[Vanessa]

Science having a peek :eyes::laugh2:

[Jack_]

This is SO nostalgic

And still as hilarious as it was the first time

[Vanessa]

It was a great season.
So much going on!

[Vanessa]

Tweedle dee, tweedle dum and tweedle twat :joker:

[Smithy]

What’s tomorrow's ep?

[James]

What’s tomorrow's ep?

BB2.

My favourite series.

[James]

Yuk at the toilet brush.

[Macie Lightfoot]

alol I still can’t believe they’re ending this with boring ass BB2, let alone with a moment that didn’t even make a proper episode :joker:

[Vanessa]

Hope they show Big Brother 5. That lot was wild!

[Tony Montana]

Hope they show Big Brother 5. That lot was wild!

They're not. Tomorrow's BB2 episode is the last one.

[Smithy]

Omg Anthony :o

[Vanessa]

Craig and Anthony were indeed like an old married couple :joker:

[Daniel.]

That was gorgeous

BB6 :love:

[Tony Montana]

That was fantastic, easily the best episode.

[Dogeatdog]

That was fantastic, easily the best episode.

Agree :clap1: this has been my favourite episode out of all of them.

[Strictly Jake]

Yep i have decided bb6 was my favourite series. Thought bb7 was but nope bb6 for definite. Seeing makosi on my telly again was an absolute treat

[aman201]

Great ep tonight, no surprises obviously! BB 2005 was iconic.

Last night's ep was so bad, a poor CBB series I barely remember Davina and Rylan must be off their heads unless it's being filtered through the producers.

And ending with BB2 ffs lol. A dead series most people don't care about.

[aman201]

Forgot how much hate there was in BB6 lol. Actually think worse than BB5 for consistent drama. Fight Night or not.

[Denver]

Science could of and should have won but he kinda ruined it for himself

[aman201]

Science could of and should have won but he kinda ruined it for himself

Yeah.

From what I recall he kinda crossed the line to just being outright annoying instead of being the guy calling out Craig, Maxwell etc for the worms they were.

:skull:

[Samm]

mess he’s truly been erased :skull:

[aman201]

Lol. For the best imo.

Emma whilst not perfect was a far better presenter.

[rusticgal]

I liked Science....he ruined it for himself.

[Denver]

One of the most overrated housemates ever

[madman411]

Well the episode from Brian's season hasn't aired yet, Brian presented on C5 for a very short period of time compared to the other's being featured on Best Shows Ever.

If I remember correctly didn't Brian get fired or kicked off presenting?

They've omitted series 5 for what ever reason, wouldn't surprise me if they had their reasons for omitting Brian.

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah from what its made out on this show when davina left emma got the call and took over as presenter they dont wanna mention brian....that auas though surely they will have to mention him in tonights episode

[BBDodge]

Yes, Brian still had a year left on his contract when he got the boot. I think it was our old friend Ben Frow who dumped him.

Only good thing Ben Frow ever did.

Feel kinda bad for him lol

[hijaxers]

My biggest mistake switching channels to early and watching five whole very long minutes of Sheldon ~ who the hell watches this shyte

[Samm]

out of 1, 2, 3 & 4. BB2 is the absolute worst. The first few weeks were fine. But apart from that HORRID. Even 80% of the cast was bad.

[NICKP]

The early series are much better then the later series

[Braden]

Paul looks like Alan Carr.

[hijaxers]

Another completely boring episode !

Off to watch paint dry

[James]

You can't under-estimate how huge this series was in the media.

The housemates were front-page news for weeks after the series ended.

[Daniel.]

You can't under-estimate how huge this series was in the media.

The housemates were front-page news for weeks after the series ended.

The same can be said with any series from BB1 - BB7

[reece(:]

This episode is boring as sin and reminding me why I watched this series on 2x speed. Worse than ****ing CBB7 for christ sake and that's saying something. Picking these episodes is really underrating how good C4 BB was... I mean at least show us some Narinder or Penny. These 5 are NOT IT.

[armand.kay]

i mean that doesn’t make the season good :skull:

[James]

Series 1 to 3, yeah. They needed stuff like fight-night after that.

[Morgan.]

Feel kinda bad for him lol

Awful situation he’s in :(

but take a shot every time he says he’s the ultimate housemate

[Morgan.]

