Blasts From BB Past

So this is Gretel on a very quick tour of the first ever BBAU house.

Pretty sure Gretel is tweeking, too...

BBAU 2007.

Some of the HMs did promo work for Macleans after being evicted.

Note - AFTER being evicted - not before the launch.

I remember the Circle and Square houses like it was yesterday. It's a swift kick to nostalgia!
 
I hated '08, it was a train-wreck from beginning to end. There was just so much wrong with the series - everything that you said, plus over-use of gimmicks & "celebrity" houseguests, and that stupid "twist" where they were each given a suitcase with $$$ and had to hand it over to a fellow hm when they were evicted...and in any case the winner ended up with all of the $$$ by default. What a stupid, pointless non-twist. And yes I remember the "magician" - he was a hypnotist. Having been hypnotised on stage myself (yes it works if you don't fight it and have an open mind) I won't go as far as saying it was 100% bullshit...but for the same reason, it was easy to tell who was faking by the smiling, over-acting, opening eyes when instructed not to etc

Oh my god that STUPID $$$ suitcase twist was so DUMB. What was BB smoking that year?!

It wasn't even really a twist because it had no impact on the outcome of the game. Drunkenly playing darts this evening makes me think that series was like playing darts blindfolded. The producers were randomly throwing 'darts' at the board, feebly hoping some would stick...but most of them ended up in a heap on the ground.
 
Just remembered this from 2008, where they gave Terri an Emo makeover lol

A special late night episode in 2006 called 'Unforgettable' which went through some memorable moments from 2001-2005.
 
I never got the hate for BB07...or at least the first half of it when Emma was still in. I remember hating her when the show was airing, but I stumbled on some episodes on youtube recently and honestly, she's got to be one of the best housemates ever. Her never ending bitching and whining was just fucking hilarious, especially when she would preface something nasty with: "I'm not trying to be nasty but...". And honestly, she could teach a MASTERCLASS in bitching, she was actually really sharp and witty and pithy. The show would've been so much more interesting if she got to stay longer (like the anarchy task where BB goes missing and they have to make their own rules? Made for a HM like Emma)

Though I didn't really even mind the second half of BB07 with her gone. I liked Zach, I liked Aleisha and I even thought her relationship with Billy was cute (though that was probably just me being grateful Jamie/Katie 06 weren't on my screen anymore).
