So I have seen 17 and 18 and am currently watching 6. I don’t think I will watch the really old seasons like 1-4 cause I don’t really like the old tv. So from 5 and 7-16, when and what order should I watch these other series?

7-11 and 13 are all great
skip 15-16 while you can

It all depends on what you like and dislike about BB.
Also, I would generally recommend series that you know very little about (that's including spoilers of winners/evictees) - as it's always more entertaining watching it without knowing the outcome.

I gladly don’t really know of any spoilers for BBUK. I only know that some people are really liked or disliked but I don’t know what week they go or how far they make it.

I’d say 5, 7 and 13 were priorities.

Cal. · 04-02-2018, 07:56 PM

The general consensus on here is that 5-7, 13 and 17 are the best series’ I believe.

Paige22 · 04-02-2018, 07:57 PM

I have a question. If I watch a later series will I get spoiled about series before?

that's great! I would've loved watching a few series without knowing some crucial spoilers (though it's still great even with it). Being on BB forum is a risk if it's something you wish to avoid (though you can always mention that and people would keep "spoilers" away from the conversation). Of course, if it's something that bothers you - you might not care so much...

10, 16 and 11 have spoilers for past series.

Luckily 11 and 16 suck and 10 is very love or hate

It's hard to say as I don't remember everything - but BB8, 10 and 16 all have ex housemates visiting at some point (cameos or more - 10 and 16 being the most revealing).
BB11's first eviction has Davina mentioning the names of all the 10 previous first evictees.
This is what I remember atm.

Paige22 · 04-02-2018, 08:02 PM

Since 16 is the most recent one I haven’t watched that will be left for the end.

The finals usually mention the previous winners too.

I'll put this bit in spoiler tags in case I spoil anything for Paige.

Davina reveals the names of all the winners from BB1-BB7 on the BB8 final too.

Jason. · 04-02-2018, 08:07 PM

BB8 spoils the first seven winners at the start of the final, but that doesn't really matter if you're not planning on watching BB1-4 and I doubt you'll watch BB8 before BB5 and BB7.

I remember one final showing a clip of all the previous winner announcements - was it BB8 or earlier?

Paige22 · 04-02-2018, 08:11 PM

I don’t think I would watch 1-4 unless you guys think they are worth the watch. Are any of the four worth it?

BB3 is definitely worth a watch, but I'd leave that until after you've seen the golden era at least as it's kinda dated.

I think that might have been the BB7 launch when Davina was talking about the auditions and then they showed all the winner's being announced during the auditions clip.

I've only watched 3 and it was good and I think the best of the 4.
4 is being labled as the most boring BB, so no-one would recommend it.
1 I believe should be nice to watch because this is where it all began (and it's nothing like BB now that's for sure) - I'm leaving it as the last one to watch.
I started watching BBUK back in 2011 and I'm now only left with 1-2 and 4, and CBB1-2.