Also ngl I always forget Brian hosted the show :skull:

[Headie]

Girl there's serial killers that are front-page news for weeks after their arrests that doesn't make what they did any better

[hijaxers]

Series 1 to 3, yeah. They needed stuff like fight-night after that.

Glad this is the last one because most of them have been well poor considering what they had to pick from ! Tonights is worst of the lot.
I also can't ake anymore of the fawning from Rylan and Davina.

[Daniel.]

Series 1 to 3, yeah. They needed stuff like fight-night after that.

It doesn't matter, the likes of BB5, BB6 and BB7 were in the media for far more reason than fight night,

[James]

You didn't watch it live at the time though.

This series was more about humour, it didn't need the huge arguments that they relied on later.

[Daniel.]

So what?

BB5 was a much more humorous series.

[madman411]

Well back in 2001 this whole format of TV was very new and popular as a result. Fast forward 19 years and we've seen it all. It's nostalgic for sure and great to Davina in the BB setting again on C4 and I am convinced they didn't really have much of a choice in the episodes they chose.

I just wish Rylan didn't keep stealing Davina's spotlight. Would've made more sense to have Davina and Emma or Davina and Dermot.

Rylan comes out for a potato planting

[reece(:]

If I watched live feed for this series I'd have the camera on the chickens than the actual housemates

[Samm]

Yeah both 5 and 6. Even especially 5 was a lot more funnier. The box task for one yesterday didn’t have any big arguments and relied solely on humour

[Macie Lightfoot]

You didn't watch it live at the time though.

This series was more about humour, it didn't need the huge arguments that they relied on later.

I think it's entirely possible to acknowledge that something that was good and enjoyable at the time doesn't age all that well and ends up being kind of mediocre in hindsight. That's basically what happened with the second Survivor season for me. It was huge at the time and holds a place in my heart but then on retrospect it's probably one of the weakest early seasons. And that seems to be kinda true with BB2 too honestly.

[Braden]

I'm actually quite enjoying this episode. It's nice to see people just act like normal human beings and get on for the most part. Quite sweet, really.

[James]

Another thing was they didn't have the same level of manipulation as in later series.

Although, to be honest, the housemates were more wise to Big Brother so they producers do need to help things along a bit, to bring out reactions.

[James]

BB4 was the boring one. It was quite different to BB2.

However 4 was still watchable enough at the time.

[aman201]

out of 1, 2, 3 & 4. BB2 is the absolute worst. The first few weeks were fine. But apart from that HORRID. Even 80% of the cast was bad.
Yep, really bad series.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I don't really know what humor was in BB2 though :shrug: If I wanted to watch something humorous I'd go with a Federico or Lisa Jeynes highlight reel before I touch anything BB2 related.

[James]

Brian was really funny. So was Helen in a different way.

[Strictly Jake]

No sorry I found that boring

I understand at the time it was a completely new concept it was all about an experiment and the chickens are cute. It was all simple and just a fly on the wall tv programme. It would have worked for the time and I bet it was more enjoyable back then

But we have hindsight and we knew how entertaining series 5 to 9 were and they are so rewatchable. I wouldnt wanna watch these older series they just seem boring. I was young so never watched it at the time but I do remember it was a big deal and it was in the papers a lot so I get the nostalgia aspect to it

It was a bit of an underwhelming specials series I think I only enjoyed the bb6/bb7 episodes

But again that could be to do with them being the series that I watched in full when they were on live so to me they are nostalgic too(but dont feel that long ago at all)

I can see big brother coming back with Davina but I am so scared it would flop badly

[James]

Another thing about BB2 was many at the time found the Helen and Paul relationship compelling.

Something like that had never been seen on television before. A real relationship, not scripted, developing on-screen.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I personally think it’s kinda creepy that the relationship was glorified since Helen had Big G on the outside but hey, I guess 2001 was a different time :shrug:

[James]

Yeah, I remember Simon Pegg going on BBLB at the time, and pointing that out.

[Captain.Remy]

The early seasons have to be watched while thinking about the context, I believe.
Many things happened that could occur today as "boring" or whatever, but at the time it was all fresh, new and polarizing. I think it's fascinating tbh

[BBDodge]

I personally think it’s kinda creepy that the relationship was glorified since Helen had Big G on the outside but hey, I guess 2001 was a different time :shrug:

BB glorified Chantelle and Preston too. Even invited Preston's girlfriend to the final to watch the Prestelle best bits.

