Just the way Davina spoke about it, and the audience got on and stuff - and that was the feeling I got from watching it on the computer 9 years on. I could only imagine what it would of been like in 2002.

Also though that feeling was very much there for BB7 aswell if I'm honest - although that was probably the very last time you had that 'Event' feeling with Big Brother.

I am not a big fan of BB7. Even though it had some great moments, I found it boring for the most part, although it did follow on from two consecutive amazing series in BB5 and my own favourite ever BB6, so I guess that didn't help my opinion of it. Maybe it's one I need to try and watch again though sometime?

It is very popular though with fans and I agree that one was probably the last that really felt like an event, but I remember the feeling of BB3 at the time a bit special and everything about the final and the excitement was perfect apart from Alex not winning. It must've been even more special for Kate fans.

On the topic of BB7 though, I can remember travelling to work on the tram the following friday morning after launch night and the school kids got on and they were all talking about it, but particularly about how wonderful Pete was. I was thinking "Erm no he wasn't, what's he done that's so wonderful?, apart from throw himself down the stairs and said wanker like 242 times already".

I just knew he was likely to be the winner there and then.
