    It doesn't have to be powerful, of course in making it portable (ie smaller, as it needs to be to fit that purpose) it won't have the same power as say a PS4 or Xbox One, but for the kind of games on it, it doesn't need that. It's not just portable, it's flexible, you can play it in any way you want or need and for games like Mario Kart, Pokemon Let's Go, Mario Party, that kind of thing is perfect. The fact you can take it with you to someone's house, between rooms, or while travelling, is really great and makes up for the fact it doesn't have the power of other consoles. Nintendo has always been a bit more about those big franchises, but they so rarely get it wrong that they're enough to hook you onto a system and then there's so many hidden gems too. "For kids" is wrong, "for casual gamers" is probably more like it. Of course, a lot of hardcore gaming fans like myself have one too, but I think the reason it's done so well is that flexibility, people can use it on whatever level they want or need, and it has a lot of accessible games from familiar franchises - there's something for everyone.

     

    You can't really compare the two directly, as in to say one is better than the other, they're totally different systems with a different target audience and mostly different types of game for them. Not that Dexton's point in making this thread was to do that anyway, he just wanted to know which to get. I have both and love both, the Switch is so so easy to pick up and get used to though! I was a bit worried I might find it difficult to adjust from a PS4 with a "proper" controller (I know you can get the Switch Pro controller but that's like £55) but it's so intuitive and it works in so many different ways for each game, as I said that portability and flexibility is a huge edge, and it depends what you want. I like a bit of both and so have both, I use them for totally different things. Both have some great exclusives which swings me too, compared to say an Xbox which doesn't really have any exclusives I'd want, all the games I'd get I can just have on PS4 anyway.

    Sair is becoming one of my favourites, quietly competent and just gets on with it but seems really fun and down to earth. Shame there's no vote off today, she won't get the boost for that and will probably go next :( She can't win mind, one minute she's "boring" and "does nothing" then she does two trials and Twitter is like "let someone else do something!11"....

     

    Definitely her just behind Emily and Fleur for me, I adore Anne but I'm not that bothered if she goes as sit's what she wants really.

    Ben Haenow is the highest ever, 57.2% of the 3 in th final. It's hard to tell though, Joe McElderry has the highest actual % (62) but that was counted out of him and Olly, Alexandra also got 58% but that was out of two. We don't have pre-2007 data, I'd imagine Leona smashed it :lol: Proportionally, Ben is the highest I believe. Dalton is so smashing that :drama: Not that he'll be much more successful than about Ben's level, if that at this point.

     

    I didn't watch a second of that final, had 0 interest and just can't be bothered :/

    I'm like 99% sure Dalton is going to storm it, most likely with the biggest % ever, but there's definitely that small niggle that Anthony will snatch it and I think he'd be the worst winner of any music talent show I can recall :/ I'd be very very surprised if Scarlett broke top 2 anyway, unfortunately.

    Not gonna break ties or do positions up to top 40 as it's a bit of a pain, sometimes there's a tie of like 3 or 4 this low :lol: But I'll get a bit more detailed for around about this top 75. At least where I can, some of them are a bit hu lmaooo but it's who you guys voted for!

     

    BB12 Matt Hoffman (21pts, 1 vote)

     

    The self-appointed Brigade leader, but lowest placed of them all. The thing I most remember is him evicting Kathy with a Diamond Power Of Veto :lol:

     

    Alison Irwin (21pts, 1 vote)

     

    A bit of a comp beast on BB4, the only female to win both HOH and veto multiple times that season, let alone both! Notably, Alison was pretty hated but managed to make final 2, where she lost to Jun. The house kinda hated them both but she was hated more and had no chance :lol:

     

    Swaggy C (21pts, 1 vote)

     

    Season 20's obligitary glass cannon, poor Chris (or "Swaggy C" as he likes to be known) played far too hard to start with and was instantly a target. He was a bit much but it was a total ouch to see him backdoored by Kaitlyn who he thought he could trust as much as anyone bar his bae Bayleigh pretty much, because Kaitlyn was wet for Tyler and did whatever he wanted.

     

    BBOTT Morgan Willett (22pts, 1 vote)

     

    Didn't see a single second of OTT so idk ha but she won, go girl.

