BB9 just around the corner, how will you go about choosing your favourites? will you decide early on or do you usually sit back and wait a while before deciding?

[Shaun]

My favourite usually changes about 3 times over the series. For the first week or two I form first impressions, but then that changes dramatically (with a late arrival / my favourite going first)...

then near the end there may be a twist, and other favourites might go, so on the whole I probably choose 3 favourites.

Then again, I might get lucky and have 1 favourite the whole series (Nadia, Richard, Amy etc.)

[Jay]

I usually give it few days before picking my favourite, usually i like the entertaining housemates.

[Spike]

I don't do it off first impressions anymore because it changes throughout the series, I hated Nadia, Derek and Charley on launch night and they turned out to be my 3 favourite housemates ever. I will decide after a few weeks and on who is the most entertaining.

[Jack]

I'm usually pretty consistant with my favourites after the first impressions. It sometimes changes but never drastically. It usually changes as a result of the more quiet housemates coming out of their shells.

[Loukas]

My favourite can, and prob will, change like 5 times though the whole series, but it really does depend, i mean i dont normaly have a favourite housemate i have a favourite group/pair of housemates e.g. Lip Gloss Bitches, Craig and Anthony, Makosi and Kemal ect.

But we have to wait and see

[Rob]

well the housemates i hate at the start are my favourite at the end, e.g pete bb7 i hated at first but then i liked him

[Tom]

I pick my favourite on launch night usually and they usually stick because they tend not to annoy me because I watch them with rose tinted glasses.

Then when they are evicted, I choose a new favourite and the same process happens again.

My favourites usually get quite far anyway except last year when Laura got evicted early on, but Liam and the twins stayed until the end but I didn't like the twins until they became one housemate.

[BBDodge]

Usually decide between the time they get out of the car and the time they enter the House!

First impressions for me.

[Rob]

who did like the twins they were OTT

I loved them!

[rhombus92]

i think that i know who i like from the VT. the only exception is Laura from last year, who i liked to begin with, as did many people, but at the end of week two i couldnt stand her. otherwise all the other housemates are pretty readable, and no one has really suprised me.

[Billy]

Im weird I never EVER change mine on first impressions and i always pick the dull ones but I still like them I cant bring myself nott o like them haha

[BigSister]

I usually pick mine on first impressions then depending on how they are during the season i let them go or i dont usually i stick with them during the series

[CassetteFinger]

I choose my favorite like after 2 days, most time's and stick with them

[Dan_]

I normally choose my towards the end of the first week and have pretty much always stuck with them until they are evicted.I think only last year I changed favourite early on.

[Meredith]

I chop and change every year. My first impressions are always hellish, and I quite often find myself liking the person I hated on launch night, and vice versa.

[EamonnBB]

I pick my favourite on launch night and i stick with them until they are evicted.. i feel as if i have to its weird. eg. craig(bb6), nikki(bb7) and Charley

Thats the opposite with me, I really liked Charley on launch night but then i absolutely hated her couple of days afterwards.
I suppose I just go with my instinct and thats how I choose my favorites.

[MrGaryy]

My favs usually never change threw out the series but sometime when I rewatch they change. Like Gerry, I loved him during BB8 but in retrospect he's quite annoying! Same with Aisleyne, during BB7 I despised her! Now I quite like her!

[Barbie]

Well i dont like any of them on launch night .. i always say dont like them, next!, dont like them.. them i realise there are no housemates left to go in lol
i always change my mind during the series and find a favourite within the first week or so and then normally like them throughout .. there are the odd ones i decide i dont like half way through

[Captain.Remy]

I usually pick them at Launch and it barely changed: most of my faves made it to the final week

[BarnetFC]

i don't mean to sound all smartass or anything but i chose pete and brian as winners on the nights they went in and i was right - sorry again if it sounded like i was boasting

[jimmytubbs]

i give it 1 to 2 weeks before choosing to let things settle down
