There has been bitching, fighting, breakdowns racism and errrrrrrrm bunny boiling? we have seen strippers, Mr Gay UK, fireman, mothers, fathers, and even grandparents.
There has been plenty of bed hopping flirting, drunken stripping, kissing and people have even done the deed in the house, although if asked they would strongly deny this. One incident in the pool even resulted in a pregnancy scare for mokosi hmmmmm!!
Big Brother had spin off shows called big brother little brother which was originally presented by Dermott o Leary but taken over by George Lamb when Dermott moved on to X Factor.
Another spin off show called Big Brother's Big Mouth, has been presented by many celebrities since funny man Russell Brand left. Even Big Mother herself Davina McCall had a stint on the show.

Who Was Your Favourite Winner?
Update 2013
Since writing this hub back in 2010, some of the past winners of Big Brothers have gone back to normality (whatever that is) and others have had some big breaks or a lot of media attention. Here is a brief catch up of what our winners have been up to in the last 3 years.
Craig Phillips now has his own website and continues to do DIY programmes. Criag is also the official Ambassador of Wagner's, a market leading manufacturer.
Big Brother started up again in 2011, this time on channel 5. Brian Dowling was over the moon when he was named the new host of his favourite reality show. Despite Davina being a hard act to follow, Brian did his best to make the role his own. However when a new Boss took over the show, Brian found himself axed and replaced with co-worker Emma Willis. (Ouch)
Kate Lawler is now the presenter of the Kerrang breakfast show. Kate has recently been made host of the new Bauer Late Show where she will be heard across five media stations in the north.
Anthony Hutton has starred in many pantomimes in the past few years, but has now decided to step out of the limelight and open up his own hair salon 'Dude'.
Pete Bennett has recently with magazine ALT-MU, to encourage young people with Tourette's to have careers in music and performing arts. Pete who won Big Brother back in 2006, has had a career in music himself, performing at festivals such as Glastonbury with his band 'Pete Bennett and The Love Dogs. More recently Pete appeared in John Williams movie 'The White Room' playing the role of lead clown.
Brian Belo has co wrote a comedy about reality TV called 'Team Panache'. The pilot episode is being recorded at Elstree Studios. Recently Brian filed a lawsuit against ITV and Lime Pictures for stealing his idea of popular reality show 'The Only Way is Essex' which he originally named 'Totally Essex'.
Brian pitched a pilot episode to Lime Pictures which included his friends Mark Wright, Kirk Norcross, Amy Childs and Sam Freirs who all went on to star in ITV'S 'The Only Way is Essex'.
More interestingly Brian has a contract he received from Lime Pictures back in 2010, asking to buy the rights of 'Totally Essex' for £2,500 which Brian declined. He also has lots of emails between himself and the producers that leave no doubt who the real creator of the show was.
Josie Gibson who was the last Big Brother winner on channel 4 has hardly been out of the media since her departure. Josie had a very public break up with fellow housemate John James.
Josie received a lot of press attention regarding her weight, and was very upset when some photo's of her in a bikini hit the papers while she was on holiday. Josie was so upset by the photo's she decided to slim down, and has now shed an incredible 6 stone, which led to her releasing a fitness dvd.
Josie has had her own reality show 'There's Something about Jose' and appeared on countless other TV programmes.
Since leaving the house she has had her own book and perfume out, as well as being a regular columnist for Now magazine and a presenter for OK! TV. She also became the official face for big cosmetic teeth whitening company Pearlys.
Josie Gibson has gone on to be one of the most successful Big Brother winners ever.
Big Brother Winners - Channel 5
Big Brother was re-launched on Channel 5 in 2011 and despite Davina McCall being offered to carry on as the hit shows presenter, she declined and instead the show was presented by ex big brother winner, Brian Dowling.
However Brian only hosted 2011 to 2012, before Emma Willis took over as the presenter of the show. This is not a decision that went down well with Brian, who was said to be fuming that he was axed and then replaced by friend, Emma Willis.
The show has now been on Channel 5 for five years and it was recently announced that the show would remain on our screens until at least 2018. Here are the winners so far...