     

    Howie Gordon (22pts, 1 vote)

     

    One of those I feel i'd hate irl but he was likeable and amusing enough on the show. Not the best player though, quite hot headed and he was notably manipulated by Maggie into targeting his own alliance members when his HOH could've flipped things a bit :lol:

     

    Shane Meaney (22pts, 2 votes)

     

    BB14's token hot jock, in lieu of having a personality Shane won 6 competitions and had a showmance with Danielle (which was about 1000x more her side lmao). His eviction at the hands of Dan manipulating Danielle for the 84th time that season is ICONIC *.*

    Adam Poch (24pts, 1 vote)

     

    A rare quite successful floater, although he came 3rd after Rachel evicted him. Danielle didn't really lie when she said he played for Jeff and Jordan. Likeable enough I guess

     

    Bayleigh Denton (27pts, 1 vote)

     

    Swaggy C's other half, who became pregnant and had a miscarriage over the course of BB20 :( She started off SO well, despite us all thinking she'd likely be aggressive and ruin her game, I thought she had a chance at doing well. Fast forward to her HOH and it all came crashing down, she wasted it on Rachel, thus beginning the huge downfall of the increasingly hopeless Hive alliance :drama: Oh Bayleigh, you/we could have had it all.

     

    Ragan Fox (27pts, 2 votes)

     

    Definitely most memorable for despising Rachel and having heated arguments with her, which were hugely entertaining :lol:

     

    April Lewis (28pts, 1 vote)

     

    One of the infamous Friendship alliance, April managed to finish 4th as Ivette had to choose between her and Maggie, after queen Janelle won HOH at the right time to save herself and make top 3. I don't find her as memorable as firey Ivette or manipulative Maggie tbh but she seemed a much nicer and more likeable person so I guess it balances out.

     

    Kalia Booker (29pts, 2 votes)

     

    The only newbie to win multiple HOHs on BB13, which was dominated by the likes of Jeff, Jordan, Dani and Rachel. A refreshing change from the increasingly popular archetype of firey and strong but useless gamewise black female on the show recently, see Da'vonne/Zakiyah/Dominique and Bayleigh by the end of her run.

     

    Lisa Donahue (29pts, 2 votes)

     

    Big Brother 3's winner, who really only won due to the reason we have jury - Danielle Reye's diary room comments (more on that later). I liked her but she was nowhere near Danielle's level, her not voting her showmance back in so that she wouldn't have that target was a pretty genius/kinda brave move though that I always respected her for.

    I'd be here for it too if it was more obscure songs, she did good versions of everything on this album but because they're songs we know so well, it's hard to add anything new. Mamma Mia did it better because it was tied to a feel good film but Cher is just doing passable versions of songs we already know that are hard to go back, One Of Us is easily the best because she interprets it a bit more and brings that emotion that I don't feel even the original has. If she took some more obscure songs and put her own spin on them, that'd be really cool.

    BB2 Hardy Ames-Hill (1pt) - aligned with eventual runner-up Nicole, won multiple HOHs

    BB18 Paulie Calafiore (2pts) - hot (though considerably less so than his brother) but terrible, total hot mess but controlled the game for a while, scary thought.

    BB5 Michael "Cowboy" Ellis (2pts) - most memorable for being in the house with his half-sister who he didn't know about.

    BB17 Julia Nolan (2pts) - the less relevant but nicer twin.

    BB17 Clay Honeycutt (2pts) - possibly the hottest houseguest EVER but one of the most nauseatingly terrible showmances.

    BB16 Victoria Rafaeli (4pts) - Pointless QUEEN, can't help but stan the fact she did absolutely nothing and came 3rd (which should have been 2nd really if Cody didn't make the worst move in BB history by taking Derrick to F2)

    BB17 Shelli Poole (5pts) - Clay's showmance partner, I always kinda despised her.

    BB15 Amanda Zuckerman (5pts) - best known for being argumenative, probably slightly less racist than Gina-Marie but still awful.

    BB10/11 Jessie Godderz (6pts) - shoved in our faces far too often for someone who's only personality trait is being a gym rat.

