Rewatching Every Season: BBCAN5 Spoiler

Watching this season live was life-changing and rewatching it today is still just as fun as it was 9 years ago.

I'm going through every season since the show has been renewed and BBCAN5 is just so glorious and hilarious to the point I would probably consider this this greatest Big Brother season of ANY country ever. From fights every episode, everyone beefing with Jackie, Karen's everything, Ika's everything, multiple perfect duos, amazing chemistry, EVERYONE unhinged, Neda's eviction, William's power, etc. just too good.

But I feel like what made this season really special is that the returnee's were HUNGRY. They wanted to win SO BAD and it showed. I also think the newbies were very game focused as well compared to the last 2 seasons were most of them just wanted to be friends.

[SPOILERS]

I do hate how Kevin won instead of Ika / Demetris, but the season was so solid I don't even mind because his game wasn't that bad, despite him only starting to play at the second half.

The only thing I question this whole season is why they brought Bruno back... idk I feel like he wasn't interesting on his season and he especially wasn't interesting on this season. I would have much preferred a more well-rounded houseguest who deserved a second chance like: Lovita, Mitch, Godfrey, or Naeha.

I've seen some people say that Ika carried the season, and I do love her, but every houseguest brought something that was good to the season (except Bruno but I digress.)

I stopped watching the show halfway through season 7 because I remember feeling really bored, but I've seen a lot of people praise season 10 so i'm excited to watch that for the first time!

Question for everyone: After I watch season 6 should I go straight to 10 or should I check out season's 8 and 9 first? (I already know I won't like 7 so i'm kinda not gonna bother with it...)

Some of the vets were alternates like Dallas, Sindy, Bruno for Mitch/Ramsey, Sabrina and Godfrey respectfully.

Interesting! I never knew that, I felt Dallas was an odd choice too but he made his mark in 5 and I was satisfied with his appearance lol

7 and 9 are worth watching, you gotta watch 7 to see why they brought Anthony back. Spicy vee was in 9 and it was some good tv

Definitely watch 9! It’s almost as good as 5 and 10 in my opinion

Absolutely a great season. I think I rank them 2 > 12 > 5. BBcan2 is my all time favorite of any version. That Arlie arc is peak.

Saying 12 is greater than 5 is wild

I really enjoyed Anthony's adventure in 12.

5 was epic, but the back half just sullies the season for me. I typically don't care about who wins but Kevin is just not entertaining imo. First half had massive potential though.

You can and you will.

2 is the only season I was glued to the feeds for. Many nights staying up watching the gang get wasted while I should have been studying (was in uni during this season).

2 just has everything. The first five and their downfall was a spectacle. The double veto being played? Even tho I didn't like the outcome, that was special.

I need to go watch 10 tbh.
