The early series can't be appreciated this long after by watching the highlights shows on youtube.

It's why I don't get how people can watch the show for the first time on youtube. Especially the early years.

Much of the BB viewing experience encompassed the live feed, the spin off shows, watching it live and as it happens, as it unfolds. Seeing the evictee all over the TV, newspapers passing comment on what was happening after they left etc.

So someone coming along who was in nappies at the time it aired, watching a half hour highlights on youtube and saying "It was dull" because it's 16 years old and completely different to what the show is now doesn't really mean much.

As for "overrated" I don't see how so? Where are the legions of people hailing it as the best thing ever?

The highest rated seasons on this site tend to be 6, 7, 10, 13 and ones like that.
