I missed a whole bunch of ch5 series because I stopped watching BB after it ended on ch4 (I watched CBB11 and CBB14 to present) and I've kept putting it off because it seems like a slog, but I'm gonna start my watch tomorrow.

It's probably not the best idea starting this as CBB is about to start but while I'm off work, I thought I may as well lol.

Does anyone have any recommendations for which series I should start off with? I could just do it in order but ideally I want to start with one that has a really good opening week or so to get me into it. I'm not bothered about spoilers as I know who the winners are etc.

Multiple choice poll.

BB13 and then BB14

CBB9 onwards

Skipping trash CBB14

[Firewire]

Watch CBB9 first, then any order after that really.

Where do you find these old episodes?

There's loads of different sites, but youtube is usually the best (most of the time you have to download them via a proxy because of country restrictions etc)

For civilian, start with BB13 and for celebrity, start with CBB9 (Channel 5 BB didn't exist prior to that)

[Macie Lightfoot]

13 and 14 are the only BBs worth watching. For CBB, you can skip 8 for sure and maybe even 10 too tbh.

BB13, BB14, CBB9 & CBB13 are the must-watches.

If you want an order to watch them I'd say watch them in order of actual airdate i.e. CBB9 > BB13 > BB14 > CBB13

[Daniel-X]

BB13 is the best to start with.

BB14, CBB9, CBB10 and CBB13 are all worth a watch too imo.

[Lostie!]

BB13 without a doubt.

[MTVN]

Think BB12 is often considered the best series in many a year so thats gotta be your starting point

[Raph]

Voted BB14, but BB14 or BB13 would both be good options

[Jamie89]

Thanks everyone I think I'm gonna go with BB13. CBB9 is getting a lot of love too but I feel like watching a good civilian series after the BB16 fiasco and with a celebrity series starting in a few days anyway. Plus I've heard loads of good things about Deana so yeah, I think my minds made up!

You will love BB13 I've almost finished rewatching it and it's been just as amazing the second time round

[Jamie89]

Also, I'm REALLY dreading BB15. After seeing Helen in BB16, I can't imagine watching a whole civilian series with her in it, and then winning it lol! So I might save that one for last

[Lostie!]

Oh, BB15 becomes infuriating and the awful ending just makes it all worse.

[Samm]

The first 3/5 weeks of BB15 are watchable and alright, it all turns to **** after that

I was tempted to start with BB15 just to get it out of the way but I've moved on from that madness. I might even skip it all together, I'll see how I feel after watching the others.

I'm really looking forward to it now, it's quite exciting to know that it's a good one and even though I know who wins/gets evicted etc, I have no idea what the characters are like and what happens during the series

BB13
