[BBDodge]

Saw a programme about the orginal Dutch version, how in HMs had become household names and the excitement on eviction nights.

So when it came to the UK version I tuned in from the start. It was all very low key until Craig found those bits of paper...

[Matt]

I was bored on CBB3 final night so I tuned in and watched.

I then watched the BB6 launch a few months later and became hooked.

[Ramsay]

Earliest memory is BB4 and i thought it was ****e

[lightyears]

been watching it from day one, cant imagine summer without it, if it does i'll be gutted

roll on bb10 bb11 bb12 bb13 bb14 ya get me?

[elliebrew]

It was when i was 14 in 2000 and i saw all the fuss about Nick lying and that hed been confronted in the papaers so i watched the episode were he is caught out and evicted and was hooked since then. watched every series since.

BB2 had be me hooked
BB3 was good but kind got a bit depressing with the divide so didnt watch for a few weeks.

BB4 was obsessed by and this is really when i started paying attention to the logo design.

BB5 again loved more than any other series.

BB6 i was most obsessed with in the pre series build up....the eye the house design etc, the finale of BB5 really physched me up for this launch.

BB7 similar to BB6 with the build up

BB8 same again

BB9 same as

and here we are

[Mister-Darko]

The first time I ever watched it was Alison's eviction during BB3. My sister was watching it, so I watched it too. After that I only caught random episodes of BB3, but started watching it every night from the start of BB4. Been hooked ever since.

[mkdfan]

I was 10 and BB1 was on and i saw naked ppl running around and was like O.o.

but i properly started watching BB2 wondering if there would be more nakedness lol.

Now it isnt about the nakedness.

[BigOz]

first time I think I durned the Big BRother Live Feed.... during BB8.. I actually watched the CBB4 series aswell.

[Novo]

When Andy Got Evicted In Big brother 1 i watched big brother 1 a few times after that Not much though then i saw the final And i remember The stage and Nick coming on it and craig winning and saying he'd give all his money to His disabled Friend

[StrawberryCake]

It was my mother who introduced me to "big brother" she told my father "That thing about the people in the house is on again" so I tagged along and watched it all the time since BB2

[Harry!]

The BB3 divide task [My first BB memory] caught my eye and I have loved it since.

[Princess]

I remember I saw some random BB4 footage on holiday but I had no idea what it was. I watched BB5 because it was on straight after the finale of Friends(my obsession before BB) and I adored it.

[Patrick]

I was in a hostal or whatever there called.. and My mum and all the girls were downstairs watchen BB3 and I came down and started to watch abit.
I cant remember BB5, All I Can remember was thinking Michelle was fitt.

And then came BB6...
And 7
and 9
Best things i ever watched

[Brad*]

I saw little bits of BB5 and BB6 because my brother watched it occasionally. Then, I watched the BB7 launch and as soon as Pete went in I was hooked!

[Nicola]

I watched BB1 when I'd started a Modern Apprenticeship course at College and all my friends were talking about it, I remember watching the Final in my bedroom and seeing Craig winning, and also bought the Element Four BB theme tune single!

BB2 was the first one me and my bloke watched together, and we've watched every one since, BB3 was the first one we really got addicted to but some we've liked more than others over the years.

[Marc]

I started watching BB from the first series, 2nd week... just after Sada had been evicted. My sisters had been watching it and they mentioned it to me, since then I've watched every big brother series. I have since watched the first week of BB1 so I've caught up
Thanks to my sisters I love Big Brother.. funnily enough they don't like it anymore

Same with me, my sister introduced it too me and she hasn't watched since BB3 lol.

[MR.K!]

Started watching little bits of BB3
Watched all from BB4 onwards...

[Patrick]

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.

[JOSHUAH!]

I remember loving the BB4 house - I don't remember anything else about BB4.

I tuned into BB5 and watched it since then - loved the house, the housemates, and I just continued watching Big Brother - then I became interested in the house design and the eye and found TiBB!

[Stentionhouse]

Saw something about it on C4 a couple of weeks before BB1 started. Wondered what all the hype was about so decided to watch. I can remember the free dialup friendly online live feed going live before the first h/l show aired. Happy days.

Silly sisters

[Tom]

I watched a live task in BB3 it was the basket ball one. Then I watched it every now and again, then remember watching it live when Kate & Johnny were stuck in the assault course tube thing

I dipped in and out of BB4, I don't think it was anywhere near as bad as people make out

Watched BB5 from the off. I just loved the evil thing and all the housemates conflicting each other (Marco going in then Ahmed saying he hates gays etc) that was genius that line up. I remember thinking when they put Nadia in "oh my god a ******. she'll get eaten alive in there and won't last". How wrong I was ...

Hooked since then, well except the period between CBB5 and Hijack, oh and CBB6. Even though 4 out of the last 5 series' have been rubbish I'm looking forward to BB10 more than ever ...

[matty0boy]

i started watching halfway through big brother 5 ... i got told of someone that a local girl was in big brother (michelle bass) and started watching , i always back a geordie housemate every year . so it was great to see anthony win it in 2005 and liam to get in the final in 2008 . I hope there's a male geordie housemate in this year .
