In BB1 there was practically no lying because the viewers voted to expel and they were all trying to be nice so they wouldn't get booted. Also, TPTB were pretty strict about not allowing alliances. The first few seasons after that people still wanted to be perceived as honourable and honest. As they got kicked off they'd console themselves by saying that at least they had nothing to be ashamed of (implying that the others still were deceitful). Dr. Will cleverly got around it by telling everyone that he was lying. When Dani BB3 looked straight into the camera and said, "I lied," it was startling. Most of the time agreements to drop during endurance challenges were kept--until Jen backstabbed Kaysar. Along the way, lying became acceptable, although habitual liars, like Natalie BB 11 are not well liked by a lot of viewers. I'd love to hear more examples of the changes, and how you think they evolved.

I think we remember past BB's as being "nicer" because we forget a lot of the nasty stuff. Dick hit the absolute pinnacle of nastiness in Season 8. There hasn't been anything near that since.

There has been nastiness every year. In BB1 there was a firestorm because of the vote bots that kept George in the house and Brittney got evicted. OMG and George staging a walk out. The boards hated Eddie and wanted him drawn and quartered for saying the f word all the time,and when he said something about clotheslining Jamie. I was hooked...lol They used to have weekly challenges for any luxuries. They had to work together and finish the task. It kept them busy. They didn't have food contests, but they had to budget and if they spent too much on silly stuff and ran out of food or household supplies that was too bad. There were a group on this board called "Angels" who drove to the BB house and threw toilet paper over the wall.

OMG I forgot about the TP. The Krista/Justin knife incident was the worst for me..Dick caused the most work with the board moderators. I also like it when they have to work FOR food and not be denied it.

I lost track of seasons very quickly but they used to have this huge lazy susan in the middle of the table and Chiara got drunk one night and served herself to Roddy. OMG Goddessatlaw and I had a field day with that one. We must have laughed and posted silly stuff for an hour. The boards went nuts, that girl was called every name in the book..lol

They were happy for Curtis when he won the Trinatron 32" TV. Josh gave us his best tom Cruise Risky Business dance. The HOH barely fit the Head of Household and maybe 1 invited guest. The HOH wore the key around his neck and the door was always locked. Peanut Butter Bikini.... Dance Marathon Grow your own crops... They had to earn the unlocking of the Hot tub

until this season, I don't remember the goodbye-video-messages being so snarky/mean-spirited/insulting it seems like something the producers had to have been encouraging from the houseguests before the goodbyes were usually tempered and even, most all of them ending with a heartful, loving goodbye by a closest ally but now it seems they've had goodbyes wherein it's like "Good riddance, you're a b----, rot in heck." I don't recall such mean goodbye msg editing before. did this just start now or has it been creeping in in recent seasons and I haven't noticed???

oh and remember Jamie didn't want anyone to see her without makeup. She would wake up and hide under the covers with her little mirror to put on her make up

I forgot about that Bonbon. Remember Jamie having a choice to have a 5 minute chat with her mom or a movie producer and she didn't choose mom. I thought she was despicable..lol Now they can't even get their moms to sign a release.

i think every season has had some wild moments that had us viewers on the Edge of OUR seats. Will mega and Eddie's Fight online had me riled up. There has been plenty of colourful characters that sort of bullied. Think of jee Justin and Rob??? BB4, Jase Scott BB5... jase would hollar like a military drill sargent getting into people's faces. BB6 had some super tense moments, like when Michael and Cappy just about came to blows and Ivette accused kaysar of having a problem with Women! ED was the worst tho. Some of us Live Feeders started to not post his dialogue due to Content. It was pretty stomach turning and NOTHING to do with gameplay. He'd often talk to the cameras alone. I really dont remember much tension BB9 but many of us were Killing ourselves laughing at chelsea and the EGGS. i could go on and on as a Truly deranged BB fan. It was hard when BBUK BBAUS and BBUSA were going on BUT i enjoy the BBUK version much more. The celebrity version is on now. OH and actually that reminds me. you know what REALLY has changed the most thru the years??? the Diaryroom blurbs. The diary room is now like a friend, a buddy to go in and talk things out with. I liked it when BB was distant and MEAN. like they are to the Celebrities on UK. for instance - here is a write up of a punishment for failing a task http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s150/celebrity-big-brother/news/a337574/celebrity-big-brother-jedward-dressed-as-babies-video.html

I miss the banners most of all. They really through our hamsters for a loop in BB1 and BB2. (I think they were stopped after BB2 when they were part of what caused Nicolle to have an emotional breakdown -- anyone remember correctly when the banners stopped?)

I loved the 1 week dance challenge. I think it was season 2 and a HG or maybe 2 had to dance at all times to win food for the week. It was lots of fun.

Sun- Just so you know- a lot of us would hop over to Jokers to find out what Ed was saying. We felt editing adult post readers was pretty lame- just saying.
