After working out all the results, I shall now reveal them here.

There were a total of 23 different results. Four of them were not fully complete, but they will still be counted and included in the stats. The scores for each series are not as high this year, unfortunately due to not as many people participating this year.

I have included the ranking history, which shows the series position for the past three years. The figures in brackets indicate how many times a series was given a particular number of points.

So here we go, in reverse order:

Good to see Series 15 where it belongs - surprised 17 didn't rate higher actually, but I guess middle of the pack isn't too shabby

BB7 is overrated on here - the latter half is a complete drag.

The first four weeks were fantastic, but as iconic as the 'get Grace out' chant is, it's the moment the show went into decline; not helped by the fact that Susie came in and held all the power; knowing what was going on in and out of the house. That was stupid of the producers, but I suspect the housemates would've turned on Grace regardless after the chants.

We lost big character after big character and then they went and filled the house with the likes of Michael and Jennie who couldn't even muster up 1% of the vote to win.

The house next door twist was awfully executed, the new housemates didn't add much, Nikki's return, the obvious winner...

Glad BB5 came out on top. Every single housemate delivered. It was exactly the right pace. Not too long that it ends up dying on its arse, and just short enough to leave you wanting more!

BB7 was is and always will be the greatest ever series for me


BB5 is massively overrated for me and simply cannot complete with 7 for me

Hard to disagree with the overall results, especially top and bottom. BB15 was certainly my least favourite experience - too many unlikeable housemates, absolutely full of insanely complicated poorly-executed unfair twists, not to mention the winner.
I just have to think of BB15 and I cringe.

I would put BB16 a little higher. I thought it had a lot of potential, but putting the ex-housemates in for so long dragged it down so badly. Shame.

At least with BB17 things are hopefully turning in a more positive direction for next year.

Thanks for doing this again ABCZYX.

As last year, I'm broadly in agreement with these. BB15 was the only series that I decided to give up on. BB is a show that I'll continue watching for a while even if I'm not enjoying it in the hope that it will feel worth it in the end, but BB15 just didn't feel like a proper Big Brother. Stuff like the pass to the final etc has been much rehearsed, but the final straw for me was Ashleigh voluntarily explaining her tactics in the DR during Girl Power week, only to have the explanation broadcast into the house for yet another cheap row. Production just had no feel for the show that year.

As usual I feel that BB9 should not be lower than BB6, which was such a negative series. I usually struggle to enjoy a series unless there are some (one?) genuinely nice, likeable people to root for most of the way through. I struggled with that for BB6.

It's interesting that BB9 has such spread ratings - more so than just about any other series. I wonder why that is.
BB7 had a good recovery from its start in the poll. The first vote named it as the worst series ever.


I always feel that a good series is one in which production has carefully selected HMs and then afforded them a minimum level of respect to generate interest. Tasks and twists should be just the icing on the cake.

BB16 didn't treat the HMs (or the audience) with any respect. It started by evicting someone on day 1 for opening a box. Two weeks later they chucked out four housemates (five people) in an eviction with six options. Then there was all the focus on returning housemates (four extended stays plus umpteen incidentals) and near the end one HM was chucked out by the HMs just after the public had chosen not to evict her but someone else.

It was just a mess. For the BB16 producers Big Brother is just one damn thing after another. I refuse to believe than anyone could remember every person who appeared in front of the cameras in that series without studying in advance.

Even good bakers can screw up iced cakes when something goes slightly wrong with the icing or the cake. But if someone sets out from the start to make a cake which is three quarters icing it's entirely their fault that no one really enjoys it.
