I definitely agree it's the funniest, for me anyway.

I don't really find any other series funny, apart from Nadia and Ahmed's antics in BB5!

[Jason.]

Surely CBB5 is the series which got the most media attention (for the wrong reasons) but that went global.

[Daniel.]

BB5 and BB6 got good media coverage too. Craig and Makosi in particular got the headlines for BB6.

I think it's cos BB6 housemates had no actual conditions. Like in BB7 Nikki had suffered from anorexia, Lea from body dis morphia, Pete had tourettes ect.

It's a cult classic but some casual viewers felt it was too nasty and dark and that did not generate viewers/the same interest as a lighter series like BB7. Also could it be said that 7/7 distracted some people?

omg I remember seeing on the news videos of people on the streets of India burning effigies of the BB producers. It definitely had the most widespread coverage of a BB series ever

[Jason.]

You even had politicians talking about CBB in Houses of Parliament nnn

[Pete.]

Some USA news channels talked about George Galloway too. The impact tbh

[Cal.]

The antics of Anouska and Nush got more headlines than CBB5.

[Daniel.]

BB5 Fight Night got spoke about in Parliament, didn't it?

[Jason.]

Yeah I think George (an actual politician going on trashy reality TV) mustered up some headlines during CBB4.

[Lostie!]

I actually watched a US news report on the CBB5 scandal the other night.

[EspeonBB]

I remember a controversy about the Golden Ticket situation and how they apparently rigged it for Susie as well.

[Daniel.]

Apparently all the balls had 14 written in them.

[Jason.]

Harrowing exposay

[Daniel.]

Lol i think this just shows how much BB went downhill

[EspeonBB]

nnn I don't see why production would rig for Susie (someone they hated) though

[Jason.]

Idr Fight Night being spoken about in Parliament but Victor did mention something about it being talked about in America, Belgium, etc but I'm not sure if he was just over-exaggerating it.

[Cal.]

I don't believe there was anything dodgy about the Golden Ticket. If they wanted Susie in so bad they could have just put her in on a Friday night with no fuss. Why go through all the trouble of the ticket thing?

I don't think so but it made the news

[Daniel.]

People called the police too. Apparently if they didn't remove someone the whole show would be cancelled, and they saw Emma as the most volatile.

[Jason.]

It's funny how Fight Night got like 60 Ofcom complaints but if it happened nowadays, it'd get like 10,000 or something.

Exactly. I doubt Channel 4, Endemol & Kit Kat would all participate in a scheme to get Susie of all people into the house

[EspeonBB]

You know C5 are desperate for their own version of Fight Night
