Default Never Seen one C5 Big Brother, Whats the best to watch?
No celebrity ones please. Just the Civilian one.

Could anyone recommend any of Channel 5's Big Brother's, do any resemble Channel 4's BB peak years. I would like to avoid any that plagued the last two or three BB's on Channel.

Agaisnt

1. Show be focused on a Fake romance or just one Contestant.
2. A house full of glamour models and wanna be celebrities
3. too many twists and crazy evictions.
4. Not overlong
5. The Villain of the show winning at the end

I would love if any have

1. Overall great cast
2. A good house divide that leads to a great battle between two groups
3. That good selection of great housemates in the final

Sorry for been picky but I don't want to be wasting time I have off for the next few weeks, watching a crappy BB. Thanks for the recommendations in advance .

My favourite is BB12, but BB13 probably matches your criteria better (it's really good too)

If we're only speaking civilian go for 13. 17 is a good series too but it has 4/5 of the things you're against apart from it being "too long" when it should've been longer

Good to see a member from this site go on the show, hopefully he did himself and the forum proud . I can't remember him, that well when I was on here back in 2009.

Grand thank you fit and healthy, hope you are well. Yeah they were the best times back then (wasn't it around BB10 time) and the two years after that, then a lot of the regulars left and it wasn't as fun plus I fell out of love with BB around BB11 time.

Anyone still around from that time, you must be the one of the few left.

BB13 and BB18 are the best two with house divides and great drama, along with rootable housemates.

None of them, they're all awful.

Infact, watch them all, just to see how right I am