And Stephanie Davis dumped her boyfriend during CBB in 2016 to get off with Jeremy McConnell.

[Denver]

So they didnt show BB5 because Jason is a murderer?

[BBDodge]

So they didnt show BB5 because Jason is a murderer?

1. We don't know it's the same guy
2. The trial hasn't begun yet.

[Tony Montana]

Last night was the deadest episode ever. Way to end the show with a terrible episode.

[madman411]

So they didnt show BB5 because Jason is a murderer?

I've @ C4, BB and Davina a few times on twitter and instagram asking what happened to season 5 and I've had no response.

I'm currently re-watching BB5 and just finished the morning after the night before (fight night) and the entertainment value still holds up. This was also the first full season of BB that I watched live and I was hooked.

I find it amazing that series' of the show aren't available in their entirety from the network. With every network running a streaming service now it seems more doable than ever... however with what's happening in the world now I would see why they'd err on the side of caution making some of this content available because it could potentially offend some overly super PC viewers.

[Greg!]

Is that good or bad :worry:

[Marsh.]

Is that good or bad :worry:

An average of less than a million and the viewing figure dropped with each passing episode.... not good. :laugh:

[Greg!]

I mean in comparison with E4's other shows it might be good but idk

[BigBrudder]

I think its great actually, who would expect repackaged repeats of ten plus year old BB eps to average in the high six figures! On E4 no less! Every night for 2 weeks straight! Did better than almost everything on the channel!

[madman411]

I think its great actually, who would expect repackaged repeats of ten plus year old BB eps to average in the high six figures! On E4 no less! Every night for 2 weeks straight! Did better than almost everything on the channel!

Agreed. And there were likely viewers who weren't even old enough to watch/remember some of the early episodes. I would've even bet any BB5 eps would have gotten decent viewing figures too.

[Jarrod]

Is that good or bad :worry:

They all fell within the top 10 of the week for E4, so I'd say it was a job well done for 10 year old repeats.

[Jake.]

BB3 and BB6 added very impressive figures!

[UserSince2005]

This was pathetic.

Literally they chose most of the celeb episodes because of the names in the house rather than the actual quality of the episode.

The BB3 episode was chosen to show they once had Allison in the house, wow!

The BB7 episode was uncomfortably bitchy and repetitive and only picked for the 30 second scene of Nicki in the diary room. They should have picked the episode where the 4 housemates returned I recall that being a really good and funny one.

The only episode that I felt was actually really good and entertaining to rewatch was the BB6 episode and maybe the CBB4 talent show ep at a push.

How could they overlook BB5!!!? 10 should have got a look in also.

Nikki: *Laughing at over hearing Glyn*
Glyn "Grace is that you"
Nikki: *runs for her life*

Glyn: "GRACE I MISS YOU"
Nikki and Grace: "AAAAAHH"

BB: "Nikki you are forbidden from breaking the front door"

Nikki: *Doing fart noises down the phone to BB*

Oh and Glyn and Imogen speaking Welsh together like its their own little secret lanaguee was so cute.

[BigBrudder]

Great numbers, most nights almost doubled overnights. Ch 4 has to be pleased with the level of interest in BB fingers crossed for a revival soon!

[Marsh.]

Decent E4 figures is not decent figures for a show like BB.

It got the interest it did for nostalgia.

It wouldn't even get those for new series.

[BigBrudder]

Great numbers period. Ignore any serial threadcrappers, I'm with those working towards a more positive friendly forum!

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[Morgan.]

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

Being positive is not equal to thinking everything leads to a BB comeback.

[Jodie.]

Civvy episodes rating higher than the Celeb ones <3
Some of them eps would’ve rated WELL more had they actually picked good episodes :fist: The only enjoyable ones were BB1, BB6/7 and CBB3/4 (and two from CBB4 was a bad idea). I know they were restricted but a BB5 episode should’ve been in there atleast

[Marsh.]

:umm2:

Yes thinking C4 are bringing BB back makes you more friendly.

The fact you're being so rude to those speaking more realistically makes you the least friendly. :pat:

How could they overlook BB5!!!?

Because it was terrible

[madman411]

Because it was terrible

To each their own. BB5 was one of the best seasons imo. BB6 and 7 are up there too, but it was downhill from there.
