Here are some of the achievements we have gained in the 10 years of being
online and the recognition we have received…

Awards

• Web User rated Big Brother UK Website one of it’s Top 100 TV Websites in a supplement in 2001: “This is the best of the many unnofficial Big Brother sites that have sprung up over the past couple of years. It’s regularly updated with news of what the former housemates are up to and is currently working itself into a frenzy of anticipation about the summer’s new series.”
• Web User again reviewed Big Brother UK Website as a favoured choice in 2002:
  

  “This fast-updating site almost made it into our final three, but fell in Week 9 after a close vote. The housemate profiles are pretty much what we’ve seen on the other BB sites, but we like the Eviction Prediction feature, and the busy message board is one of the best we found, with hundreds of postings on topics from ‘foul mouths’ to ‘Adele’s bodybuilding programme.’

  BB watch rating: *****”

• We have been put forward several times for the Golden Web Awards
• The nso Top Site Award
• Mad Cool Network: Bronze Award
• BBC Recommended: “A highly detailed site charting the previous BB series together with competitions, features gossip and a look at the re-design of this year’s house.”
