My favorite memory of BB1 was when the potato clock was set an hour off and they caught Jamie unprepared for the live show. I can still see her face when Julie said "Hello, houseguests." She took off like lightning to find her lip gloss.

Those were the days.

I can't remember for sure, but I thought in BB1 (or was it 2?) the HG's painted one of the rooms before it was sealed off due to the lack of remaining HG's in the house.

The whole thing with George putting ketchup on his t-shirt was the first time I ever saw this board go completely WILD with speculation! That was so much fun...I remember that I even went out and bought a new comfy office chair because my behind was so sore from reading the boards sitting on a wooden kitchen chair...

Cmc, that was BB2 - I remember "Nicole's Diner" was painted on a wall that had a window and Bunky painted a rainbow on another wall. Its the room that is now the HRD (was known as the 'hotbox' in BB2 - and was the worst room of the house then.

Remember:
Curtis
You've seen people like us in your lifetime, You have known our face but not a name,
We are here to change that, you'll never see us the same,
Josh
You've seen people like us in your lifetime,
And you have passed us on the street of Main,
In the show we'll change that, to us it's more than a game,
Chorus
Come into our lives, see how we live...under Big Brother, Come into our lives, it's us versus them...versus Big Brother,
Jamie
Ten different walks of life all come together,
Sharing in life's laughter and pain,
We hope you'll learn by watching,
You'll make it through anything,
Chorus
Come into our lives, see how we live...under Big Brother, Don't mess up our lives, and vote us all out...out of Big Brother,
Eddie Jordan, Mega, Eddie...Curtis, Karen, Brit...
Cassandra, Jamie, Josh...and George we make a hit,
George
We all came as houseguests,
Some may come and go,
And we'll be together,
Beyond the final show,
Chorus
Come into our lives, see how we live...under Big Brother, Come into our lives, it's us versus them...versus Big Brother, Come into our lives, see how we live...under Big Brother, Don't mess up our lives, and vote us all out...out of Big Brother,
Private eyes are watching...see what they see.

How corny and sweet that was! Thanks for the memory of a kinder, gentler BB!

BB1 was more pure than 2 or 3. I loved BB1, cared less for BB2, and really haven't gotten into BB3. Guess I'll just get out my tapes from BB1 and watch Pugita, the Trinitron Dance, Georges' space trip, Brit and Mega mixing it up, the chickens, toothbrush incident and Jamie's endless application of lip gloss. Many more memories too numerous to mention.

i forgot all about curtis' voice - he was incredible.

curtis set the standard for me of an exemplary houseguest - smart, funny, kind, secure, dignified - or at least an exemplary human being!

although i know a lot of people would find it boring, but i'd love to see 12 similar houseguests and watch them match humor and intellectual wits, still vying for the money.

there would be maneuvering, it just wouldn't be the puerile 'he said/she said' type - refreshing!

Cajunrambler (first archive) - BB cuts the grass for them. I remeber Gerry having to go inside on morning so they could do it.

When BB came on 5 nights a week it was 30 minutes most nights and 1 hour I think one night.

There was less diary room interference in BB1. Yes they still went in there- but I think that they were asked less questions. I like BB1 because it was the original and they were real people- but nobody watched it. Honestly though- I do not know anyone outside of these boards that watches it.

I watched a little of it..but it was boring so I stopped..I guess I am in the minority here but I tend to like BB2 and BB3 better and I think they were much better..BB1 was a snore-fest..I could fall asleep during the show

Remember Dr. Drew Pinski and his analysis of the HGs when he talked with Julie on the live shows?

