*** Jane Goody insulting an Indian celebrity on Celebrity UK 2007, then coming onto the Indian version of Big Brother (hosted by Shilpa herself, after the two had made up) and receiving a [[LethalDiagnosis deadly cancer diagnosis]] two days in and being forced to pull out and later dying from it... ''damned cruel.''

** "To all of the housemates here, we are deeply sorry for any upset that we have caused today. It was totally banter. And we are really, really sorry."[[note]]During the Celebrity Big Brother UK revival series in 2024, Lauren Simon and Louis Walsh were forced to write an apology letter for discussing who they think might have nominated Lauren and singling out Zeze Millz in particular. When they read the letter to the other housemates, it turned out to be very short and didn't seem sincere, and there was an awkward silence that went on for a while as the others didn't know how to react. Many viewers thought this moment was very memorable.[[/note]]

*** Zeze [[ItMakesSenseInContext dragging a dead clown across the corridor]] [[note]][[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gTyXPAop-BE Part of this clip]] has a moment where Zeze Millz hurriedly drags a mannequin dressed as a clown through the corridoor, which many viewers posted [=GIFs=] and clips of on social media because of how hilarious it was. It was even acknowledged on the Late & Live show that it was the most memed moment of that series.[[/note]]
*** Nikita killing/knocking out Fern [[note]]In one episode, the housemates played a game where they were split into teams and had to go around popping each other's balloons. During this, Nikita Kuzmin accidentally caused Fern Britton to fall over and hit her head on a nearby seat, which made her feel unwell. As there had been some tension between the two over the past few days, this led to jokes about how Nikita was so fed up with Fern trying to start an argument with him that he killed her or knocked her out (in reality, he felt really bad about the incident).

Moving a misplaced YMMV entry. Values Resonance has a 20-year waiting period.


* PeripheryDemographic: People often watch many versions for Sociological purposes. ie, studying what the houseguests ''do''. The people who watch the US and Brazilian versions for sociological purposes (ie, alliances and pairings) also overlap with the people who do so with ''Series/{{Survivor}}''.

** UK Celebrity Series 21 garnered a strong online following from fans of ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' due to the presence of popular contestant Courtney Act on the series.

** Before having to be replaced due to testing positive for COVID, 23 had cast a woman named Christie, who was a founding member of [[https://www.baldtourage.com/ Baldtourage]]. Given how infrequently the struggles with alopecia are discussed in public today, especially by women, this is seen as amazingly ahead of its time.

Added DiffLines:

** Backdoor evictions that are based on the public vote rather than anything the houseguests have done. Many viewers think that it's unfair that a houseguest will be denied a proper exit to a live audience and a loved one to greet them, especially if it happens completely without warning and they don't even get to say goodbye to the other houseguests.

** In the UK Celebrity version, there was the fairytale shopping task in the ITV revival series. Firstly, the houseguests had to arrange themselves in a line from who they considered most evil to most good; the two most "evil" houseguests would then become the rulers for a day while the others would be their servants, having to do chores and take part in challenges, and only be allowed to eat gruel and bread. These challenges involved a quiz about previous nominations combined with having to eat some disgusting food combinations, filling up a vial with their own tears, and most brutally of all, deciding between them which one of them should take a killer nomination and face the public vote, which was ''not'' a secret test that would actually save the houseguest who volunteered. To make matters worse, the final challenge is the only one they actually passed, meaning that if none of them had agreed to face eviction then it wouldn't matter because they'd failed the whole task anyway.



** Seasons 19 and 20 introduced twists that were totally screwed over by houseguests either unwilling ot just too stupid to use them in time. The Tree of Temptation was used only once in 19, and had more punishments than benefits, and Mark got the only advantage worth a crap, which he gave to puppetmaster Paul. The next two weeks saw houseguests say no to the tree and avoid taking anything else because Paul had ironclad rule over the game and nobody wanted to disrupt the weeks. 20 had Bayleigh, who received a Power App out of pity for her showmance going home, but Bayleigh's utter inability to avoid the spotlight got her backdoored before she had a chance to hijack nominations. Tyler, the Paul-in-Chief of this season, didn't even ''need'' his Power App to get him off the block because the rival alliance in the house halted its own efforts to get him out... by being complete idiots.
