...is CBB5 the Shilpa Shetty one ?
Yes. 
I'll take the opportunity here to state a big proviso for any posts that follow tonight:
Although I've been a huge fan of "proper" Big Brother since the very first episode, I've never bothered that much about CBB. I did watch the first series, but that was a very different beast: a proper charity show (for Comic Relief), that was actually broadcast on BBC1! 
I had a number of problems with the following series; not least the fact that they often coincided with my holidays, when I usually didn't have internet access. I would therefore generally watched the first episode for the company on "this" forum (i.e. originally the C4 one), and leave it at that. The one big exception was CBB5, where the furore led to me inevitably being sucked back in...
The upshot of all that is that I missed a lot of the early CBB5 episodes. Any comments I make tonight are therefore going to be based a lot less on my memory of the original series...
