Parallel Reality

Always so difficult on the first rate... 01 Amelia Lily - HOWLING at her wetting herself on the London Eye. Love her back catalogue and she seems very down to Earth. 02 Sandi Bogle - One of my favourites from Gogglebox! 03 Brandi Glanville - I get the feeling she's going to be controversial and will deliver. 04 Karthik Nagesan - He drove me mad on The Apprentice, but I think he'll be hilarious on this! 05 Sam Thompson - Probably the hottest guy in the house TBH :lol: and has energy without being annoying. 06 Sarah Harding - Seems good so far. Excited to see more. 07 Trisha Paytas - Never watched her videos but apparently she is a hot mess so am thinking she has great potential. 08 Shaun Williamson - BARRY OFF EASTENDERS! He made me cringe so hard in that task. 09 Derek Acorah - Such a random addition to the house :lol: I loved Most Haunted as a kid though so we'll see how this plays out. 10 Helen Lederer - I find her interesting. 11 Jemma Lucy - She seems OK. 12 Marissa Jade - Meh, didn't have a great VT to be honest... 13 Paul Danan - Just looks like Bear in 10 years and that's enough to put me off. 14 Chad Johnson - Just no. 15 Jordan Davies - Was really annoying when going into the house. He just reminds me of a male version of 'our Elleh'. No thank you.

I really enjoyed BB13, and it was one of my favourite C5 series. It had a good mix of people in there, from the awful to the amazing. I loved Shievonne and her random sayings "Wake up and smell the HOUMOUS!" and "You came at me like a bull in a china shop" :lol: - I also loved Deana, of course. What a goddess. It was a messy series early on due to the discussions of nominations. Victoria went too soon, she was a complete diva in the two or three days she was in there. I didn't like Lydia but my friend was a HUGE fan of her. Ashleigh and Luke S weren't that likable but relatively inoffensive. I remember the public absolutely HATING Caroline - She was car crash TV, but Conor was far, far worse. Rumours had it that it was fixed for him to win the money, and I think this was a rare obvious fix in BB as the white room had space for three housemates, but the producers decided that it was between the four housemates (rather than the three) with the least nominations that week, to decide which of themselves would go into the white room. Quite conveniently, Conor had received the fourth least amount of nominations, so was allowed to go in, which was ridiculous. There were also rumours that he was friends with a producer too which may have explained why he never got into more serious trouble, and the show's bias towards him (especially when they realised he wouldn't win). This series also hosted my favourite task ever (Turf Wars).

Closing entries midday tomorrow guys and gals, just incase there are any last minute votes! EDIT: Now CLOSED.

Ordered my 'Lust For Life' box set, to go with my others. Due out at the end of Sept. :wub:

Alex and Rebekah were the two best people of that series IMO. Spot on. One of the only funny bits was Alex getting like 10 spray tans in a row. I didn't watch the last few weeks, or most of it after Rebekah left to be honest. I didn't even realise they put Faye's wrestler sister in. Still, I think this was a learning curve for BB as nothing has been quite this dull, since.

I really liked Josie as a housemate! She had some great moments. I was never a Corin fan though, she just really really irritated me and I'm not sure why! I also liked Mario, Sunshine (Lady GaGa look alike) and Shabby from that series. I still have no idea how Dave came 2nd, he was a very strange man. Ben kind of reminded me of Arthur from this series BB, but it may be just the accent. BB12 up next. My least favourite of them all! Interested to see what you say about it.

Thanks for all of your rates so far!

It's a very nostalgic track. :)

