Big Brother Best Ever Episodes

[Stabbitha]

AIBU to be a little disappointed that of the 8 episodes so far, 5 have been from Celebrity Big Brothers?

I was looking forward to a bit of nostalgia but it's all the celebrity crap I didn't watch.

'It's a load of bollocks, YABU to watch any of it.'.. thought I'd get that reply in before some other smart arse 😉

YANBU I feel exactly the same. I didn’t watch CBB, but I used to love BB in the early years. Gutted that less than half of the best of episodes have been normal BB

It was brilliant to watch the nasty nick episode and remember how basic the house was then, the simplicity of the tasks and of course none of them knew quite what they were getting into!

But I don’t give a shit about the celeb version

My favourite ever bit from big brother was when Helen got evicted and Paul was waiting for her with Gucci shoes and handbag.

The early ones were definitely the best.

They have been so disappointing. They had so many to choose from.

I was dissappointed by this too OP. Couldn't give a toss about the Celeb BB.

I'm very excited to watch the Helen & Paul focussed episode. I was far too invested in their romance as a teenager.

I am also very disappointed and they haven't run them in order either which meant I thought they had skipped the Jade Goody series completely. I think it might have been better if they had done a compilation of best bits instead like they did when it finished on channel 4. I feel like they are dragging it out doing it like this because they are struggling to fill tv schedules. And I say this as a huge Big Brother fan.

Yeah I agree. I liked BB in the early days and then got bored of it, so I’ve quite enjoying remembering the old characters. But the celebrity ones are awful. Watched a bit of the Chantelle one, they’re all awful!

I agree about being disappointed with most shows so far are CBB, but I do like the fact you get to see whole episodes. I've seen so many highlight clips/best bits that I'm enjoying seeing all the other bits too.
I was amazed at how calm the whole confronting of nasty Nick was - definitely in later years that would've been a blood bath!

I said this to my DP! I was hoping to see some of the older series but it just seems to be the same CBB ones over and over - disappointing.

I haven’t watched BB since I was a teenager, but I still remember the early episodes where Anna had a saucepan lid on her head and was playing it as a cymbal; and Craig and Claire (?) hiding everyone’s cigarettes. Same series?

I do like that it’s full episodes, because it’s nice to really be reminded what it was like back in the day. We’ve seen the Nasty nick confrontation a million times in the last 20 years. It’s nice to see them do a stupid simple obstacle course challenge as well! BB was all about the little silly mundane things, not just the big drama

Oh! I remember Craig hiding the cigarettes! And then one night when the smokers were really stressed he said directly to the camera 'You just watch me put a smile on their faces.' because they'd not had anything to smoke for ages. I think he hid them on top of the shower, in case of an emergency?

Does anyone know how many they are doing in total?

OMG completely agree with you OP! I loved Big Brother and watched every single series (even though it got so rubbish when moved to channel 5). Never watched Celeb BB so all those episodes are really boring to me. So disappointed!

Agree with you OP. I used to love it in the early years - my favourite was series two: they were a genuinely entertaining bunch, with lots of great interaction. The celeb ones never really did it for me. Plus ofc they aren't even showing the celeb bits that everyone really remembers eg Bullymore, Vanessa's breakdown, Kim losing it etc, probably because it would be obvious how shitty a set up it became, you know really questionable attitude to people's welfare. So it's the poor relation but also an unrepresentative picture of it anyway.

I want to see Fight Night and that stalky bloke in the Myra Hindley type wig chasing the terrified drooling Geordie around the place.

Although yes it was quite an eye opener to note the different tone of series one and think of how what nick did was A Very Big Deal.

10 in total I think
