Recent HMs worthy of legend status

[JoshBB]

There seems to be a common consensus on which housemates are worthy of being called 'legends' / 'bb icons'. Usually this includes HMs such as Nikki, Aisylene, Makosi, Deana, Charley etc..

This had me thinking, all of these were from the C4 era and you don't often see recent housemates included in the legend category. So, if you were to pick a housemate (or housemates) to be considered a series icon/legend, who would this be?

Ideally, it would be someone who stands out as a brilliant HM for big brother as a whole, and not just for their series. My suggestions;

Chanelle - BB18
Jayne - BB17
Gina - BB14

(and yes this thread is inspired from the whole bb16 timewarp week thing, which was a trash series btw but it made this thread a thing so theres that)

[glibberglobber]

Arthur BB18

[JoshBB]

actually he did really kick BB18 off to a good start tbf. not sure I could consider him a legend tho

Deana is not a Ch4 housemate, she's a recent enough one

[Jack_]

If we're being really picky and limiting the names to recent ones it's probably just Chanelle and Hughie

Amy and Sally

[reece(:]

Sukhvinder and Natalie!

maybe it's because I've only seen a lot of BB18 through YT clips, but I don't really see what Isabelle has done to earn the stanning she gets on here? maybe I need to watch the whole series to get it

Sukhvinder and Natalie!
I totally forgot about sukhi!! she's definitely memorable and seems proper like an C4-era HM

Deana is not a Ch4 housemate, she's a recent enough one
My bad. The majority are from C4 then.

[Lostie!]

Jayne was a fad were over her

She IS a legend! L-E-G-N-E-D.

[lewys]

people really considering people who were there for 1/2 weeks legends lmao

IMO the only ones who I'd consider legends are Chanelle n Helen Wood. They are the only 2 housemates who have slightly stayed in the press (purely off their stint in big brother, and not off of other things like Lateysha) and controlled their series highlights show, having countless quotes n iconic moments and that everyone is talking about while the series is on.

Issy is close and don't get me wrong my fav C5 housemate ever, but IMO she isn't a legend, she had a legendary take down but her actual time in the house wasn't that crazy, or eventful other than the takedown. The rest of her moments were either selfless or funny but not in a legendary way, more in a this girl is understated and funny without even knowing it. The type u want as a friend.

Jayne was a fad, I think people thought she was a legend and I guess she is the closet after Chanelle n Helen and then Gina after Jayne but they didn't have that something about them which made everyone watching talk about them and either love or hate them.

Natalie, Arthur, Sukhvinder n possibly Sallie, Bianca n Jemima were on route to become legends but IMO if they aren't coming out of the series being the most popular / talked about they can't really be considered legends. The term legends is thrown around way too much.

Thank u for coming to my Ted Talk x x x

(B.i.B is really what a legend is before people call someone who was in there 3 days a fookin legend)

Nothing, she was good and the best of the finalists but has to be one of the most overrated housemates of all time

I liked Helen, I just didn't include ha cause I presumed by recent the OP meant the last couple of years

He's not even popular on this forum I dunno what you're talking about, he's actually quite (unfairly) hated here

And I don't know why people's opinions on someone change just because "too many like them". What does that have to do with someone's actual merit as a housemate?

i didn't say on this forum ?? i just said people, as in general

n it's just a personal thing, like if i feel someone is overrated it makes me feel as if they aren't as good as they may actually be, it happens most of the time particularly on shows like x factor / bgt, in hughie's situation i think it made me deep it too much n think why people liked him so much making me not like him as much, in conclusion it's hard to fookin explain n it's just a personal thing so shut it x

ah u see for me even when jayne wasn't doing anything i found her fookin hilarious, like just the way she tottered about in ha heels HAHAHAHA, but yeah i agree with u that because of that she shouldn't be considered an icon, which is why in my first post i explained IMO a legend is someone who dominates their series highlights show (helen n chanelle)

I agreed with most of your post really, but wouldn't you say that applies to Hughie too? BB17 had a great cast but he WAS that series

My list used basically the same logic - the people who when you look back on their series, they played the biggest and most prominent/consistent part in it

i just feel like helen n chanelle dominated their series on their own, like ashleigh did play a part in BB15 n Issy n Hannah in BB18 but the vast majority were those 2 and on their own, with no supporting 'cast'.