03 Andrew - Didn't really have any great moments but him screaming when being waxed was quite funny. 06 Arthur - Arthur had real potential as a housemate. He didn't follow any social rules, and was refreshing IMO 09 Chanelle - Dominated the series and she was amazing to watch. She went a bit too far early on I think but she was FAB 06 Charlotte - Never shown on TV until her mum gave her advice. I don't think she was boring at all, she just got the boring edit as she didn't physically play up to the cameras all the time... But I have to base it on what I've seen. 09 Deborah - Usually portrayed in fun scenes and she's living proof that you can turn your life around. 02 Ellie - Never understood why she was so popular with viewers. I don't think she was interesting and didn't do much other than start/have showmances with people. This is exactly the type of contestant that we want to avoid on these shows. 10 Hannah - There are times that she's definitely been too much for sure, but she has given us some of the best quotes of the series, and she's also stood her ground when others have tried to put her down etc. She's not necessarily a person I'd like to be around but she was a great housemate 07 Imran - I think he was interesting, but clear not particularly liked by the public. His airtime was dominated by his wife and he got completely overshadowed. Legit love how it took him 4 hours to make a spagbol though. :lol: 11 Isabelle - My orange queen! :wub: I don't want to keep on dwelling about how she's saved the series by acting as a catalyst to Fight Night which ended up getting Lotan removed from the house. She was great entertainment and came across as a great, inspiring person too. She took hits so other housemates could enjoy luxaries, she had some fantastic scenes in the garden and living room and she looks like a queen! 06 Joe - He's just a bit odd. He did become quite fun towards the end and I think he was quite an interesting housemate. 00 Kayleigh - I can't give someone higher than a zero who has basically threatened to stab somebody else. She was pretty awful in the house, I don't think BB was right for her AT ALL. 05 Kieran - He hasn't been involved in anything, apart from the occasional strop. All his positive air time has come off the back of Deborah. -1 Lotan - I hate people who victimize and isolate others. He was by FAR the biggest attention seeker in the house. Really aggressive. He couldn't even say sorry when he was removed from the house. Dude, you said you'd physically destroy a 21 year old girl and that's really not cool. 05 Mandy - We didn't see much due to her early eviction, but she's probably given as much to the series as Charlotte has. 10 Raph - He was my early favourite with Sukhvinder for the first half of the series, until Isabelle came in. I didn't really enjoy all the pranks but I like how he didn't start loads of arguments and cared a lot about his experience in the house. 07 Rebecca - Let's face it, this woman is a complete mess, but on the few occasions she properly went off on one, it was great to watch. Also, she totally doesn't fancy, Kieran, just incase you didn't know 05 Sam - Nice enough guy, did nothing other than get with Ellie though. 01 Savannah - SUCH a bore and such a disappointment. 08 Simone - One half of an iconic duo. She's a pretty awful person but it was proper car crash TV whenever she was on the screen. Completely unpredictable and got people talking about her and the series. Also, loved when her and Sue would sit on the sofa, trashed and dragging the housemates every night. 08 Sue - Oh god. She's a huge character and has had quite a few funny moments in the house. All the drama with her dog was completely ridiculous, but she came out with some of the best quotes of the series. 10 Sukhvinder - An early favourite, I was gutted when she walked but can completely understand why she did it. She gave us breadbaggate, theworldisflatgate and was also the mayor of the house for a time. She was a highlight of the series for sure. 06 Tom - He behaved like a child and was a bit of a brat on a few occasions but I think he'd really matured towards the end.

THE UNITED KINGDOM OF BIG BROTHER Now that this fairly explosive series is over, now would be a good time to rate all housemates of this series in an overall rate, and find out who the forum's favourite, and least favourite housemates of Big Brother 18 (2017) are! I'll probably keep the rate open for this week and start doing the results at the weekend, depending how many replies there are. Feel free to also include comments including your favourite/least favourite housemate moments, and any other options too. It's up to you what you base your rate on, whether it is their personality, their entertainment value, or just their time in the house as a whole. You may award ONE 11 only, THREE 10s only and of course, if there's someone you really despised, you can also give ONE -1 too. xx Andrew xx Arthur xx Chanelle xx Charlotte xx Deborah xx Ellie xx Hannah xx Imran xx Isabelle xx Joe xx Kayleigh xx Kieran xx Lotan xx Mandy xx Raph xx Rebecca xx Sam xx Savannah xx Simone xx Sue xx Sukhvinder xx Tom In my opinion, this has been a fairly good series and there have been a lot of interesting (and different) housemates. The United Kingdom of Big Brother!

I'm going out for drinks tonight so am going to record the final. Holding out on Izzy, I will chuck some votes her way too when the show starts (but not during because they will freeze votes) - If she wins, I am going to be such an emotional drunk mess. :lol: :D

How good was tonight guys? I loved at the start when Deborah said she was going to give the flowers to one of the 350 women Kieran's with and Issy said "I never got anything from him apart from an STD". DEAD :lol: :lol: Hannah is the comeback queen of the season though. Genuinely hilarious when Andrew was like "I'm done with you" and she was like "Aw, why? :(" *fake crying* The funny thing is he actually cares and she doesn't give a s***. It was SO stood to see Sukhvinder :wub: Rebecca is a truly tragic person... Second only to Andrew. Deborah was hilarious as usual tonight. So glad she's hopefully in the final.

I actually didn't see that coming! Praying for Isabelle. I feel so bad for one of them getting evicted during this task :lol: :( - Charlotte's not even the worst one in the house.

I think Joe made a bigger impact than Sam did, but I can't imagine he can be bothered to go back in tbh. No point putting Mandy in if Charlotte's been evicted and I imagine Savannah is hanging out with her BBF Justin Bieber in L.A right now.

It's such a shame that three of the last housemates standing aren't even walking out to a live interview/crowd. Even Randy Mandy got one on like Day 4. I really would like an Isabelle/Deborah/Raph final three. Isabelle I think, has been my favourite housemate this series and, not only is she a nice person, but she's also a great role model to those younger viewers watching and I think winning would be a huge thing to her (for the public to accept her), she probably wouldn't believe it! Deborah has been brilliant too this series. Most of the highlights as of late have featured her having fun and making BB a programme fun to watch. I've always found Raph quite interesting, and relate to him in many ways (Psychology student/doesn't like to be touched/avid BB fan/is a bit mischievous/appreciates a guy with a good ass :lol: etc etc). He hasn't really been the Psychology subject I was hoping on watching but he doesn't have to prove anything and I think he's done very well.

Genuinely gutted that Hannah is likely to get back door evicted this week. She's one of the more controversial people left in the house. Surely all the housemates (apart from Andrew) and the show deserve better? If Isabelle gets backdoor evicted, I will lose my $*** :lol: :lol:

It might be good if Isabelle is up - It'd wake her fans up right before the final!

