Cast: The first and only winter season of Big Brother, for good reason. There was not one likeable character in this entire cast. The casting twist of being forced into pairs made the first half of the season feel like some awkward dating show. This cast was filled with awful personalities and trash people. It's hard to remember any contestants this season other than how absolutely obnoxious Chelsia was. There was other controversy with Matt using the N word, and some controversy about James' gay porn past being uncovered while the show was airing. Overall, casting this season seemed like they picked anyone they could who was willing to leave whatever they were doing during that winter.
Winner: The worst winner in Big Brother history, Adam. Known for calling people with development disabilities "retards", his asshole reputation followed him after his stint on Big Brother. In 2009, he was arrested for drug possession with the intention to distribute and was therefore given a maximum of 20 years in prison with a 1 million dollar fine. Looks like that Big Brother money ended up going to more pressing matters.
Rewatchability: There really isn't any reason to rewatch anything from this abysmal excuse for a season. The only memorable part of the season was the so-called "Hamstergate". During an HOH, Sharon answered that there were 2 couples in the house, but Julie Chen said the answer was 3 to count for the two house hamsters, ultimately leading to Sharon's eviction. This caused loads of controversy over the rigging of the game. If something called "Hamstergate" is the defining moment in a season, then you might want to try tuning in elsewhere.
Cast: To start off our list, we have the first ever season of the beloved reality show! I wouldn't exactly call it Big Brother though, as it was not the show we know and love today. There was no such thing as HOH, no Power of Veto, no nominations. Unlike Survivor, which solidified it's status as a staple in reality television after it's first season, Big Brother almost got cancelled after it's first run. The format of this season was extremely awkward - with the houseguests being able to cast a vote to evict anyone they wanted and the houseguest who received the highest percentage of votes got evicted. This might work for something like Survivor, which had Immunity challenges and whatnot, but this left the cast with no real way to save themselves. The cast had less than memorable personalities, besides Chicken George, the only BB1 contestant to be asked back for All Stars. Maybe this cast would have worked better with a more modern format, but unfortunately we will never know for sure.
Winner: Congratulations to Eddie for being the first ever winner of Big Brother? It's hard to rank Eddie anywhere amongst the rest simply because the format was so different for this season. There's no way to know how he would fare against the modern rules of Big Brother. So, sorry Eddie.
Rewatchability: By FAR, the most boring season of the show - heck, it almost got cancelled for a reason. Clocking it at over 70 episodes (if you can even make it through all of that), there is not one exciting moment that happened during this season of the show. I wouldn't even recommend watching it in the first place.
