Pete Benett, Charley Uchea, Nasty Nick, Chantelle Houghton..

People who revolutionised the show.. Aaron and unfortunately, Helen, are the only people close to great status from C5 and if there was a poll in any of the names above, they'd probably all get over a 75/25 split.. Not 55/45.

Some passive aggressive bloke who was in the for 5 weeks, immune for four and left as soon as he was illegible to do so isn't a great housemate! That there, is the definition of one of the worst ever housemates, and not in a good way.

in truth he faded quickly. sadly big brother isn't the slow burn as before, its all gimmicks and manipulation so no relationships or real banter and craic , camaraderie, love really forms anymore. he went in as a tacky aention seeker, throwing nasty cheap insults around all the time ....then denied doing it. so hes a liar and really he stands for nothing

I don't mind the other 3 but they'll be people out there who won't like them, especially Nick.

I liked Helen but Marc was a much better HM. Again him being evicted has no baring on him being a bad HM, you're just ignorant and as for one of the worst ever... Haha. I can see your hatred of him is so strong which leads you to say such stupid things, that's why Marc is loved, he gets under peoples skin like yourself and he makes them say stupid things, again like you've just done. He's the definition of one of the worst housemates ever? hahaha.

Sam Evans one of the best housemates ever because he won in your logic.

No, thats not who Chantelle is and no, Sam is not a great housemate... Good luck trying to make more posts where you convince other people that they stupid things though (lol)

And no, Marc, although similar to Helen, is nowhere near a greater hm... More likable, maybe.

Woops got her mixed up with Chanelle I think, anyway my point still stands. Everybody has different opinions, not every single person will consider those you listed as legends, that's a fact.

But Sam won... Surely he's a great HM if you go off were they finished?

Again as much as I liked Helen she wasn't as good as Marc, she wasn't as funny, as clever and she let her self get wound up when she had been in arguments, opposite of Marc.

Also Helen would have certainly have went if she didn't have a pass to the final but yet you're criticising Marc for escaping 1 week, makes no sense whatsoever.

I'm just saying the great housemates would be in the top 10/20%.. Thats how I define great.. Among the best.. By the looks of the poll, he probably just scrapes into the top half, definitely not the elite. Loads of C4 hms could get more than a 55/45% split if the same question was asked. Helen and Aaron from C5 would also manage. (Sam would not, God knows why you keep bringing him up)

The reason why Marc is so close is because people don't like him, not because he isn't a legend. The fact so many like him and others don't shows to me is a legend.

Everybody has a strong opinion on him, the people who have never been thought of as legends everybody won't have a strong opinion on them because they're boring. Marc brought talking points throughout the whole series.

Liking somebody and being a 'BB great' are two different things, you assuming people aren't answering the question properly because you don't like the results is dumb.

I dislike Marc and he isn't a BB great
I dislike Helen but she is a BB great
I like Sam but he isn't a BB great
I like Chantelle and she is a BB great

to be a great housemate, you have to appeal to a broad section of the voting public. Marc didn't do that, so he is no where near a great

I don't assume, I know people cloud their judgements over HMs on this site due to their dislike towards a HM.

The "who will you remember from this series" thread proves my point when people are listing bores and not Marc, if I despised a HM and saw that thread I'd list them because I would remember them, simple as that. That's obvious proof that people let their agenda over a HM cloud their judgement.

There's no point arguing really, you and others obviously don't consider him a legend, myself and others do. He's a legend in some peoples eyes and not others, like all HMs.

...Still... A legend would be considered so by the vast majority of viewers and the numbers in the poll is conclusive, Marc is not one...

I suppose you'd be better off arguing for what the definition of a legend is
