Such things can't be explained just by what the housemates are like, because people disagree about the housemates. Why did the voters tend to find those housemates irritating? For some reason, the voters seemed to be especially prone to dislike female housemates and to want to vote them out. That's all the "agenda" is supposed to be about. It's not a claim that voters think "she's female, I want her out."
Three was the most interesting and entertaining for me and the only one to go into the final night not knowing who would win and what the final order would likely be.
Next best was probably five, but it peaked too soon and, just like four, the fix was in and the finale predictable.
Four was my least favourite, the fix was well and truly in, and it was a group were I disliked a lot of people, and, unlike five, I think we were meant to like them. Collectively they were just dull, dull, dull with some pretty nasty traits for a group of supposed 'everyday' people.

five was the best because of michelle then 2 loved bubble helen and brian and dean then 3
It's got to be close between BB3 and BB5, but I think BB3 just gets top spot - when (if?) BB is history it deserves to be remembered the longest. If it were repeated now I'd watch every minute.
BB2 was the best for me, because of the mix of characters. It wasn't non-stop arguments and bitching, and it wasn't continuous cosy chats either, it was a great mix of fun, laughter, warmth, tension and tears that kept you watching till the wee small hours.
BB1 was great too, although I didn't get into it until the Nasty Nick thing started to build. I was soon gripped, and the final was the first time I'd ever voted for any TV show.
BB4 would be my next favourite. Although it wasn't the most exciting, it didn't have me reaching for the remote either! I found a lot of the housemates entertaining and fun, and didn't lose interest 2 weeks in as I have with some other series.
CBB3 is my no4 - great to watch, and the best bunch of off the wall characters ever!
BB5 - watchable in small doses. Thoroughly enjoyed it, but really didn't need to be glued the whole time. Some great characters, but some I really couldn't have cared less about either.
Then the first 2 CBBs - they were ok.
BB3 would be my least favourite. Only really liked a couple of people, and watched mainly because I was a BB fan and was afraid to miss anything. Looking back, there wasn't much to miss and I wish I hadn't wasted so much time on it!

Would have been BB5, but fight night ruined it. It was to much, unfair and for me, BB crossed the line in manipulation of the hm's.
Nadia winning and her reaction though was probably my favourite 'winners reaction' of all 5 series.
Probably my Favorite BB of all time over the whole 10 weeks or whatever, was BB3.

BB3 is my favourite-the most open BB in terms of the final result although you could say it was manipulated at the end in an attempt to make Jade the winner. That would have been awful! 
BB1 & BB3 were ok but 4 was slightly slow and five started ok and ended slow and 2 was ok aswell i guess.
'Normal' BB's would be:
BB2 - liked the mix of people. Had everything - arguments, tears, laughter, romance, music, bitching but none of it went too far.
BB1 - the original - although 'Nickgate ' has been done to death and was very much overrated to start with.
BB5 - Jason's preening, Vanessa's 'lady of the veldt' routine, Pie Jesu, the hat burning. Some good moments.
BB4 - for Jon alone.
BB3 - didn't find a single person I liked. Thought they were all - to a man/woman - nasty, conniving, thoroughly dislikable nerds.
Celeb BB's
CBB2 - Les Dennis and the chickens, Mark Owen - what's not to love.
CBB1 - Vanessa's meltdown and Jack's numerous escapes.
CBB3 - it was that thrilling I can't even remember who won!

Big Brother 5 was the most entertaining, exciting full of twists and drama. I dont know if there'll be a better BB in the future, than series 5. it had diverse personalities. Lets hope BB6 lives to the expections, Iam hoping for a another brilliant series.
From best to worst:
1. BB2. I still have fond memories of that show. Everything fitted together perfectly. The housemates sometimes disagreed but for the most part all got on, but still managed to entertain. The house was great, the mix of housemates even greater, and the production was absolutely superb. Best BB, by far
2. BB3. I agree with another poster on here that I didn't think BB3 would work - but it ended up being great. There was a lot to keep you entertained and the divide was a classic BB twist. It has a lot of memorable moments that stick in your head as well. Only reason its not top is because the housemates had become too media savvy and WERE playing up to the cameras. Oh, and Jade.
3. BB5. Probably had the biggest number of "goings on" in a BB. There was always something to talk about. The characters were the best mix since BB2 and were engineered to create big conflict, which definitely happened. My main criticism is that the production was terrible (it has been going downhill since BB2) - 29 minutes of the Friday show were re-caps, the housemates heard about the bedsit, and the eviction shows were major anti-climaxes. These were the sorts of things that just wouldn't have happened in BB2. The show ran out of steam after fight night as well, with producers effectively delaying any major advancement in the show for two weeks after the brawl. Picked up towards the end, though.
4. BB1. Very clever show, no gimmicks, worked very well. Of course, Nasty Nick made it, but the media innocence of the housemates was refreshingly good. Production was superb. The whole show felt "fresh." Probably scores low because, no matter what you thought of it, big house events only cropped up about once a week... we were all glued to it because we couldn't see how entertaining Big Brother could be. If this show was run as BB6, everyone would call it boring.
5. Celeb BB3. I don't like the celebrity versions as much as the main show, but this one worked quite well for a celebrity series. There was no real "special treatment" of the housemates, and a couple of pretty good twists. The celebrities themselves were good sports and all had different personalities, as well. Once again, production was bad, but bearable.
6. Celeb BB1. It was OK. Jack Dee made it, of course, and some of the characters, like mad Vanessa Feltz, were quite entertaining. Good production, too. Not much happened though - it was quite a dull celebrity series, really. And we voted off Chris Eubank first, which was probably a shame.
7. Celeb BB2. A really dull celeb BB. Not many redeeming features at all. The only one half-bearable was Goldie, and he got chucked out first. Mark Owen is the second worst winner of a BB ever. None of the housemates let their guards down and were given very little to do by Big Brother, which left them sitting around murmering to each other and making quilts. Still, not the worst BB.....
8. BB4. Now, I'm one of these people who thinks BB4 could have worked if it hadn't have been for some unlucky nominations and poor public decisions. However, even if housemates like Anouska and Fed had been kept instead of say, Steph and Scott, it still wouldn't have compared to previous BBs. Cameron is the worst winner of Big Brother ever, and it was obvious halfway through that the producers got more and more desperate when they realised it was a flop, and tried to throw twist after twist in to spice the house up, only for all of them to fall flat on their faces. Dull housemates who wouldn't let their guards down - there were some real b*tches in there, but they never let the public see that side of them. Gos is probably the biggest waste of space in a Big Brother house ever. And the producers got more and more manipulative in this show - it was obvious they edited Cameron to be the winner, and since then they've been keen to carry on this audience manipulation. Shame.

Sorry to be picky about this point (I agree with much of what you say in your post), but this doesn't seem to me to make sense. How could you know if they didn't let you see it?