I really liked the first BB. One of my favorite memories came early on before Mega left when they all had to assume another HG's identity for a bit even doing a DR deal as that person. Who can forget Eddie as Jordan doing the stripper dance, Jordan as Brit, and Karen's lousy attempt to act like Curtis? I also have to give kudos to George, that guy was worth the endless hours of entertainment by himself. alot of people thought his "blast off" in the shower was terrible but it had me in tears from laughing so hard. I will also take Brit and Josh's relationship over Will and Shannon, Mike and Krista, Eric and Lisa, any day. How many of us actually screamed at the tv "KISS HER ALREADY" LOL. It also served as perhaps the saddest moment in BB history when Brit was evicted as no one (not even us) expected it, and the sight of Josh all alone in the back yard. I also remember early on Jordan's jealousy of those two and the night she drug Josh to bed. Even though I was glad to see Mega gone, I'd love to see what he'd be doing in the current BB3 house. I also have to say that even though some thought Jamie superficial, I found her beautiful inside and out. The only BB1 HG I was disapointed in was Cassandra, only because she didn't let more of her true self be seen by the others and I believe if she had, she might have even won. Speaking of winning, I'd have much rather Josh won that Eddie. I do agree the week long challenges should be brought back. It's a terrible shame that BB1 is being ignored by Shapiro, I'd much rather see how Eddie, Karen, Cassandra, George, Jamie, and Brit are getting along now than I would someone like Will.

I think the first one had many positives but also some negatives. Being on 6 days a week, it was very poorly produced. They just didn't have enough time, though the Australian show is also on that many times a week and it had much better production values.

The audience vote was great on the one hand, but it also meant that the HGs, for the most part, were VERY careful about what they said or did (I'm looking at you Jamie & Cassandra!)

Overall, the people seemed more real, I liked the conflict between BB & the HGs and it seemed more about a group interacting than about individuals trying to strategize and backstab.

It seems to me that for BB2 & BB3 they looked at all the variables in BB1 and decided to change ALL of them, rather than just some of them.

Audience voting.....GONE
Normal people.......GONE
No Strategizing.....GONE
Weekly Challenges...GONE
Additional Activities...GONE
Innocence...........GONE GONE GONE!!!

What a great thread....we always appreciate things once they're gone. lol

I agree with those who say they should bring back the week long challenges. These house guests are spoiled.

This year just isn't as good as the past 2.

How about that Justin adn Krista's first kiss??? lol

(stirring the pot..lol)

That's so true Onlyhuman. I do miss the normal human interaction without all the backbiting and strategizing. It was good to see how these strangers could live and work together in such confinement. I found that part much more interesting than all these little hushed conversations about he said she said such and such.

I also loved BB#1 the best. I think it is the most pure concept of Big Brother. They should have just tweaked with it rather than this major overhaul that BB#2 and BB#3 are.
Wow that song brings back so many fond memories! :)

I think Cassandra did show her self on BB1 she was a very conserative single woman... there was no harm in that... That is why she gained the name Cassy Cass (and not just from me)

It's funny... I just saw this thread and I've read it from top to bottom. 99% of the folks here talked about BB1!! So, I might as well add to it!

I *loved* BB1. There was an element of the unknown -- none of the HGs knew how much the show was being watched and none really expected to become famous from being on TV. The HGs were WAY more entertaining and WAY less backstabbing. It's gotten progressively worse each season. (I cannot believe how much BB allows these people to just lay around and do nothing!)

There were so many hysterical moments in BB1. I used to sit laughing until tears flowed out of my eyes. The Trinitron dance. Jamie running around with her lip gloss. Baking bread. Figuring out about the chickens. Chicken George. Brittney and Josh (they really WERE sweet and so uncontrived). Eddie and his "haters!" Karen and her smoking!! All the very entertaining challenges -- potato clock, dance-a-thon, painting their masks, switching IDs. Trying to pit themselves against BB. All of the people yelling over the wall. The banners! (!!!) Watching them trying to figure out what to buy for the week. Pugita! (That challenge with Pugita and the training was so cute!)

And I hate to admit it, but I've liked BB less and less since season 1. I'm not sure why I'm still watching. Can you say "addicted"?

I really really LIKE this thread! It's a smiling "remember when" happy dance kinda thread! Thanks!

Classycassfan I was a real Cassandra fan myself....in my house when 6:00 came around you could find me on the computer- I loved watching Cassandra cook dinner....anyone asked where I was and the answer was "She's Cooking With Cassandra, don't bother her!" I hope she is doing exceedingly well!

What about Megaphone lady ?? I think that was her name. Yelling over the walls to the HG's.
And George eating candy that was tossed over the wall and landing on the ground.
Or Josh jumping in the pool to save Pugita.
Brittney was my fave. Her hair colours and wigs and spunk. Oh..and her saying loudly over the live feeds the name of the boss who harassed her.
I wonder if she is still a virgin ? Maybe she's waiting for Jason ;)
