10 Really wasn't enough for me.:joker:
But yes I based it off on how I felt about the contestants, mixed with the public and Forums reactions to these contestants, that's how I came up with my list.
Who are your most overrated contestants ever?

10-08-2015, 12:50 PM
I find Samanda to be overrated too.
Nice enough girls, but not great television. Don't mind them, though.

Nikki was a harrowing enigma who was consistently hilarious and is NOT overrated

Amber is overrated? I always thought she was underrated tbh, I loved her but I never got the impression she was particularly popular. I'd be happy to be wrong about that, though. :laugh:
Nikki was a harrowing enigma who was consistently hilarious and is NOT overrated
She's not overrated to you because you like her. To those of us who find many of her "hilarious" moments contrived or dislike her nastier side, she absolutely is. Extremely so, in my opinion. I agree with "harrowing" though (the true definition of the word, anyway). :hee:
Gina Rio is another who I personally find to be insanely overrated. Unpleasant, snobby and prone to forced Diary Room performances. Should have left in Week 2 instead of Jemima tbh.
Jeff Schroeder from BBUS is a big one. He has a homophobic rant (which they cut completely from the main show) and CBS still treats him like BB royalty (and the tennyboppers who never saw the cut rant continue to worship him). I cringe everytime he's referred to as "fan favourite Jeff Schroeder".
Victor Ebuwa, Josie Gibson and Sophie Reade are other notable overrated BBUK contestants imo.
In terms of other shows, I found Rough Copy from The X Factor 2013 massively overrated. I wish the Week 7 sing-off went to Deadlock because then they'd have been eliminated instead of Hannah.
I know you said top 10 but this is the sort of thing where, once I start listing them I'd find it hard to stop so I'll leave it at the main ones that come to mind first. :laugh:
Daniel-X
10-08-2015, 01:39 PM

Nikki certainly wasn't contrived in BB7, you can tell her tantrums came naturally and she was just genuinely funny. On her return, they were yes because she knew the public loved them.

Yeah I agree her first stint in BB7 was just Nikki. Upon her return she was very contrived though

Not the recruit part but she sucked
She is dumb for giving up on the last POV which she needed because her social game was rubbish. She's lucky that she won that secret power because she would have been sent home.

Also Helen Wood is overrated by anyone who doesn't see her as a fun sucking malicious bully and the worst female contestant in BB history.

10-08-2015, 01:45 PM
Off the top of my head
BBUK: Nikki (BB7), Rex (BB9), Freddie (BB10), Marcus (BB10), Josie/John James (BB11), Aaron (BB12), Dexter (BB14)
CBB: Pete (CBB4), Speidi (CBB11), Rylan (CBB11), Jim (CBB13), James (CBB14), Gary (CBB14), Katie H (CBB15), Pigrez (CBB15)
BBUS: Howie (BB6), Evel Dick (BB8), Dan (BB10/BB14), Jeff/Jordan (BB11/BB13)
BBCAN: Peter (BBCAN1 - he isn't universally hated so he's overrated), Kevin (BBCAN3), Naeha (BBCAN3)
I love Nikki and Naeha but I feel as if they get too much praise for what they did on their shows around here. The rest I'm not really here for :spin:

10-08-2015, 03:10 PM
Drag Race: Manila Luzon (rewatched s3 a few times now and she didn't really have any stand-out moments and was a bit of a bitch? and bombed sf hard at the comedy routine which is all anyone cares about lbr), Pearl, Milk, Ivy Winters
BBUK: probably Gina Rio the most. She was an unlikeable bitch at best. Also: Marc, Rex, Nicky on here.
CBB UK: Katie/Perez, Speidi, Charlotte Crosby, Jim Davidson
Apprentice: Luisa. Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunt.
X Factor: Ben Haenow, Same Difference (how did THAT make the final)
k that'll do

Drag Race: Manila Luzon (rewatched s3 a few times now and she didn't really have any stand-out moments and was a bit of a bitch? and bombed sf hard at the comedy routine which is all anyone cares about lbr)
Still love Manila (watching S3 now tbh) and I find it endearing that she wasn't in fact the biggest drama bringer, in fact Raja was a bigger bitch. She's never been good at comedy tho, see: her Madonna at the BOTS
Also Helen Wood is overrated by anyone who doesn't see her as a fun sucking malicious bully and the worst female contestant in BB history.

Nicky is seriously underrated and for anyone to say she's overrated is laughable :laugh: If she was in, say BB10 or 11 where there were no 'standout stars' she would honestly get the recognition she deserves. Much like Vanessa BB6, it's a shame she is often forgotten about due to Charley/Makosi being the better of the two.

A couple of names off the top of my head:
Ozzy (Survivor): Self-righteous egotistical bully who ostracised anyone who wasn't pretty or popular. Terrible social game, too reliant on challenges, BOOTED THREE TIMES IN ONE SEASON and yet beloved.
Kaysar (BBUS): Nice enough bloke but hopeless at the game, yet once again made out to be a mastermind because he got rid of Cappy who was imploding anyway.
Jeff Schroeder (BBUS): Guy is basically the Rupert of BBUS in terms of popularity, yet was a self-righteous homeophobic bully who expected everyone to sacrifice their games for him.
Jocasta (BBUS): The girl is hailed on forums as one of the greatest things since sliced bread, yes she had quirky moments but was irrelevant and useless at the game (and not in an endearing way ala Victoria)
Zach Rance (BBUS): Some good moments but a massive try-hard
Naeha (BBCAN): SECOND BOOT OF THE SEASON. Yes she was screwed over with the instant noms but her bad play got her into that position in the first place.

Dan is overrated, but he certainly isn't as bad as what as bad as a lot of his detractors make him out to be. His big mistake is thinking too much about the 'show' and making flashy moves to make himself look better at the expense of the game (the funeral for example).
