CBB4 is the single best series of Big Brother ever. Period.

CBB3 had its moments and gave is the immortal 'yeah, Jackie'.

CBB1 and 2 were basically a completely different show because they were for Comic Relief and were only a week long, its unfair to compare them.

CBB5 was terrible with or without the race row. CBB6 was awful too and to cite that as "BB getting better" really is shocking for a BB fan to be saying.

CBB7 was a really good series but not a patch on CBB3, 4 or BB5 and 6.

I think BB would have been axed whether or not the race row happened. Before the race row CBB5 was only averaging 3.5m viewers which at the time was terrible- the celebrity series before it had 4.9m and the summer series 4.7m.
