Favourite/Best BIG BROTHER Poll. Relive or Revile!

BB5

This was sort of started on a reflective note, as I wondered about if I ever saw the DVD of the 'bedsit' year, I'd get one if I saw it cheap in a carboot sale.

Then I find that they stopped after the poor sales of the BB4 one.

BB2

I remember far too many of these people. Mostly the horrible ones, which I suppose is not surprising. I thought this years bunch were/are pretty awful but looking back...

Actually I've changed my mind - BB4. I like boring.

BB3: Alex vs Jonny the Geordie Fireman

My favourite "big" "brother" is Alec Baldwin

7 then 5

BB5. Victor was the best housemate ever.

7

5 and 6 were the pinnacle. 6 was better, more twists and turns and wtf-ness. my favourite two contestants ever (makosi and science) plus many happy memories of seeing the vile maxkia pair go down. plus, kinga's antics. how could anything ever come after that.

or even during!

Automated Big Brother wins the universe.

I enjoyed 5 a lot, though I might vote for 1, as the whole format was effortlessly captivating back then.

2 just beats 1, mainly for chap's reason.

BB5 by a mile. No housemate has ever scaled the heights of pantomime villain diary room BB meta and just being plain fucking hilarious as Victor.

Also the pure psychological torture of "no naked jacuzzi" and when they made actual civil war refugee Ahmed do the military task. Actually Ahmed is possibly the most bewilderingly successful housemate ever.

I won a DVD copy of BB1 online. I reckon I was after a bigger prize, but I don't remember what the competition was, even when it arrived.

A serious flaw that BB5 never made it to DVD. I think a factor was that Endemol would not release 'the fight' footage, so no DVDs have been made since.

2. 5 was good entertainment but only in that cynical unpleasant way.

I was going to say that Fight Night was the first clip of UKBB that I ever actually saw but then I remembered the clip from BB3 of Kate sliding down a banister and smacking into the bottom, falling off and howling, "DAVINA I NEED A NEW PUNANI..."

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

5 or 6. the first four were good and had some great characters and tasks and moments and stuff but I don't think it got really great until 5

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

and the winner is....

Yeah.. And a good second place too.

For what it's worth, Nadia as the winner still seems wrong. Maybe it was a case of everyone playing themselves out against each other, Nadia being the last one standing.

5 really was quite fucking incredible, looking back, wasn't it? i'd have voted for that.

but 4! it had jon! it had gos (who, admittedly, did fuck all but basically just radiated I AM A GOOD DUDE vibes). i liked 4 a lot.

surprised nobody went for 3.

6 was a pale imitation of 5 but still had moments of aceness. 7 was where it all went wrong: i'm not even sure i finished watching that. would need to go back and look at the thread on here ...

yep. i stopped watching it (apparently) when "grace, nikki et al went back into the second house. i don't intend to bother with it now until the final (and even then, i'll be at work)".

go me.

Last years one, they had two of the housemates from BB2 and that was one of the years' 'nice' moments, but it seemed to be an acknowledgement that the best years were in the past, somehow.

I think that is incorrect

You're right, they were from BB3 not 2.

This is a just result.

correct

and yes it was one of the 'nice' moments but I don't think it was an acknowledgement of anything except perhaps brian's BB fandom and otherwise last year was really good
