June 17, 20205 yr Yeah I really can't for the life of me understand why they showed this episode :( Just off the top of my head: Charley's fake eviction, fight night, Makosi's pregnancy scare, Kitten refusing to be evicted, Kinga wine gate.... The list goes on.
June 17, 20205 yr Not the strongest episode and much stronger could have been aired. I think they would have had a better result doing a best of montage from each series. Fans would have got to see more content.
June 17, 20205 yr Been catching up on these - tonight's was the weakest by far! I think my favourite was the BB1 episode as the drama felt so tense, organic and civilised - people letting each other speak and not shouting?! Practically unheard of these days :lol: also it feels so weird to see housemates smoking inside in pre-2007 episodes! The first series I watched at the time was BB8 and even then I was only 9 and watched it behind my parents' back :lol:
June 17, 20205 yr Author Ya inside smoking is so weird to see as in later series they rarely showed them smoking at all even outside espec in celeb BB. In the chantelle episode they were constantly smoking all over the house.
June 17, 20205 yr I don’t think I’ll even both with tonight’s episode but I am interested in seeing the others shown. I’m still watching BB7! What’s funny regarding Grace being nominated is (apologies if they showed this on the ep) but literally every housemate battled for immunity shortly after Susies arrival by standing still on a box. Grace was desperate to win it and lasted something like 10 hours before losing out by literally drawing the short straw to Lisa who was immune from the week 4 eviction but would end up being the next person evicted anyways after Grace. It’s funny as I think Susie likely would’ve actually picked Lisa and then perhaps Nikki as her second pick so Grace could’ve scraped through that eviction. Unless she really planned on always going for Grace by those chants she got. Had Grace won that immunity though she could’ve gotten further in that series than what Lisa did as Grace was fairly popular with her other housemates. She was quite good at always appearing to be friendly to people’s faces though! Susie literally invented who is she, water gate, champagne gate. So many moments in BB7 stemmed from Susie despite her being one of the more reserved housemates in that series.
June 18, 20205 yr Anyways after tonight’s show I seen this on Twitter. It’s Rex and Luke from BB9 (they were initially discussing that it was the same house featured on the CBB episode shown tonight but anyways) the shade over a decade on. @1273362049654034433
June 18, 20205 yr Rex was gross, one of the most overrated housemates ever and a chauvinistic and mysoginistic pig. Luke isn't much better - Bex, Sara & Lisa are the holy trinity from that series
June 18, 20205 yr Rex was gross, one of the most overrated housemates ever and a chauvinistic and mysoginistic pig. Luke isn't much better - Bex, Sara & Lisa are the holy trinity from that series Rex was weirdly a crush of mine :lol: honestly the type I go for is usually someone like him in the cocky kind of attitude. I'm fond of gingers too :lol: I quite liked him at the time, but maybes now if I rewatched that series I could end up disliking him personality wise. The most memorable night of that series for me and one what is actually a classic although awful episode was when Rex smudged a painting. It was basically the closest we ever got again to BB5s fight night and we ended up having an ejection which was fully deserved! Luke from that series though was irritating beyond belief.
June 18, 20205 yr Ugh I hate Luke whenever he's on Bit On The Side now and he is a full on Tory, gross. We should have a housemate rate but idk how it would work.

Fans would have got to see more content. Agreed with this don't know why they didn't do that, best of each series. They could have done the normal one then the celeb one. Even if it was like top 5 moments from each.

June 18, 20205 yr Looking at BB7, I don't think it's fair to shrug Grace and in particular Nikki's behaviour off due to their age as they were both 19/20 when the show aired. Nikki in particular was incredibly transphobic and ageist, and her treatment of Sam is something that even back then stuck in my head as being incredibly cruel and wrong. I always find it so baffling that she was so respected in the BB circle.

I always find it so baffling that she was so respected in the BB circle. Oh I'm.not shrugging off, merely offering an explanation! I've watched the series back a few years ago and was absolutely appalled by Nikki's transphobic comments. It sickens me really that I thought it was okay when it originally aired, I can't remember being too shocked or upset by it :(.

Nikki in particular was incredibly transphobic and ageist, and her treatment of Sam is something that even back then stuck in my head as being incredibly cruel and wrong. I always find it so baffling that she was so respected in the BB circle. Nikki was like 24/25 wasn’t she. Although she was immature due to being hospitalised and in treatment centres throughout a lot of her childhood and teen years so she hadn’t really grown up at that point in her life. She wasn’t amongst the youngest housemates in that series but she was the most immature because of what she’d experienced prior to the house. With Nikki I don’t think she was ever malicious or nasty with intent. She did have a good side to her and was very genuine and loyal to those who she liked. It may have only been 14 years ago but it was a very different world. Nikki (and others) did make comments what now would be seen as transphobic it was more ignorance of them though (well in Nikkis case I’d say it was that) I think not that I’m justifying it though. Even some of the stuff people said about Aisleyne would be seen as racist in 2020.
June 18, 20205 yr Yeh it wasn't pleasant viewing of Nikki and Grace in series 7, I mean the woman had to vote for someone, get over it like!
June 18, 20205 yr Nikki and Grace on a rewatch are pretty intolerable in BB7. The transphobia was too much for me to take. Oop- Right on this show, it is a great trip down memory lane and I am glad there is some exposure and hype around Big Brother again but it really should have been a highlights reel for the 10 series we have had (maybe a countdown of Davina's 10 best series inc. celeb ones and a highlight reel for each). The issue with showing the full episode is there are so many moments that don't make sense without the context of episodes before them or the series they are in. ALSO this is really NOT the "best episodes ever". It is "the most iconic Big Brother moments ever - and the episodes they were featured in" which is not the same thing. "Yeah Jackie" is without a doubt one of the most iconic Big Brother moments ever... that does not make the subsequent episode one of the best episodes ever. It's a flawed concept. But i'm not being totally negative, because any exposure for the show is good exposure~
June 18, 20205 yr "you could get a harpist, don't worry you could gag her, she won't talk" sent me! I feel like Jackie would have done really well in this day and age tbh.
June 18, 20205 yr Haus I totally get what you mean there. Unless you’re like a super fan of the show or just have a very good imagination I can imagine some people watching these episodes and being like who is that, or why are they doing that or why are they arguing etc. I could easily watch the episodes they show and know what’s happened to an extent as I’m a proper super fan of the show. I like how it is giving the show exposure even though I controversially would rather see it remain off air for the time being in terms of a new series just because I think it needs time for us to like really miss it. It would be bigger upon return too if the break is longer. I agree on the moments / episode thing too. Like who is she is very well remembered as a quote but the eviction was much better, even the Shahbaz episodes were tbh as whole episodes. Perhaps on here over time we could do our own Buzzjacks BBUK rate. We’d probably have to do one for the. 4 era and one for the c5 era :lol:
