Ultimate Big Brother - My Final Ever Big Brother Blog
It's been a week since Big Brother ended. I was going to do this blog straight after the final, but I was too tired, so I've left it till now.
Big Brother was a big part of my life. I watched 10 out of 11 Series and every episode of those 10 series. Some would call me sad, but I call it dedication. I enjoyed the show. It was hilarious, it taught me life lessons, it was something to talk to other people about, it was something to have an opinion on, it was amazing.
I always wanted to take part in the show. I thought it would be an amazing experience and yes I admit, I could be famous afterwards and that excited me. At least once in your life, you wish you were famous. Obviously you had to be 18 to apply. Sadly it ended before I reached that age. One more year and I could have since auditions take place around the time of my birthday. I talked about applying to my friends and family and most of which said they would support if me if I ever got the chance to do it, which would of been amazing, knowing that I have people supporting me on the outside.
I guess you could call me a Big Brother freak since I remember the majority of housemates and which series they were from. It comes in handy when BB comes up in conversation and I appear intelligent (or just pathetic to some). They can have their opinion. If I went on to that show I would want someone to remember me.
I'm going to start talking about my favourite things now:
Favourite Series: 1st place is Series 7.
There is so much to talk about from this series. First of all how could we not talk about Nikki Grahame. She made that series. Her tantrums were genuinely hilarious and when ever she went into the the Diary Room, it was guaranteed to make us laugh at some point. Her love interest with series winner Pete Bennett was too cute. They were kind of perfect for each other, until they broke up but nevermind. Good things don't last for ever as you can tell with BB. But let's not forget the other housemates of series 7. There was Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace. She wasn't an original housemate and I tend not to like them, but this girl, I loved. In week 6 she was voted to move into the secret house next door while the other housemates thought she had been evicted. In the secret house she was joined by 5 new housemates. If I remember correctly she had to choose who went into the house one by one and was eventually left with two. She evicted Jonathan who holds the record for the first housemate who never actually entered the house! Watching Aisleyne make this hard decision and the aftermath was awful. It was so heart-breaking for her. At least she knew her self though. Welsh lad Glyn Wise who came second was great too. However he is only remembered for entering the house dressed as a lifeguard and -sings the song- boiling an egg for the very first time ahmm ahmm.
Actually you know what? Just watch this video. Pretty much sums it up.
See what I mean?
2nd place is series 5!
3rd place is series 8!
That was actually hard choosing the last one. Feel free to watch more Best Bits here.
I think my favourite housemate is Brian Belo. I was gutted he didn't take part in Ultimate Big Brother. He would have done well. I think it's because I can relate to him because he's such a massive fan of BB, even after he went into the house. (Although I haven't taped every single episode like he has, as shown on Come Dine With Me!) He's so funny and silly and the kind of guy that I would want as a friend and the kind of person who I would want to be in there with, as long as they didn't win! That would be my job.
I think my favourite task would be from Series 6. The Box task. It was so simple yet so brilliant. All the housemates had to do was sit in a box with their picture on for the longest time. It was hilarious!! Also notable is the Electric shock task from Series 9!
My favourite presenter of course has to be Davina. I think the fact she loved the show so much made her the best person for the job. I loved how involved she was and even when their was controversy she didn't distance her self from it. She bared with it even during pregnancy and she is a true legend.
Big Brother has had it's highs and it's lows, but there's no doubting it's been on hell of a ride and I've enjoyed every minute of it. RIP Big Brother. Maybe you'll be resurrected by Channel Five if they have any sense.

Mr T, I loved, then hated then Loved BB. Watched the first 4 or 5 series and then didn't watch again until Ultimate which I adored!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought it was so interesting to even say we lived througn it, it was trend setting and proved one thing, we are all so nosey, we will watch people doing nothing in a house together.
I would never have said i'll miss it but after Ulimtate I think I will a bit. I applied for BB (as you know!) and will always remember how exciting the first series was and the 'zeitgeist' it became...........x
