I've seen 5 (well, all but the finale atm), 6, 9, 10 and 11. I'd strongly recommend 5, it's been amazing imo and one of my favourite series worldwide.

And it feels a lot less sanitized than the Channel 9 ones because of the Uncut companion show (which was sometimes messy because the BB5 housemates were horny as **** and a lot of it is just smut you can skip if I'm honest lmao) but was also crucial in getting the full picture on certain controversial events in the house so having that definitely added to the series I think.

I really enjoyed 6 too but watching 5 straight after and loving it so much has sort of overshadowed it a bit in my memory.

And of the Channel 9 ones of course 10 was my favourite, my mind's fuzzy on 9 but I don't remember it as anything special and 11 was pretty meh.

Both Glenn and Geneva sound like they're losing their voices at the finale.

[Lostie!]

Kate too! Is some sort of throat virus going round or something?

[Lostie!]

I really love BBAU finales, they're have such a really good atmosphere and feel to them. Having the final two come out to a red carpet with all the evictees stood on each side was really cool.

[Lostie!]

Finished BB5! Amazing series, honestly one of the best imo. So consistently entertaining for the majority of the series (started to lag a little in the last few weeks when there was hardly anyone left but that's understandable and bound to happen tbh).

Congrats on watching one of the better Aussie BBs, I watched 5 pretty recently and my rankings were near-identical to yours. Good to see Rachael and Gianna get some love <3

[Lostie!]

I've clearly got the BBAU bug because I've moved right on to BB4.

Don't see myself speeding through this one as fast, but I said the same about the last two.

Launch Night:

1. Aphrodite
2. Catherine
3. Ashalea
4. Elle
5. Merlin
6. Trevor
7. Terri
8. Bree
9. Ryan
10. Krystal
11. Wesley
12. Paul
13. Kane
14. Igor

Enjoyed that launch! I'm expecting a less scandalous series than BB5 but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Looking forward in particular to experiencing Bree and Ryan as housemates since I'm so familiar with them from co-hosting Friday Night Live from BB5 onwards!

I know a few eviction results and the final result but I don't know the full boot order so I'm gonna make an effort to stay away from spoilery info this time.

Yeah they were both really underrated and got an unfairly rough ride at times I thought!

Week 1:

1. Elle (+3)
2. Merlin (+3)
3. Catherine (-1)
4. Ashalea (-1)
5. Aphrodite (-4)
6. Trevor (-)
7. Wesley (+4)

9. Igor (+5)
10. Ryan (-1)
11. Bree (-3)
12. Paul (-)
13. Krystal (-3)
14. Kane (-1)

Enjoyable first week. This series is less of a livewire than BB5 but that's not really a bad thing as it's still enjoyable in a different way. A fun, lighthearted start with a gradually building tension and dashes of drama here and there, a good mix tbh.

Not you watching them backwards

Do you plan to watch 7?

[Lostie!]

Yeah I will do, I've seen a few weeks so I would like to watch the whole thing at some point.

[Macie Lightfoot]

ooh I've heard some tings about 4 and some people in it so I'm curious as to Lostie's opinions

[Lostie!]

I'm aware of a few notable events so I'm looking forward to seeing them in their full contexts

[awhael]

You'll probably love it Lostie, most people do, but I personally hated this season. The personalities seemed very manufactured to me compared to seasons before and after this one.

Oh really? I'm gonna be putting it on the backburner a little anyway, just remembered I wanted to watch some old Apprentices I haven't seen when I finished BB5 (and of course there's BBUK starting next week)

I'll still be watching it but at a slower pace probably so if I have any problems with it I'll probably dip in and out.

Have you seen every Australian series?

All except 7-9, its definitely the series I have seen most of. I hope I haven't affected your perception of the season, I'm just a lone dissenter in a sea of proponents. Maybe because, in my opinion, it's sandwiched between the two best seasons of the show I'm overly critical.

Oh no not at all, I myself am highly critical of some very popular BBUK series, it's all subjective really.

Oh I've heard a lot of good about 3!

Watched a few more episodes last night. I cracked up at a few of them getting deep and talking about personal issues regarding death etc and then Ashalea just pipes up with "Guys, we're in Big Brother and we're talking about death".

[Lostie!]

Aphrodite, Merlin, Ashalea and Igor making a pact to stay up til sunrise but then going to bed 35 minutes later.

[Lostie!]

I'm still getting used to watching Bree and Ryan as housemates

[Lostie!]

Most of the women having a mass argument

Might put this on hold for a while I think. I'm enjoying it but it's definitely suffering by being watched directly after BB5 which was just brilliant, I think I should wait a little while longer so I can appreciate it in it's own right and not keep comparing it in my head.