Tom confirming that he's not the sharpest tool in the box putting Isabelle up for eviction :lol: - Responding in anger never gets you anywhere, he wouldn't even listen to what Hannah was saying.

It has been a pretty good series for C5 IMO. Lots of interesting and likable characters. Obviously the show has been flopping a little and they've had to cut it short - One thing that's a shame is a lot of the quieter housemates have more time to develop in a longer series - Many of the C4 series are a classic example for that. The housemates have been very diverse and the casting has been bang on, would have been nicer to have more 'unknowns', that said. The tasks have let this series down somewhat, I genuinely think the producers have alienated some of the viewers and it's become a little too trashy. To me, Big Brother will always be a social experiment rather than a popularity contest for already semi-famous housemates.

I really think Isabelle will survive against anyone so Tom would be very stupid to put her up. I wonder if it will be a Raph vs Kieran situation. Hannah may nominate Charlotte though. I can't call who would go out of Raph and Kieran. It would be nice if Kieran went, he's the only competition left now to the outsiders.

Okay, slightly more controversial winner this week. My reason is that I've been looking through some of the videos on BBUK's YouTube channel today and Hannah's been very central to this series. There has been times when she's lost it and gone on the war path and there's times that she's too much... But I feel like I can relate to her. There are times I've taken an argument too far for sure. The bottom line is that she stands up for what she believes in, and she's very vocal, IF someone is confronting her about something. She's not a nasty person at all and I feel she's quite misunderstood. She's been up for eviction a lot, and she's survived every single time. She's loyal and also looks after her friends. I think she's done very well as a housemate and she's given me moments where I want to scream at the TV, cheer, laugh etc. She's definitely settled a little more now, and it's a shame this series wasn't longer as I think the sisters would go from strength to strength. I absolutely love the top four and would be happy if any of them won - they are interchangeable. Isabelle has delivered this series and overall, she is probably my favourite housemate this series. Raph and Deborah have both been very good, fun, loyal and caring towards their friends and would both also make great winners. Charlotte is okay. A bit disappointed she's outlasted Chanelle but at least she's been getting some air time recently. Tom, he's not my cup of tea in the slightest, and I think he's arrogant - But I don't think he's pulling any strings really. Andrew is pretty awful but isn't my least favourite this rate for the comedy value of lugging his stuff up the stairs in bin bags. :lol: It's 'game on' for Kieran now, I've found him to be particularly unlikable this week. He has like a weird focussed look on his face. I get the impression that he isn't as genuine as he makes out, and although that's okay due to the nature of BB, we are at the stage of the competition now where we'd actually like to see something, and he's been virtually invisible since Rebecca's gone. From those evicted, Sam seems like a nice guy but perhaps not really cut out for BB. He's not someone I will remember in a few years. It's a shame to see Chanelle gone after how much life she's given the series but I think her fans will transfer to Raph and Isabelle. Glad Ellie's gone, she's made a few bratty remarks in her eviction interviews. Other people aren't there to be your servants love - She's got a lot of growing up to do. I didn't want to see one day of showmance, and we got a whole series of it! As I said, I would be over the moon if any of the top 4 clenched the win. And I think one of them will. 01 (05) Hannah (4-10-8-5-2-3-4-5-2-4-3-6-5-1) 02 (01) Isabelle (4-1-1-3-3-4-1-1-2) 03 (04) Raph (1-1-1-2-1-1-3-2-1-2-6-7-4-3) 04 (02) Deborah (10-9-5-6-4-6-5-3-4-1-1-3-2-4) -- 05 (06) Charlotte (6-4-3-3-7-10-7-8-8-8-8-6-5) -- 06 (09) Tom (16-16-13-13-10-12-11-10-14-12-10-10-9-6) 07 (08) Andrew (9-11-12-11-87) 08 (07) Kieran (11-7-10-8-6-7-6-6-10-9-9-9-7-8) OUT: Mandy (8-2) - Evicted Arthur (7-5) - Walked Imran (5-13-7-7) - Evicted Sukhvinder (2-3-2-1) :cry: :cry: - Walked Kayleigh (15-14-14-14) :D - Removed Rebecca (9-6-11-9-5-5) - Evicted Lotan (13-8-6-12-8-9-12) :dance: - Removed Savannah (8-9-11) ^_^ - Evicted Joe (15-14-12-11-11-13-8-8-13) - Evicted Simone (5-7-5-2) - Evicted Sue (7-5-2-4) - Evicted Sam (11-10-11-13-10 - Evicted Chanelle (3-11-4-4-3-2-2-4-6-6-7-5-3) :( - Evicted Ellie (13-12-9-11-9-11-10-9-12-13-13-12-11) :w00t: :w00t: - Evicted

Hannah is going to provide for this last week I feel. I also bet she'll be the one who gets "fake evicted" on the "fake face to face eviction"

If Hannah goes next, I'm going to have a breakdown.

Rylan just said apparently Deborah said she may walk out with Hannah if she gets evicted. I really hope this doesn't happen.

OMG, that's hilarious!! :lol: :lol:
