Default How did you discover Big Brother?

Like the first time you watched it, did you read about it in the paper, just randomly come across it on the TV, a friend told you about it... you get the point.

I can't really remember how I came across it first time around, but I can remember watching the last few weeks... come to think of it, I think a couple of my friends were watching it so I decided to too.

Then on BB5 I was watching an episode of Punk'D on C4 and BB came on after it quite late at night, the one were Shell ran around the garden naked. So I started watching more from there. The rest of the later series' I either just randomly came across them on TV or saw them in the paper.

My sister and Mum and Dad watching the first episode of BB2, and from there I just got hooked.

Im now much more hooked than both of them. My Dad watched some of them, he enjoyed BB7 the most, didnt watch BB9 much and liked CBB6 shockingly, maybe because he knew/liked all of the older celebs like Terry, Ulrika ect...

My sister watches it still though but was dissapointed in BB8 and BB9.
And my mum doesnt watch it at all anymore (since BB5), she just watched CBB5 when the raicism row happened.

My mum watched BB1 but apparently I was too young. LOL
But I got to start watching it with her half way through and have watched ever since.
Only started to get involved by reading mags etc later on like BB5 and then joined TiBB through BB9.

During BB1 in 2000, i remember people at work talking about it and at first i just thought it's for vile people to watch, so i watched and tv looked so bleak before Big Brother.

My dads watched since Day 1. I remember scenes as far back as BB3 when I was only halfway through primary school, like Kate rolling about drunk and the BB4 fish bowl (random, yes) But I properly got into it around BB5.

I saw the Channel 4 documentary about Dutch Big Brother shown around Christmas '99 when they asked people to apply for UK BB.

One night during BB3, my dad turned it on and he was just watching people sleeping in their beds. I didn't know what it was until a few weeks later when I went on holiday with my neighbours, and they wanted to watch the final. Then I remember really liking it so I watched the BB4 launch and the rest is history as they say.

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...
