Yeah I watched all three a couple years ago in the order of 7 then 6 then 5 and to me BB5 seemed the weakest and BB6 the stongest. BB5 and BB7 both have the problem of being really slow at times whilst BB6 never once gets boring, although I can see why they are seen as the two best.

I put BB7 above it though because my fave hm ever - Nikki comes from 7 plus it was far easier to get into. The Shahbaz dominated BB7 first week >>>>>>>> The Kitten dominated BB5 first week.

Nadia, Ahmed, Michelle and Shell <3 were all flawless hm's though.

i think "fight night" is overrated, to me the best moment from BB5 was when Ahmed tried to stage a coup against Michelle during the military theme'd task. that was hilarious.

No way. bb5 is by far and away the best series. It blows every other series out of water, perfect cast. It shouldn't even be disputed imo. Bb7 was too long, bb3 had pointless hms like lee and sophie.

WILL cut and paste my reasons from and old thread:

Amazing cast, losing luggage on night 1, food fights, prize money drop after the biggest character in the first week kitten caused trouble, then was ejected after a few days but after she left the show got better, naked rows, ahmed's bonkers A-H - M-E -D night type rap, his plate smashing, his intelligent, rows with Marco over homosexuality v racism, Nadia's cig rants, Ahmed's coo in army task, brilliant factions eg lipstick bitches v jungle cats, the bedsit, a transexual secret, mild mannered shell ended up being a trashy nude lawn mower and swearing, the wedding, michelle's pie jesu singing, jason's creepy grooming and bodybuilding, slobby kissing Vanessa, Stuart being stalked by Michelle, his cowboy hat meltdown, sex under table, Victor in DR eg lay some pipe, shock as ace Victor going from being safe to being evicted due to Shell's white girl mascara running tears, Nadia's triumphant win

Watched it on YouTube, okay so Fight Night was really good. Marco was such an awful housemate, he could start arguments but not finish them. Right back on launch night though Stuart made a homophobic remark to Marco indirectly on live TV, I'm surprised he never got punished for it. Basically Stuart came in and was over-whelmed by Marco's mannerisms and then I think Ahmed said 'Oh yeah we're all male' and then Stuart shifted his eyes and said 'That's debatable at the moment.' Something that bothered me from launch night.

Anyway, the only decent female HMs were Michelle and Emma. Kitten was unbearable, she kind of came in and decided she wanted to rebel against Big Brother, why audition for the show then? Shell was boring and Vanessa was bland, even with her arguments. I loved Nadia, I wished she did more though. I didn't like Stuart, Jason and Victor were awesome, Daniel and Ahmed were boring and Marco was really two-faced and acted like he was a bitch when he couldn't deliver face to face. Running off from Stuart on fight night, letting Nadia and Emma defend him and then not defending them afterwards. Why was Emma ejected fgs and not Jason or Marco?

It has a load of moments as above but also loads of nothing eps

I agree.

Not happy with the lack of #AhmedAdoration in your post

Ahmed, michelle and Nadia > the rest

Emma? :O

I think she's overrated, didn't like her or marco

I agree with you about Marco, but Emma was my fave from BB5.

It was a pretty special series, tbf.

Only second to BB6.

BB6 & BB7 were both better than BB5 tbh

You've got to remember that watching it for the first time 10 years later only highlights shows on youtube is different.

At the time we had 24/7 live feed so a couple of quiet highlights shows was nothing.

Also, "quiet" highlights shows are underrated. :hmph:

And for a 13 week series BB7 got duller faster and for longer in my opinion.

I remember just staying up watching live every night until like 3am.

Victor and Jason were always up late at night talking.

It was a totally different BB experience.

Yeah but I can only go off highlight shows from every series.

BB5 is weaker than BB6 and BB7 for that.

Yes, I know but you asked for people's thoughts on whether it was overrated. I don't think it is for that reason.

There's something about all of the series and experiencing them live, with all the extras that come along with it that can't be replicated on a rewatch.

No, easily best series. It annoys me when folks say bb7 was better, bb7 was reliant on twists and had several tedious hms, every hm on bb5 was brilliant even kitten and becki

BB7 was better:hehe: .

Agree.

After Grace went BB7 was hardly that entertaining.

This needs more Emma love.

:rolleyes: no it doesn't

can u just stop hunting down my emma stan posts pls its disturbing.

most times i make an Emma post you come and spoil things.

My faves>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>You r faves

bb6 is the best

Bb6 and bb5 stand above all other BBs.
