What's interesting about that poll is that it's asking who you want to see re-enter the house, and Rachel is probably the ex-HM least likely to go back (certainly from amongst the winners.)
Rachel's a full-time teacher now, and she won't do anything that might put her career at risk (let's not forget Penny from BB2...) She refused to have anything to do with BBBM last year, which is why they made her the butt of a number of sketches...

I wonder how The Sun decided on that final short list - because it's not very comprehensive is it?
It's primarily made up of HMs who finished 1st or 2nd in their respective series. However, they've added a few "wild cards" (e.g. Nikki, Nick Bateman, Jon Tickle, etc), but only for series before BB8.

Just had a scan through DS, and apparently Nikki was way ahead in the Sun poll initially. The suspicion is that Rachel subsequently got a huge amount of votes as a protest against The Sun trying to dictate things.


Remember, this poll wasn't about your favourite HM, but about who you wanted to see go back into the house in BB11, Although unofficial, the Sun tried hard to pretend that it was officially linked to BB:
"Channel 4 is axing the show after ten years but is desperate for it to go out with a bang. So some of the biggest characters are set to return, and Sun readers get to help shape this year's line-up. But who should go back in the house?"


Reading between the lines, I think it's pretty clear that The Sun were hoping that Nikki (or someone similar) would win, so that they could falsely claim credit when she enters BB11 (as I think she very likely will.) This would explain the definite whiff of sour grapes coming from The Sun's article - they're essentially claiming that their own poll was rigged by Rachel fans!

I actually have to think who most of them are,
I can see why shes popular though as least she would be herself(even if some people find that boring)
As much as I loved Nikki at the time ,I honestly think that the so called big personalities like herself.Aiselyne.Nadia etcetera.etc, would be just boring caricatures of themselves and thus only Rachel would make an interesting entrance, as she is the only hm to be percieved as herself.
She could take Rex in as an example on how not to behave if you want to get ahead(i.e.win)
