Big Brother: Best Shows Ever

[Rita]

Oh I’m afraid I don’t watch that TOSH

GET FUCKING OUT OF HERE!!!

 

[dUb]

Zoe Birkett did BB? I don't think so.

She did! She was a late addition to a C5 civilian series, and was awful

 

[Rita]

She was a very odd addition as I think she still has some form of career in the theatre scene.

 

[Alla]

Oh right! I haven't watched some of the early C5 ones. We also had in BB8 the "it's not you, it's me" one.

 

[COB]

Oh I own the theme song too, I forgot about that! But it's such a banger, didn't go top 5 or so? God I have so much shit

I wish they still released TV theme tunes as singles, I remember having a CD of the X-Files theme as a kid

Some of them are fantastic. Any chart expert around to tell us the last ones to chart? I can't remember any "recent" one.

Pissed that they won’t be showing Graces eviction episode with all the crowd CHANTING

Zoe Birkett did BB? I don't think so. And not even close, try again.

She did in about 2014.

 

[Tisch]

If I remember rightly, she actually pretty popular at first, then there was one conversation where she talked about "people like us" Vs "normal people" or some such and the country was livid with her.

The country may be stretching it a bit by this stage in the run, Tisch.

 

[Tisch]

FAIR!

Bob The Builder.

I bought that to keep Westlife off the no. 1 spot.

Worked.

 

[Alla]

Oh there was another "singer" that went to do BB, that one that did the rap in the Kylie Minogue hit, I don't know if anyone remembers her, whatever she was called. Loved at first and truly hated within days, can't remember why.

NICE WORK.

Nice of them to continue glorifying noted transphobe Niki.

Pauline?

 

[Alla]

That's the one! She appears for 2 seconds in the Shocked video. (Davina McCall appears in another Kylie video, coincidence?)

 

[ButterTart]

Pauline?

Jazzy P!

Now she was a BRILLIANT housemate. Wandering around telling everyone ‘I don’t like recidivists’ like it meant something.

I didn’t watch much of this series so remember very little about her, but think Kylie was mentioned when she was entering the house.

 

[cwej]

I just watched a clip of OUR CAGSY and Craig fighting in BB1 and had totally forgotten that DAVINA ran the voiceovers back then. No Marcus Bentley!

IT'S CAGGIE!!

 

[Rita]

IT'S CAGGIE!!

I am sure she is OVER THE MOON she is getting mentioned AT ALL.

 

[Soldi]

Jazzy P!

What happened to her though? She was a HUGE favourite in Week 1 and WON THE POWER yet was out by Week 2 and was HATED

 

[Alla]

I didn’t watch much of this series so remember very little about her, but think Kylie was mentioned when she was entering the house.

There was a twist during launch night, where the audience were voting for one of them to be in control or have some sort of power (can't remember). She was the last one to enter the house, just before the lines were open, and they played the Kylie video during her VT. Obviously the producers were pushing for her because she was such a big character. The audience fell for it and she won, and she caused some trouble as expected

 

[ButterTart]

What happened to her though? She was a HUGE favourite in Week 1 and WON THE POWER yet was out by Week 2 and was HATED

She buddied up with Helen, became a control freak and got booted.
She suffered a classic case of ‘woman who gets cheered when she enters’ syndrome, the one the fans get behind who turns into a demon bellend half an hour later (see also Wolfy, Sukhvinder, poor dead Sofia, Shabnam and Tracey).

 

[ButterTart]

Actually, add Wolfy’s pose when she expected to be cheered by the audience during one eviction night, and the look on her face when they booed the living piss out of her to the list of C5 best moments.

Wasn't she actually popular for like 15 minutes before all went downhill? Did she ever shower?

 

[ButterTart]

Wasn't she actually popular for like 15 minutes before all went downhill? Did she ever shower?

Yeah, she became a fan favourite, and then went around telling everyone she was popular and was going to win. Immediately, the public went ‘fuck that noise’ and cast her out.

Don't forget KATHREYA

 

[Soldi]

Don't forget KATHREYA

Kathreya - “Big Brother don’t take any more of my friends”

Big Brother - “”

 

[Alla]

OMG I didn't remember the VERY LOUD Get Wolfy out Her face screaming I want to die

 

[dUb]

I wonder if the conversation around mental health in reality TV since the show went away would make a baying mob PROBLEMATIC/untenable upon its eventual return

 

[Alla]

Ok, I wanted to know why Wolfy suddenly decided she was gonna win, and found the reason:

48'50"



Silly girl, if only she kept her mouth shut and kept crying and farting!

 

[cwej]

I am sure she is OVER THE MOON she is getting mentioned AT ALL.

She's more likely DEAD.

I do hope so. It was the only thing I didn't like about Big Brother (which remains in my top 5 shows of all time). In the first season, even the disliked people got a nice response from the crowd but around Season 5 it became just a weekly occurrence to hear booing and it was so unnecessary.

As much as anything, apart from the mental health aspect, I felt it ruined the entire SPIRIT of the show. The housemates weren't supposed to know anything about what the public thought of them except for the results of eviction votes.

 

[straightorbroken]

The early series really did have some absolutely amazing contestants. I mean COME ON:

Oh I just loved her. Just imagine her in the staff room.
