My internet went yesterday evening while catching up, missed the final, but we all knew Cameron had it, more gutted about missing the thread.

Surely someone will pick it up! Or we will just shoot our own boards version, live stream to Youtube :P

Certainly some of the regulars stayed up late to say farewell. It looked like the type of thing where someone suggests "Hey we should all get tattoos" The end of an era, feel sad.

Well having read he thread and knew who would win anyway, is there any point in watching it now.

I'm thinking if I don't, I can always say that BB never ended for me, there will be one last episode.

I'd be jumping into some inflatable pool from Argos outside in the lashing rain, trying to convince people to get in the "hot tub" with me. Akeem 2.0

Genuinely sad that it's over

I feel like all the BBs have been like bookmarks in my life.

I can tell you exactly what was going on in my life when Nikki Graham was in there. I can tell you exactly what was going on in my life when Maxwell and Saskia were in there. I could go on all day about my most memorable housemates but I won't.

Goodbye BB thanks for the laughs, tears and shocks

You'll be missed.

I am a bit like that as well


I can remember back to when Nadia won it felt like such a big moment... also i was in a cottage in Donegal off my chops on magic mushrooms.....lol...long story.



This thread has been such a good giggle, lots of great posters and no oul rubbish about the other issues of the day.


When Big brother is raised from the grave/rises like a phoenix from the flames I look forward to chatting to all you lovely people again

Agent Smith

Good Night Sweet prince...


I'll Never forget you...

Me too!

I missed a few years when it went from C4 to C5 before TV3 picked it up, but the earlier years still act as 'bookmarks' for me. If I hear '2004', I immediately go to whatever BB was that year to get a 'feel' for how the year was...ah, BB5 was a hoot, wasn't it, when you come to think of it?

For me the show was brilliant, but perhaps even more so, the fun to be had on the Channel 4 Forums, the much smaller but wonderful BBFans, and even to a lesser extent Digitalspy was legendary.

Remember - we didn't have Youtube, Facebook, Twitter - or even Gogglebox back then! So to be able to be online with others and have great banter really made BB fans feel like a community. Some of the other posters have become friends for life (as HMs like to say).

I have taken phrases into my vocab from BB back in the day, and my worry is now, as an aul wan in my late 50's who doesn't watch TOWIE/Love Island/Chelsea/Geordie...how will I know how the youngsters speak these days?

I remember when 'at the end of the day' was a new phrase, then 'it is what it is' and this year 'a beef ting'.

I think Akeem and Cian may be able to capitalise on their success in the house. Akeem might get a wee job on TV or summat - certainly both lads didn't let themselves down in the house, and hopefully it will stand to them.

Bit of a drab ending, Cameron was destined for it. At least Akeem beat all the people who hated him. I know Zoe never hated him, she just didn't know he was alive until a load of people left!

Hopefully BB gets picked up, maybe after a year or so

Yep, the consensus seems to be it ended up as a bit of an anti-climax. You can now understand Endemol's desperation to shepherd Lewis F for Führer into the final. But if it was a drab ending, it was a highly enjoyable series. No showmances, no scuzzy reality stars. Good fun and I look forward to the next one.

And it will get picked up. It's a proven ratings winner, in the UK and globally. It was Channel 5's highest rated programme every year, that's why Endemol were able to charge them £40m a year to air it.

I hope Netflix doesn't get it, as they will bleed viewers to watch it. Free-to-air channels make their money through advertising. High ratings means high rates for advertisers to get their commercials aired during it. Netflix will obviously air it to their subscriber base (I'm not a subscriber), but where does that leave the rest of us?

Confession...I was on the wine last night! Was celebrating finally becoming a homeowner after a long hard slog of saving and trying to live within my means.
So I didn’t get to see the final, said I’d stay away from all social media....sure few glass of wine and I was on the thread to find out. The irony, the latest I’ve been up mid week posting on the thread with not watching any of it!!’

In work then today extremely extremely seedy.
And cranky

Congrats and every good wish in your new home!

I'm only an occasional BB watcher, but loved the threads when I did watch.
Heartbroken when I could no longer watch Rylan! I hope he will be back.

Hugs all around to all of you, you're a great bunch of posters, funny and entertaining!

Congrats rfrip, finally a bit of good news.

Your timescales for furnishing are realistic though. Moved into mine in 2007 with all bits and pieces. Only getting to decorate properly now:P