    BB12 Kristin Bitting (6pts) - actually tried to warn the others about the Brigade but ended up getting evicted despite being 100% right.

    BB19 Kevin Schlueber (7pts) - pointless game-wise but pretty entertaining, like an amusing uncle.

    BB8 Jessica Hughbanks (7pts) - Fairly memorable in her series, pretty powerful in the middle portion of the game but ended up falling just before the end stretch.

    BB5 Drew Daniel (8pts) - feels like one of the less relevant winners to me tbh

    BB17 Jackie Ibarra (9pts) - QUEEN, she tried in the game but just never took off or got much traction to set herself up that well.

    BB16 Amber Borotza (9pts) - memorable mostly for Caleb's obsession with her which was super creepy :lol:

    BB20 Rachel Swindler (10pts) - her meltdown was hugely entertaining but came out of nowhere, I had her down as in it for the long run with a decent social game but not a lot of comp prowess, how wrong I was :lol:

    BB19 Jason Dent (10pts) - v questionable at times as much of the BB19 cast was, memorably broke Christmas' foot in week 1.

    BB6 Ivette Corredero (10pts) - pretty awful person without Maggie's gameplay prowess, never liked her one bit.

    BB16 Hayden Voss (10pts)- no prizes guessing who voted for this easy going long haired guy :kink: He had a cute showmance with Nicole, not much impact on the actual game.

    BB6/7 James Rhine (11pts) - a veto king, a fair balance of good gameplay, comp prowess and a likeable person.

    BB13 Shelly Moore (12pts) - bit of a "hu" one, I remember she got hate mail from Jeff and Jordan fans for betraying them and Christine levels of hate :lol:

    CBB1 Shannon Matthews (12pts) - an early favourite in CBB and one of the fan faves, but she played too hard too fast and got ousted soon enough. Rookie mistake :kink:

    CBB1 James Maslow (12pts) - the token hot jock of CBB, James was pretty cocky but there was definitely something likeable in a way and it wouldn't have been the same without him.

    CBB1 Brandi Glanville (12pts) - James' arch rival, of course known for CBB UK but I found her much more entertaining here.

    BB14/18 Frank Eudy (12pts) - America's favourite in BB14, I oddly found him kinda attractive but he ruined himself being kinda shit in BB18, I liked him the first time.

    BB17/18 James Huling (13pts) - somehow got top 3 in America's fave twice despite being dull as shit.

    BB20 Angela Rummans (13pts) - it's well documented what a twat I think she is :kink: Bit of a comp beast and one half of a duo nearly as bad as Clelli in Tangela.

    CBB1 Marissa Jaret-Winokur (14pts) - an underwhelming winner after Ross played such a blinder, but I can see why, to many people Ross had got out, she was the jury's winner. Not unlikeable or bad, just not Ross and she was carried there by him.

    BB5 Nakomis Dedmon (15pts) - the inventor of the backdoor (originally the five finger plan), which undoubtedly changed the game forever!

    BB5/7 Jase Wirey (18pts) - an All Star and randomly a contender to go in BBCan, known for his showmance with Holly which by BB6 had gone sour.

    BB12 Hayden Moss (18pts) - dominated the game with his alliance, helped by the fact he won four HOHs and was a beast.

    BB9 Amanada Hansen (18pts) - haven't seen this series so legit hu

    BB9 Natalie Cunial (19pts) - again hu

    BB8 Dustin Erikstrup (19pts) - arguably f***ed over by America's Player (otherwise Dick would have been evicted), otherwise memorable for his ex being in the house with him.

    BB17 Brigitte Dunning (19pts) - One where I felt she was just about to give so much and was just getting going, then she got evicted :(

    15th But It's Better If You Do 6.85

     

     

    14th Victorious 6.95

     

     

    13th Death Of A Bachelor 7.25

     

     

    12nd Hey Look Ma, I Made It 7.61

     

     

    11th LA Devotee 7.66

     

     

    Taking us all the way into the top 10 is another song from A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, two Death Of A Bachelor singles which went Platinum in the US, a promo single from the latest album Pray For The Wicked and a promo single from DOAB. Poor DOAB almost wiped out in this section! Have to say I'm a bit surprised at LAD being so high, never really got that fully.
