If I was to watch any season of BB, from any country... which one?

Time travelling back to 2006 and the "Big Brotherhood" was one of the lamest launch twists the show has ever done - on paper it wasn't too bad an idea but it just didn't really work.
Time treavelling back to 2014 and the "Big Brotherhood" doesn't seem to bad. Compared to the years before it it might have been lame but compared to what followed it I'd say only 2010 offered a better launch twist with the live final selection of the HMs and a further twist involving the final HM.

Initial thoughts. I don't know what to think! I love that they can boo housemates. I can't understand a word Bonnie is saying. I don't understand why the host flicked her bean.... But I fucking love it haha.
I like it so far. It's so different.

2006 was a piss poor effort... I'll give you credit though... In hindsight the "Big Brotherhood" twist was much better in comparison to any of the series following... However BB7 in reality was nothing more than a continuation of the two series prior... The only reason the series stands out for me falls on a handful of HM's... And even then it was not always for the better... IMO the show had reached it's creative peak and looking back the show really started to show it's age...
As for 2010... Again I'll give you some credit... The 2010 launch was refreshing watching HM's selected live... However the rest of the twist was complete and utter crap... I think it's pretty obvious that not everyone left on the podium stood the same chance of being "randomly selected"... And clearly the producers hand picked someone they thought could pull off the task... The only remaining postive from that series was the fact that it ended two weeks early to make way for Ultimate Big Brother... It rates only mildly better than some of the other crappy series I've seen...

Huh? How come so few people recommended BBUK 5 (2004) ?!
THE series that made worldwide news as it erupted in a chaos and carnage known as Fight Night.
Still remember watching the live streams when it all went down. First they cut away the cameras, but could still hear the audio for awhile.

I'd take Kitten's week 1 rebellion and "No Naked Jacuzziness"over the first few weeks of constant fighting... Don't get me wrong BB6 was classic but I prefer BB5 over it...

My issue with BB6 is that it took almost a month for a legit plot to develop. "Watch crazy people argue about nothing" is great but only for so long. I prefer 5 and 7 because the plots are much more tangible and strong.
Also, since 2 was mentioned I think it's kinda garbage. It's one of those early-2000s "legendary" series that You Had To Be There for.

I am addicted to BB UK 2006 now, I have completely stopped watching the current Australian big brother. I love how they show the housemates in their daily sequence of events, each day in the house. It's how big brother Australia used to be. Not overly edited and psycho.
I tried watching big brother US but thought it was way too edited and seemed kind of fake. I like BBUk because they have nasty and volatile housemates (like BB US), AND they are not overly edited.

I don't know if it'd be available any more but season two of UK BB was awesome. So funny and had the most deserving winner. In saying that, it was such a long time ago that there's every likelihood I wouldn't think that now.
I'd still like to watch it again.
Edit: I stand corrected - here it is! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoi03RgROpy8rrDPN6chaY2BO4ZViLyMp
I'll be watching it for sure.

That's probably fair with the early series of all versions actually. However definately recommend watching a few select episodes just to get a feel of things.

7 got moving a lot faster than 6 did but still it wasn't until the replacements came in that the story really started to develop... That fist week or so was fairly painful... Also the cast was all over the place... I mean in the span of 16 days they lost 6 HM's... Shahbaz "walked" on day 8, Dawn was ejected two days later, Bonner was evicted on day 9, George walked on day 13, and then 3 days after Sezer was evicted...
