Yay! I thought I was on my own liking Michele.
I don't mind her, wouldn't be sad to see her leave at this moment in time though. Can't believe how controlling Jessie towards the house!

Michelle was fairly popular, she was definitely the favourite on this forum last season, and on SurvivorSucks.

BBUS is great, although I'm not happy today after finding out that RealPlayer are no longer allowing countries outside the US to view the live feed!!
I don't live in the US and can still watch Flashback from the previous 2 seasons.

Those aren't geo-blocked; just the new season.

It'll be nerve-wracking around 5am on Friday when the live stream starts to see if a VPN will work or not!

I've never been able to watch the interviews and all other stuff on Superpass tho. We'll have to see thursday night. Otherwise I'll try your solution and/or complain to get my money back.

Looking back on BB11 I'd say my favourites were Michele, Laura, Casey, and Kevin. And maybe Jordan, but there was a time where I couldn't stand her for a while. And maybe Russell too, but I changed my mind on him a lot - but now in hindsight, he's probably one of my favourites too!

I liked Laura, Michelle. They were the only ones I never really disliked at any point.

Casey was nice but didnt really do anything.

Russell I grew to like though I went very up and down with him. Overall he was one of the best though.

Mostly liked Jordan & Jeff. Though they annoyed me in the end. But they grew on me again when I saw them in TAR.

Everyone else pretty much I disliked quite a bit (well I didnt mind Braden). Though, Kevin was okay I guess but could be annoying...

Ronnie was probably my least favourite. He was sa horrible little man and was so vile to Michele!

I guess Lydia and Michele made peace, going by picture of them snogging in a nightclub

I loved their argument when Lydia had a drunken meltdown;

Michele: Wear your unitard, bitch!

Completely agree. Originally I gave up on BB11 about 2 weeks in. I just didn't really get into it as my favourites all looked like they were doomed and Laura and Jordan, my two favourites at the time being up against each other just made me lose interest.

However, I decided to go and watch it last week to lead up to BB12 and it actually turned out to be one of my favourite seasons of all time. I watched it all in about a week, which is saying something.

My favourites in BB11 were Michele, Jordan, Laura, Jeff and Kevin. I'm glad one of them managed to pull off a win, and whilst Jordan wasn't exactly the most strategic of them all, she was still likeable and IMO far better than half the terrible winners the show has had in the past.

It actually beat BB10 by a small margin, which I'm going to be re-watching again next. It's my 4th favourite, just under BB6, BB3 and BB7.

I just re-watched the Replacement Nominee Roulette episode of BB10. Such a great episode, as is the one that follows it with the fall-out. Dan was such a great player, and like I said before, I hope we have some great players this season, because as dramatic and entertaining as BB11 was, it lacked great gameplay.

I just started watching BB6 - I love it.

for some reason, I watch all these seasons in random orders, I watched BB4 first when it was on E4 then got back into it during the BB8. I've still not seen BB5 or BB7 yet but since BB7 is an all-stars, I think I'll watch BB5 first.

I'm only on week 3 in BB6 though.

I absolutely loved the Live episode from BB10 - probably my single favourite hour from BBUS. Everything goes absolutely perfectly in the first competition, with Jerry racing into an unlikely lead then Keesha pulling back and winning on a double tie breaker.

Not a bad start for the first episode I ever stayed up to watch.

My order was really strange too:

BB6 (heard it was the best)
BB5
BB2
BB8 (but gave up)
BB7 (couldnt find any other seasons so watched early)
BB9 (as it aired)
BB8 (watched the end)
BB3
BB4
BB10 (as it aired)
BB11 (as it aired)

I gave up on BB8 when Jen was evicted. I just really didnt care anymore by that point, all the players were either vile, boring, or both. I decided to watch the end a while later, but without much interest. There's a week or two towards the end of BB9 I havent seen either. I just didnt care, and have no intention of watching either

Well I did it fairly normal.

BB8 (as it aired, got hooked and then went back and watched each season in order, kind of)
BB2
BB3
BB4
BB5 (I remember becoming bored with this season and I think stopped halfway through, but I'm not sure if I started on BB6 before I finished watching, or if I just left it for a couple of months then came back and finished it off)
BB6
BB7
BB9 (as it aired)
BB10 (as it aired)
BB11 (as it aired)

I did the same with Survivor. I don't like watching things out of order, a lot is to do with been spoiled on later seasons about things that happened previously, and also I like to see how things evolved with each season.

I know BB9 aired across the pond "live on tape" because it was the only Winter run of the series due to a writer's strike but it was pretty much the worst cast ever assembled by a country mile and then some. BB9 is pound for pound the worst season ever created and no one over here even recognizes it's existence.

Spoiler


The Amazing Race Family Edition also falls into this same category. We make believe neither actually happened.

I did the order thing normal-ish too.

As it Aired - BB8 (My first ever USA Big Brother, I was so hooked, I remember loving Dick and Dani so much)
As it Aired - BB9 (Started watching on E4, I didn't feel i could relate to any of the cast, the twist was crap aswell, I stopped watching around week 3, decided i'd rather see what BB10 was like)
As it Aired - BB10 (Glad i waited till season 10 cause I really enjoyed season 10, I liked the majority of the cast, Loved the winner of that season)
As it Aired - BB11 (Stopped watching then Started watching again a month later)
At this point i decided to go back and watch some older seasons (Thanks Quirkydude)
BB2
BB3
BB4
BB5
BB6
BB7 All Stars
and now i'm watching BB12.

For me BB6 was the best, loved the S6, hated the nerd heard
In terms of actual game, BB4 was probably best though. It was the first one I saw and it seemed really fresh to me, they seemed to put more effort into the twists and comps and the HM's were really good too. I liked the x-factor twist and Ji and his alliance were cool.

BB5 was a very good follow up. They had a very good twist to start with and I really liked Nakomis, smart player that she was

As mentioned BB6 was even better. BB7:All stars was interesting but there were some stupid stupid people that ruined the game.

The ones since then have been a bit boring in comparison. Tried to watch BB2 and 3. I though BB3 was okay, I was a big Marcellas fan on HC. Didn't get far into BB2

In reply to the OP, yes it's much better than BBuk, which was great to start with then became Daily Star fodder. BB Australia was the best normal format BB

I'm the opposite, BB4 and BB5 are two of my least favourit seasons (although I really like Alison and Jun), whereas BB2 and BB3 are my favourite seasons, they are the best strategy wise, and I think BB3 has the best cast of any reality show ever.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like BB5. I just found it incredibly dreary dull.

I did enjoy BB4 though.

As for what order I watched them in, I've watched as aired since BB6 with BB2-BB5 (halfway through, at which point I gave up) watched in order in between

Oh, and I completely agree with BB3. Best reality show cast ever.

I just finished BB5, and I agree. The only people I was rooting for were Diane, Nakomis and Will. The rest were expendable to me.

I did love the BB3 cast, but I think the BB5 (UK) cast were better.
