few arguments

[Tony Montana]

What was funny about it?

There’s a lot of things I’d describe 13. Funny isn’t one of them tho

[Denver]

Becky saved BB13 and its died when she quit

[Daniel.]

Actually most of them have aged terribly

I remember finding Deana, Lydia, Chris and Sara really funny. Looking back outside of a few moments it was just really tense and catty

[Denver]

The same Chros who bullied women??

[Underscore]

Chris was VILE I remember when he picked his nose and ate it

[Ashley.]

11 seemed really fun at the time but not so much in retrospect.

[Tony Montana]

I can see your point

Chris was a paranoid mess who had ''small man syndrome'' and was a quite similar to David Brent

Lydia and Deana had that hilarious period argument

Sara had her rant about the Queen

[Tony Montana]

The same Chros who bullied women??

Who did he bully exactly?

[Liam-]

10 was a struggle to rewatch

[reece(:]

BB2 deserves more trashing, absolute snoozefest post Narinder

[Gstar]

BB12. I remember being excited to watch it at the time but looking back on it I don’t even think it should be classed as a series

[Headie]

BB9 aged badly for me when I realised there's hardly any likeable people at all, at least less than there usually is in BBUK anyway.

and the realisation that miss Appleton is low visibility most of the series

Rachel, Sara, Mikey, Lisa, Belinda, Maysoon and Stephanie were all likeable and nice people.

It's only Rex, Darnell, Mario, Alexandra and the Whisper Club who were all horrible people

[Matthew.]

NOT Mario being a horrible person D:

He just wanted to keep everyone healthy and safe :(

He was vile to Stephanie, Rachel, Katreya, Rex and Belinda

He even treated Lisa like **** at times

[Morgan.]

BB18 aged TERRIBLY. Loved it at the time but it's ... awful?

[Elliot]

BB18 aged TERRIBLY. Loved it at the time but it's ... awful?

Nah it’s still pretty iconic imo, I gave it a rewatch and it still holds up. Tho Chanelle and sukhi haven’t aged well as a housemate for me the agboola sisters, Isabelle, suemone and imo shockingly Rebecca all still hold up as great housemates. Outside of that one week after fight night there was always something iconic going on, like egg gate, the flat earth debate, 6f3 showmance ****, Rebecca and Chanelle crashing the wedding etc

[Ant.]

Me when Dr. Mario headlines the news for practising medicine without a license

[Marsh.]

It is funny though how looking back it's the C5 ones ageing the worst.

Obviously not looking at picture quality/widescreen etc and changing fashions the C5 ones look the worst in hindsight. Less is definitely more. It's probably why BB11 from C4 has aged worse than a lot of the others.

[montblanc]

BB17

not near as good as i’ve seen people on here make out

BB17 hasn’t aged well for me at all

[aaronneely2017]

BB14, I watched when it was live and loved it but my god its aged horribly and is thus far my least favourite ch5 civ series and massively overrated by the casuals. Then again i still have yet to endure BB12, BB15 and 16!

[Shaun]

BB7 :pipe2:

[UserSince2005]

Can’t really say my opinion has changed on any

In hindsight as fun as bb7 was to watch at the time. The twist after twists was really the beginning of the end for bb as a concept.

This sadly is true. As good as 7 was, it was quite flawed in many areas

[Daniel.]

17

[Jodie.]

Yeah 17 was BOSS at the time but looking back all I remember is the Other era (<3) and Lateysha’s eviction Xx

[Marsh.]

None I don't think. My opinion on each series hasn't changed with time. And I won't know if my opinion on them would differ on a rewatch since I don't see myself ever rewatching a full series.

That said, I didn't fully appreciate the comedy gold on offer in week 1 of BB8. Doesn't make up for what that series turned into but there were some golden moments. The clash of characters like Shabnam and Tracey and Lesley against your typical girly girls was priceless.

[Daniel-X]

I didn’t like BB18 at the time but in hindsight it’s way worse than I even thought at the time.

[100gwand]

BB11 was fun at the time, but after viewing some clips recently, I don't think it's that great.
- Revolving door of housemates and a lot of 'walkers'.
- The Shabby/Caoimhe and Josie/John James storylines were boring.
- I don't know how Dave and Steve lasted so long in the house, especially Dave achieving second place.
- More outside interference than ever before.

Ben, Andrew, Sunshine, Mario and Corin were all good housemates though (in my opinion).
