I haven't been invested in usual Big Brother in a couple of years but I still check out the celebrity version.

Were there any Celebrity Big Brother housemates that you were hyped for on the back of their name but they turned out to be disappointing on the show?

A big one for me was Sam Faiers, I like her but she added absolutely nothing in the house. I suppose she did reveal that she was ill during her stay, but I was expecting more from her!

Katie Price (we know why but still!)
Speidi (the second time)
Michelle Visage (good could've been so much better )
Ricky Norwood

Michelle is my #1, as she was one of my absolute dream housemates and kind of fell a bit flat. She was still one of my top few that season but being Michelle Visage she really could have been a total series definer and one of my all time faves. She really dampened herself being aligned with bloody Hopkins and ended up secondary to a lot of her shit and didn't show her full personality as much as I wanted, she was just sometimes the voice of reason which it isn't hard to do when you're next to Katie Hopkins She's such a fabulous force of nature on Drag Race, What's The T etc and just felt like a lesser version of herself on CBB.

Others:

Vicky Entwistle (after the OMG IT'S JANICE BATTERSBY moment, which was a shock as I hadn't seen her rumoured or anything, she seemed such a sour nasty old cow)
Nadia Sawalha (loved her on BOTS and had her on wishlist for CBB, but she was horrific aligning with Perez and spending her entire time baiting Katie Hopkins)
Janice Dickinson (she should have been a series defining big character, I didn't care much for her from about halfway into her stay onwards... For someone rumoured for so long who I was so excited for, her stay proved to be pretty disappointing)
Chloe-Jasmine (I'd rather she went in on her own, she seemed such an intriguing and likable personality on XF but when she wasn't draped over Stevi, she was being quite whiny, weak and annoying, I expected to be a much bigger personality who'd hold her own)
John Partridge (I loved him in EE but he was intolerable, nasty and bitter)
Katie Waissel (I liked her enough but for such a controversial X Factor star she was pretty dull, I think she has probably calmed down as to be fair it had been nearly 6 years since she was on XF since then and they'd have been better off getting her for one of the first couple of C5 series)

Jessica Cunningham, I absolutely ADORE her and think she's such a beautiful person. I feel like if she was in a normal series she would've gone far, she didn't get to realise her full potential at all .

Julie Goodyear- Turned out a sour nasty person who bitched and moanee about flipping Coleen Nolan.

She was a complete mess, though I kind of expected it. Also, the banana incident.

Julie was ICONIC? She wasn't particularly nice but she was hugely entertaining.
