Both recipients of the sympathy vote yet both unique housemates in their own regard who were at the forefront of national and even international controversy. But who was the better winner??

[Jessica.]

Shilpa, definitely, she was a scream! She used to put spit on her pimples and leave it overnight to dry them out.

[chuff me dizzy]

Cant call it, both fake pity winners, the winners I detest the most ,my fav winners have actually earned the win, not been handed it on a plate for doing sod all

[joeysteele]

I voted Ryan.
I didn't find much of Shilpa's series entertaining and it was really tedious the time the bullying of her was allowed to go on.
It took up a lot of the series.
Never saw the need for Jade, her Mother and her boyfriend to be in either.

This series has had good times and bad. I've found Ryan good to watch and have loved the discussions from Kirstie and Nick that went on.

Ryan dealt with that serious and potentially very dangerous false accusation against him really admirably
So on balance looking at each in their own series.
I feel Ryan was better overall all through.

[Elliot]

Uh personally think shilpa becuase she was a good person n a scream in her own right. But Ryan’s series was far better

[Oaker]

LEGEND Shilpa

Only racists hate her

[smudgie]

Ryan.
He was favourite from the start so could probably have won without him showing how well he handled the incident, no pity needed.

[Maxxie.]

I put shilpa for my opinion but I feel if neither of these controversies happened I also think Shilpa wouldn't have won but Ryan still probably would have

Do you really think Ryan would have beat out kirstie without the sympathy vote?

Well then he would've only won based on looks

[Epic.]

I've gone for Shilpa because she had one of the quirkiest and likeable personalities and her laugh is actually funny unlike Ryan's obnoxious one

Stranger things have happened scotty t beat stephanie, jason beat hughie etc. I'd prefer a kirstie win but considering americans hardly ever win it I'd see ryan winning as a very realistic scenario

If people found anything strange about the CBB17 final, it's Stephanie being 5% away from winning after being really hated by the public until Jeremy left where she got some random sympathy vote.

miss shilpa shetty

[*mazedsalv**]

Don't know about that

But had this not happened, Ryan would have gotten 2nd anyway if not win.

Shilpa wouldn't have been in the final at all if her controversy didn't happen.

[Rufus]

Do I even need to say?

[point17]

Shilpa no doubt. She was a great housemate

[Aaliyah]

Shilpa should have NEVER won, she was a boring bitch with no personality and nothing going for her. Jermaine or Jade would have been better winners and if it wasn't for the sympathy vote Shilpa would have never even reached the final, can't stand the bitch!

Ryan was better.

Danielle Lloyd would've been the best winner of CBB5

Her or Jade, absolutely

[Oaker]

Shilpa was a classy legend who stood up to her bullies and ended them multiple times
