Default How did you discover big brother?

Were you a C4 viewer?, browsing the sky EPG and thought "hmm whats that?", did you read about it in the papers/see it on the news? or what?

I found it during BB3 when mum was watching something that was on prior to the launch on there. I had seen a little of BB1 (about half of 1 episode), because I had recorded something and let the tape run and I do remember seeing Brian on the news announced winner of BB2, but I never watched watched them.

I only ever watch C4 other than that to watch ugly betty, skins and scrubs, and that only started last year. What about you?

I was an abosoloute hater of the show until I actually started watching it last year.

I always , in secret , loved the concept but as an insomniac , I got drawn into it as something great to watch at 2 in the morning. The kickass theme song helped also.

So she got me into it.

Weel I think I'm the luckiest person ever about that because it's quite funny.
When I was 14, in my college, my english teacher told the students there will be an "English language contest" called "The Big Challenge". Well as I talked really well english, since I was 6 y-o, I won without worked a lot. My prize was some books, cd's and stuff. However, my own english teacher told me I was a lucky boy with great potential then he gave me the Big Brother website and how to download it.
I started with series 5 and sonce I'm a pure addict.

I was so bored one night that I turned on the final of Celebrity Big Brother 3. Having previously thought Big Brother was a load of tosh, I decided to watch the launch of Big Brother 6.

I was instantly hooked!

It was back in 2002, I was on holiday and I watched the final of BB3, so I figured I should watch the next series. I watched the BB4 launch and the obsession started there. It ended last year, unfortunately.

I was 8 years old and I lived in the US at the time and it was heavily promoted there, watched the first few episodes of BBUS, liked it, had to move back to the UK and watched BBUK, loved it, and it's an obsession ever since.

I thought it was a load of crap, then I watched BB4 and I still thought it was crap.

Then I watched a bit of BB5, but I didn't think I would change my mind, but then I was finally hooked.

I started watching BBUS at the very beginning of Season 2 by recommendation from a friend. When it was BB6, I was looking for a torrent of it online, and I ended up downloading BBUK instead of BBUS.

I turned over to BB1, saw a couple of minutes of it then me mum came in and turned over because she said it was too rude, ha.

Then I remember watching BB1 repeats somehow and I turned a ''BB1 repeat'' one and it turned out to be the BB2 launch, I watched that and still do now.

I don't like the fact I remember all that.

I basically found out about it from my friend. I remember watching part of BB1 and I switched on the TV and the housemates were talking about blowjobs, which I hadn't a clue what they were at the time (I was only 10). My mum told me off for watching it but I didn't really understand it anyway. My friend watched it every night so his parents must have been more errr... liberal.

I watched more of BB2 because I can remember Helen, Paul and Brian. I got that feeling of excitement when watching it which every child gets when they know they're wqatching something naughty.

Since BB2, I have watched it religiously and here I am now with it being one of my favorite TV shows.
