Post The New Collective Nickname for Big Brother Fans.
Our Derek Gibbons asked us the other night what we Big Brother fans call ourselves - I informed him we were TiBBers after he incorrectly guessed our collective names were 'Big Brother-ers'.

But it seems Channel 5 have now given us our little pet fan names.

Are you ready for it?

Spoiler:


Siblings.

bbuk Official Big Brother
Calling all siblings! Celebrity Big Brother will be on at 10pm this evening on C5, followed by Big Brothers Bit on the Side on 5* at 11pm



Sounds like something Alex Sibely's fans would call themselves.

Makes sense I guess LMFAO - so would it catch on?

Don't think it'll catch on, but I quite like it.

Not really that clever, but it should only be used within close family circles, which this is very definitely NOT!

And anyway that sounds quite cringy lol. Suppose it is cute though I guess. It is better then being a Little Monster or something like that.

I think its too much of a generic word for people to automatically understand it as a Big Brother reference unless coming from Big Brother itself. But I guess it makes sense. I don't think it will catch on, but who knows

Big Brother-ers is fat better. Derek should take control of Endemol.

When I used to be an Alex Sibley fan, we were known as Alex's Angels in fact my name on the C4 site was Alex's Angel

If you're one of those *****s that pronounce it 'tibber' then obviously not but if you're a smart person like myself you'd say it like 'Tee Eye BeeBee-er' and that sounds kind of cool.

That sounds cringeworthy, awful and pants. May it never catch on.

Do be careful. patting yourself on the back like that can lead to a dislocated elbow.

How about instead of Siblings just - Brothers?

So like 'FELLOW BROTHERS! It's time for the Eviction! Go watch and return to the forum immediatly, those of you joining Beastie in her discussion thread that she made last Thursday - please proceed to it now.'

Brothers sounds cooler - not ideal but better than 'hehe siblings!'

Yeah but even though the majority of Big Brother's viewers are Females and Gays - the majority of users on this forum are blokes...

So I think Brothers is cool for here - girls can just get their own nicknames.

Wrestling has clearly taken virtually all of the greatest collective nouns for groups of fans.

The people.
Hulkamaniacs.
Testicles.

Etc.
