05 Makosi Musambasi

06 Sophie Reade

07 Kate Lawler

08 Rex Newmark

09 Nadia Almada

10 Brigitte Neilsen

I quite enjoyed BB12, even though it was a little too focused on the relationships. Both of the couples seemed well suited (and are possibly still together I think) so at least they didn't appear to be as showmance-y as others, like Sophie and Kris etc. The series had a lot of good points I thought - they were mostly likable characters and seeing Anton continually outsmarted by Aaron made good viewing. Rebeckah was the most narcissistic, deluded, selfish housemate that I can remember so I don't know how anyone could like her :huh:. Her eviction was very entertaining though.

 

Think my top 10 ever would be something like:

 

1. Harry (had such a great attitude and didn't take himself or the show seriously in the slightest. Very quick and funny, had his own opinions and wasn't afraid of conflict but remained upbeat throughout the whole show, in contrast to Aaron who really let things get to him. His (platonic) relationship with Alex was hilarious and his sabotage of the shopping list was amazing! Such a nice guy and not at all stuck-up and snobby as you would expect with the way he was presented initially. Also, his eviction felt like a rare occasion where every housemate was sad to see him go and there was such an obvious loss in the house).

2. Deana (Best underdog ever. Her getting saved first over Becky and particularly Conor and Arron, who had never doubted that they'd be saved due to their looks and the fact that they were #ladz, was one of the most satisfying BB moments!).

3. Caroline (I found her so consistently funny and entertaining even though she could be absolutely horrible to people. She was intriguing and a completely unique character).

4. Aaron

5. Rachel (BB9)

6. Pete

7. Faye

8. Hazel (I didn't necessarily agree with a lot of what she did and her and Gina were as bad as each other in the final week but she had such a rough time from the public/BB and handled it all like a champ. In general, I thought her character/personality was misunderstood and she had a lot of great qualities that were seemingly ignored due the Daley situation).

9. Kemal (BB6 was one of the first series I watched and I remember his first words while coming down the stairs in a full sari were along the lines of 'Come on headdress, don't let me down bitch'! I just remember him being very quotable from then on).

10. Rex

 

Honourable mentions to Sara (BB9), Makosi, Aisleyne, Imogen, Noirin, Siavash and loads more I'm forgetting.

Good to see someone else liked Noirin, she was similar to Hazel in a way I think but much more likeable imo.

 

Rachel from BB9 was terrible though, absolute vanilla. Never understood why she won, even f***ing Michael would have been better. I think Lisa would have won if it wasnt for Sara vs. Lisa a couple of weeks earlier (even though I did prefer Sara personally).

Rachel was just such a nice, sweet girl. I always found myself supporting her because she always handled herself well, was kind to people and generally very unassuming compared to everyone else. I didn't find her boring at all but yeah, she definitley wasn't hugely entertaining or anything.

 

Also, regarding Noirin and Hazel - both of them are somewhat typical Dublin girls in that they're very friendly and noticeably confident, which I think can come across as flirtatious and maybe overly self-assured to people not used to it. I think both were accused of leading people on, sometimes on the basis of how they carried themselves like that. Not excusing any of their behaviour but I don't think it helped with viewers warming to them.
