I'm surprised people like him because he was vile towards Loveita and Cassandra and didn't like losing to a woman.

BBCan4 is a vastly underrated season, far better than 3 and is nowhere near as bad as BB18

All of the cast with the exception of one or two delivered, almost every episode was great, the feeds were amazing and we got to watch Nikki ****ing Grahame on them, it had a great (albeit disappointing) endgame, etc etc etc

without nikki it could've been almost on par with 16

also can3 is top 5

BBCAN 4 <3

Cassandra is a queen we should all bow down to. I prefer her to any BBUK housemate bar my top five

aw thx hun let me import it here for Jason's knowledge

bc this thread is in desperate need of some Troy opinions (I will also try my best to come up with a BBUK analogy to each BBUS season!)...

BBUS3 - easily the best season imo. Dynamic cast where everyone contributes, gripping from start to finish, easily the most fleshed out and "complete" season. I'd compare it to BBUK5 as both seasons are as close to perfection as you can get.

BBUS6 - one of the most beloved seasons and certainly one of the most intense. The biggest in-house rivalry EVER, the Friendship vs. the Sovereign Six truly is the gold standard for two sides of the house completely hating each other and going at it. BBUK13 is the easy comparison.

BBUS11 - the BBUK6 comparisons hold true. Outrageous casting, drama from the get-go, so much **** happens that doesn't resemble normal behavior, etc.

BBUS2 - the original season that holds up surprisingly well over time! Everyone contributes fantastically, a little slow at times bc it's early 2000s reality TV, but still an essential season. BBUK1 is the obvious comparison.

BBUS5 - There's a lot of iconic stuff to this season! You have great heroes and villains, some of the most heartfelt moments ever, an epic rise and fall of an evil alliance, arguably the best BBUS twist ever, revolutionary gameplay. This season has something to offer for everyone! But for some reason, it doesn't POP as one of the best seasons ever for me, and I'm not really sure why? Sounds a lot like BBUK3.

BBUS17 - the only modern season of BBUS that is legitimately good, and pretty much because production stepped in ****. Audrey set the tone early on for chaotic and outrageous gameplay, and Vanessa carried the ball all the way to the end zone. Truly entertaining from start to finish, which is especially rare in modern BBUS. Think BBUK14 where in spite of production's flaws it still shines really brightly.

BBUS10 - good but ridiculously overrated. It introduced Dan Gheesling to the world, which really is an unforgivable sin (don't let me down Daniel, I *KNOW* you wouldn't stan someone who actively isolates himself and reads the Bible as the rest of the house is in a giant screaming match.) Think BBUK7 and how it's definitely a good season, but some people overrate it beyond belief.

BBUS4 - what seemed like the worst season ever at the time is actually pretty good! The big twist is a little annoying in terms of stunt casting but it's much better than the **** we get nowadays. The HGs as a whole are a little bit bland and not too likable, but Alison, Dana, and Jun are amazing enough for this season to be worth it. I don't know, the season's worst crime is that it's a bit bland and vanilla, but at least it's not offensive at all. There's no immediate BBUK equivalent, but I guess you can think BBUK8 in the sense that once upon a time it was greatly criticized but now people have come around to it?

BBUS13 - there really isn't an immediate BBUK analogy for this season. This is another season that manages to be moderately enjoyable in spite of everything production throws out there with gross returning players, dumb twists, and blatant rigging. Definitely not A Good Season in the broader context of BBUS, but considering what came immediately before and after it, BBUS13 shines brightly.

BBUS9 - think of your BBUK greatest hits of outrageous antics: Shell mowing the lawn naked, Daniel eating chocolate spread out of Jason's ass, Michelle and Stuart ****ing under the tablecloth, Kinga and the wine bottle, Grace chucking water on Susie. This is the BBUS answer to all of those moments in terms of trashiness. However, this makes the season seem much better than it actually is.

BBUS15 - the CBB5 comparisons are ridiculously obvious, and just like how there are somehow a bunch of CBBs worse than CBB5, there are somehow a bunch of worse BBUS seasons than BBUS15. Definitely the most thought-provoking (and frustrating) season from a sociological standpoint, and the first half is legitimately good with real blindsides (such a rarity in modern day BBUS) and the good people winning out. This unfortunately all goes to **** in the second half, but the first half still propels it up to yellow territory for me.

BBUS7 - a lot of people here LOVE this season but it's actually pretty ****ty! It's All-Stars and it was definitely a star-studded cast, but also a very redundant one to me (did we need a full 50% of the cast to be from BB5 and 6? did we REALLY need Janelle and Howie and James and Kaysar? The answer to both of those is no.) It also really bothers me that certain people like Lisa and Dana and Ivette were left out to make room for irrelevant ****s like Boogie and Erika and George (and while I wouldn't call Howie and Kaysar irrelevant, their casting was so ****ing redundant and unnecessary.) The boot order is tragic and the season was dominated by a bunch of people who I didn't really want to see back in the first place. I guess you can think of this as the CBB15 of the series, where a lot of stuff is happening and it's a critically panned season but for all the wrong reasons.

BBUS8 - BBUK15 easily. A season dominating by one of the nastiest HGs ever who has zero redeeming qualities. And, of course, production loves him/her. Again, there's ostensible "drama" and "stuff happens" but only to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

BBUS1 - I'd rank this here for what it's worth but I don't think I should really even go into it since it's not a typical BBUS season.

BBUS12 - BBUK4. Boring, static, nothing happens, easily the worst season ever at the time but overshadowed by the two seasons below it. Modern BBUS has a loooooot of problems and almost all of them can be traced back to BB12.

BBUS16 - a complete waste of time. Peaks in Week 2 (there are 13 x_x), an awful alliance of dudebros has a stranglehold on the season, Battle of the Block stifles any chance of power shift, the last month has some of the worst episodes imaginable with complete filler. This season literally has nothing going for it, and worst of all production LOVES this season x_x If this is the gold standard of the franchise then we're in for a rough ride. Just pick whatever series of BBUK you hate the most and this is the equivalent.

BBUS14 - I switch between 14 and 16 as my last all the time, this season is complete garbage. The newbie cast is the most inert imaginable, the coaches twist is annoyingly suffocating, and sure stuff does happen but it all involves people that I don't care about, or worse, people I ****ing hate. Think the BBUK16 legends twist with the BBUK12 cast.

my season rankings change all the damn time (like right now I'd probably bump 6 down just a little, 2 up a little, switch 10/4, maybe switch 14/16?) but the colors still hold true.

Thanks for this Troy

Interesting read and I love the BBUK comparisons for each series. I'm happy I've started with a season in the green zone.

Can't wait to check out BB6 and BB11. If they're like BB13UK and BB6UK then I'll love them.

Jared wasn't anything special

Kelsey however

[Daniel.]

I liked Jared

[Macie Lightfoot]

Jared was kind of an ass in his boot week but other than that he was fine? I think people are just usually ready to hate The Power Couple that ends up losing all their power by mid-game.

^^ correct list but bb1 shouldnt even be in the list and maybe bb9 should be lower and bb17 is too up
