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

[Pete.]

CBB9 onwards

Skipping trash CBB14

[Firewire]

Watch CBB9 first, then any order after that really.

Where do you find these old episodes?

[MB.]

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

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)

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.

[Headie]

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

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!

[Lostie!]

[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

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

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
