I first heard of it during BB3 - I was living in a hostel and it was like 9, and I got told to go to bed 'cus I was like a little kid.
But I thought I'd be a rebel and sneak downstairs 'to get a drink' and I ended up going into the living room with all the women and watching some BB3.

The first series I properly watched though was BB5.

This is crazy, I keep getting the impression that the Americans don't know Big Brother exists over there?
They had guests on Bit On The Radio in Summer that didn't know about BBUSA, and I've seen comments on YouTube and then Karissa and Kristina didn't even know about it either. WAT.

Then I happened to stay down 1 Friday when it was an eviction and loved the whole process and watched the remainder few weeks haha!

LOL That's how my Nan was about BB7 actually, like almost the exact same as you.

Big Brother isn't really a big show here. Whereas I think it was the first mainstream reality show in the UK, here it started a month after Survivor, which was a massive hit, and the first season of BBUS was unbearably boring. I only heard about BB as a result of being a Survivor fan and going on Survivor forums. I only know a few people at my school who watch BB.
