I'm currently re watching BB6 and as I was only 14 at the time it aired I'm obviously watching it with a completely different view than I did then.

I've just watched the episode with Craig's pursual of a drunk Anthony and I have to say it's one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever watched. I found it 100 times more uncomfortable than the Arron/Joel situation. The manhandling, dancing with Makosi and kissing Orlaith while watching him to see if he was jealous, following him into the diary room, crying when he wouldn't hold his hand, the slap and then Anthony apologising to Craig at he end!

What I'm interested to know is how did the viewers react to this at the time? As I was young when I first watched it I found it funny but now 10 years later it's unbelievable. Did BB not think to intervene and have words with Craig about this behaviour. He seems really unstable and I'd love to know what happened after the show.

I don't think this would ever be allowed to go that far in present day BB and rightly so. If I'm honest I think he should have been removed for his own sake or at least a visit from a psychologist.

Most thought that Craig was very troubled but a lot used to joke about it too.

I can't remember the series to much without watching it again.
Watched a few series of BB on youtube and it funny how you see things differently.

I often see this series talked about as one of the best which is why I'm re watching it. It just seems to be a bunch of housemates who can't stand each other and argue 24/7 lol. The first few weeks were entertaining but I'm getting a bit bored now although I'll keep going. Need a break though after watching that episode

It was like car crash tv; awful but I couldn't turn away. Craig is still one of my favourite HMs of all time.

I wonder what he's up to these days. I imagine he must be mortified thinking back to his BB days and doubt very much he'd ever watch it back!

Definitely! I always get really addicted to the first couple of weeks then after that it's like a chore but I'll keep it going. I'm looking forward to seeing Craig in his wig as I see it mentioned on here all the time as one of the best moments but I don't remember it.

Me too.
Love the first few weeks trying to work the housemates out.
I tend to hate the last few weeks of BB as ir predictable and gets boring.

What do you recommend next? I've already re watched 3, 5, 7 & 8 although I gave up during 7 & 8. Also done one week of 10. I'm torn between 1, 2 & 9 for my next re watch.

His pursuit of a drunken Anthony was disturbing. I'm sure BB did intervene. They had to practically kick Craig out of the diary room so they could speak to Anthony alone.

Very I was actually quite shocked by it as I don't remember it being so bad but that's probably due to me being so young I probably just found it hilarious.

Series 9 is worth a second watch.

Yeah it's on YouTube All the series are on there. The uploader is BigBrotherArchive FullEpisodes. You'll find a couple of episodes missing but usually only about 2 or 3 out of each series. Sorry if this post goes against the rules.

The last time I remember seeing Craig, was 9 years ago on those E4 golden ticket ads, with Anthony, raking through bins, looking for a ticket to get back in the house.

I've never saw that haha I take it they stayed friends then. I think he may have made an appearance for a task in BB10 but I could be wrong.
