When did you start watching Big Brother?
 

I don't mean watching back reruns. I mean when was the first year you actually watched the show, whether it was because you weren't interested before or because of your age or whatever. Feel free to post reasons in the thread.

I first watched back in 2000 when it was all new and nobody knew if it was going to ever really work.

Series one

BB2

About 2 weeks in to BB1.

A friend kept saying how good it was so I gave it a shot.

Started halfway during BB2.

1999 or 2000.Whenever BB1 started.I did'nt even realise until i joined here that was a 'fan' until i realised i've watched every series and not missed many episodes at all.I can't remember every hm etc or events but i have seen them all and when i see clips i remember them.

2000. I'll never forget the naked romp. :eek:

..right from the first one..my favourite was Anna but Craig was a great winner as well...

BB5

You've even watched a series that didn't exist if you started in 1999. :laugh:

I think it did exist in Denmark...

BB5 but my first full series was BB6

Lol.I just edited.Could'nt remember what year BB1 was.

BB3 for the US version, BB11 for the UK version

I liked Anna... I also liked Darren... he was funny with the chickens.. :)

.. and Tom... I fancied him. lol

In and out since BB9 but not properly until BB13

Saw a bit of BB5 when my parents watched it, then BB6 was my first proper series.

...haha..Marjorie..:flutter:..yeah I liked Darren as well..it was also good that they had something to do..(although some housemates hated doing the chickens..)..like caring for something and to focus on but I guess that made for less drama and arguments...I'm not sure that Nasty Nick would seem so nasty now because they all have such contact from outside anyway and it's less a thing to discuss or being seen to influence nominations...

BB7 was when I first started properly watching. :)

BB12 :umm2:

BB7, 2006

I know right.I remember when writing anything down in there deserved capitol punishment.Nasty nick would'nt even be noticed these days.Back when no outside contact meant you could'nt even communicate to the outside via the cameras.

BB5.

I remember seeing the promo for Black Friday, and Big Brother Goes Evil, as it was advertised with the last ever Friends.

Originally, I was planning to only watch the last ever Friends, but I left it on Channel 4 after Friends, and the launch was on, and I remember Marco entering, saying he hated Asylum seekers in his VT, then for them to put Ahmed in afterwards, who's an asylum seeker, who also hates gay people. I knew it would be electric after that, and I was intrigued so continued to watch the rest of the launch, and loved it. And have been a BB fan since.

2002 I didn't have the channel up to then. I said after a few years, I am not going to watch this anymore as it is taking up my whole summer but years later I am still an addict lol

BB1

BB10 was the first Big Brother that I properly remember watching.

I watched the 12pm clean reruns of BB11, then watched HL reruns of UBB, and the live shows live. Since then I have watched it all live.

In 2014 I went on holiday for a week so used all my €1 for 10 minutes of internet each evening to watch all of the clips and see who left. It was the week Zoe left and she was my 2nd fave so I literally went back to the apartment, put my head under the pillow and almost cried.

Day 1 .

Last year - watched an episode one night as there was nothing else on and stuck with it for the remaining 7 weeks of the series.

Only when I went back and watched some Classic C4 series did I realise what a load a sh*t BB15 was!

I started around halfway through BB10 because my sister watched it. I've obviously gone and watched every old series before that.

bb15 (2014) :S

Posted this in another thread, but I watched the last few weeks of BB7, 8, 9 & 10 (I used to go on holiday to Spain in the summer so I couldn't watch the full series). BB11 was the first full series that I watched, and I loved it. I remember skipping quite a lot of BB12 as it clashed with X Factor, but I watched the full series of BB13 and every series since. I was 8 when I first watched an episode of Big Brother!

bb5, and what a series that was

back when there was live feed all day. i did spend far too long watching it though

A tiny bit of bb1 but got addicted bb2

No the Danish BB started in 2001. The Dutch one started in 1999 though.

Then you will remember the housemates feeling sorry for Kitten then practically shoving Kitten out the door as the prize money went down :laugh2:

BB1

BB11 online in 2011, since then I've been doing "anuual maratons" watching each year from C5 regular series till January CBB, filling the gap inbetween with a random C4 series (still haven't finished all C4s).

Came in one night and flicked through the channels and saw Dean, Bubble, Amma and I think Narrinder up in the early hours keeping a camp fire going. Started to like them so I continued watching.

The importance of the live feed...

BB1 - 2000
