Just nicked this idea from DS. Give your opinion on each of the regular BB winners and who you thought should have won instead, if applicable!
Here's mine
Craig I always preferred Anna but his confrontation of Nick made him an obvious winner.
Brian] A stand out winner that year, consistently entertaining.
Kate I didn't watch much of this year, but from what I saw I had no problem with Kate winning. She seemed good fun!
Cameron My least watched BB. Cameron was ok but like many , I found Jon more entertaining.
Nadia I never liked her, but could see that she had a strong story and was entertaining at times.
Anthony Won by default really. Early fave Makosi went way over the top and self -destructed. The only other rival was the likeable Eugene, but once he took half the money it was only fair that Ant won it.
Pete Too obvious a winner for me. He seemed a nice guy, was quite entertaining and was unwittingly at the centre of a lot of story lines. I would have preferred Aisleyne to win as I simply found her a more absorbing personality, but accepted that Pete's popularity and the strong anti-Ash vote would prevent her from doing so!
Brian I loved that he was the only one to stand up to the awful Charley apart from Chanelle who did so mostly out of pure rivalry. He overdid the lovable buffoon bit, but made me laugh more than any of the others. I would not have objected if Samanda had won though!
Rachel Darnell was my early favourite as he seemed to quickly suss out the other Hms and his analysis was usually spot on. Unfortunately his self-pity and paranoia quickly made me like him less. I always liked Rachel and could never understand the fence -sitting label, other than BB successfully pinning it on her! She had pulled others up on their actions or words a number of times. Aside from that she was sweet, quite eccentric, rarely if ever bitched and was a total sweetheart. My favourite winner along with Aaron.
Sophie Like many, I never saw her as a potential winner until very late on. I preferred the highly individual and entertaining Freddie, but sadly his paranoia over being targeted for noms led him to be a bit too triumphant when finally Lisa was up for eviction and he was gone!
I liked Siavash as well, but he too self- destructed, by dumping his girlfriend on LF for Noirin. Personally I quite liked his rebellion against BB, but he took it all too far and a lot of his support evaporated.
I warmed to Sophie over the last few weeks as she was often hilarious when drunk and so wasn't too disapointed when she won.
Josie I never disliked her to the degree most forumers do, but felt that her win lacked any real value against the weak characters who were left in the final. My choice that year was Corin, who seemed an obvious winner to me early on. She was bubbly, had a great unlikely friendship with Ben and tackled tasks with gutso and humour. Unfortunately the fact that the nasty, but strangely popular John James took a dislike to her, meant that she was always up against it with his fanatic fans. Her justified pleasure in seeing him squirm when he realised that Nathan was now Rachel's boyfriend meant that she was number one on the JJ fans hitlist when the quad eviction came!
Aaron I would never have suspected that he could win this year, being such a marmite character. I didn't like his stroppiness, but he made up for it with his quickfire wit and quirky mannerisms and he quickly became my favourite to win.
I think that the shrinking audience actually helped him this year.
Over recent years it was mainly the older viewers who were giving up on the show, giving increasing power to the younger fans. This year it seems that most of the older hardcore stuck with the show whereas last year's teeny legions seemed diminished! This gave the forums and older voters in general a lot of power which we used to give us the winner of our choice!