Gina n Dexter for example were great and some of the closest after them but they always had to be involved in something else to get the airtime (the love triangle, gina vs hazel, gina vs sallie, gina n dexter together) so i'd consider them iconic and fantastic housemates but not the legends

a think it was cuz legend is such a strong word i was being really harsh and what are some of the best housemates from C5, i wouldn't put them on par with charley / nikki /makosi, like from C4 only few are considered 'legends'

Witty =/= insulting, belittling and antagonising people for not being on the same wavelength as her while disguising it as "the truth"

Put him in what place? By telling him "his lips looked scary' and that he looked like a murderer/rapist to be put in a straightjacket? Regardless of opinion on her as a housemate, a complete disgraceful bullying scumbag

Are you on drugs?! ARE YOU ****ING ON DRUGS?!?!

[Ant.]

Tbh I never know how to answer these type of questions so I'll refer to the dictionary definition of 'legend' - "an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field."

So let's just assume the field is... Big Brother lol

The names that'll always stick out from recent years are Deana, Dexter, Gina, Ashleigh, Jayne, Chanelle, and Isabelle. And while it pains me to say it bc 'legend' seems more like a compliment rather than a group of housemates, Helen is, by that definition, a legend

Sukhvinder and Sallie were important characters to the first week or 2 of their respective series but to call them a legend seems a bit odd to do for me

I'd argue BB16 Marc is between Sukhvinder/Sallie level and the people I consider 'legends'

don't get me wrong she's a little potty mouth (!!!)

If this was an argument to her being a 'good housemate' (I personally found her extremely draining and OTT negative she was argumentative for the sake of it) then I could see your point. But she's still a vile person

she's a fookin horrid human, but she's undoubtedly a legend n single handedly saved that series. i forgot about toya boop soz but pauline was gross n mark was the one of the worst that series everything he did was attempting to please the public, he only ever stood up to people when he knew 100% the public would agree n sat on the fence in actual situations, the way he treated christopher was gross n his personality was unbearably false n put on

Like, maybe it was just the edit but Helen became likeable in the last week, if we got to see that side to her earlier in the series I wouldn't mind so much? But it's the fact we saw her attack people for their physical appearance and slagging people off behind their back when they first meet (-cough- Chris)

Ashleigh was certainly more quiet and less confrontational, but she's a legend in her own right, and by different leagues I hope you aren't suggesting Helen is a bigger legend :oh:

yeah! It's like, whatever Helen had going for her in BB15 (her argumentative nature and her... uhm... vocabulary I guess?) was amplified for BB16 and it just became unbearable. The fact she had like, no positive moments in the house just made her a negative presence. And tension and negativity is needed sometimes!! But it's also not needed sometimes and even BB15's Helen was too heavy on the negativity imo

Right you'll have to clarify, how can you consider Ashleigh 'the best' while simultaneously refusing her of 'legend' status and reinforcing the idea Helen is a 'legend'?

I personally thought Ashleigh was endearing through the fact she was one of the only people who could hold her own against Helen, and while she could be moody (can't blame her tbh), she had great moments and solid friendships in the house with Chris, Christopher, Danielle and Toya.
I just see her as the less confrontational foil to Helen which is why I can only wonder why one can be considered a 'legend' but the other can't

I just see her as the less confrontational foil to Helen which is why I can only wonder why one can be considered a 'legend' but the other can't

it's hard to explain, i believe helen is a 'legend' because she completely dominated the series in the sense of highlight show n the conflict / relationships involved in the house, everyone talked about her and still do as well, a 'legend' is not always the nicest /sweetest housemate, however i have a hard time calling helen my favourite of the series because though i found a lot of the stuff she said n did funny n entertaining, some of the stuff she said and the way she treated some people were vile and i do not agree with, so my favourite lies with ashleigh due to the fact she did provide some hilarious and iconic moments (her rant about helen n take down of kimberly at the dinner party :love:), but she was inconsistent, she had off and boring weeks and if she was in any other series she wouldn't have been my fav, she is simply the best of a horrific bunch, hope that made sense

i don't think she fits a legend because she didn't dominate the series, she wasn't providing countless diary room moments and quotes like chanelle bb18 for example and she was nowhere near one of the most entertaining housemates of c5 let alone ha series. yes she was great taking down helen but she was too miserable and not in an entertaining way to be a 'legend' IMO, but i think i'm being more harsh than others in giving a 'legend' status

[lewys]

a legend to me is someone who is entertaining from the moment they enter until they leave whilst dominating the series solely on their own n being the most talked about, hence why IMO that's why only helen n chanelle fit that bill, however they aren't my fav 2 C5 housemates

Why is this a criteria? I mean imo this is the worst case scenario like if they only stood out because everyone else was boring does that truly make them a legend? Imo someone standing out in a series full of good housemates is more legendary. e.g Makosi.

[armand.kay]

I don't even know what makes someone a legend for me all I know is that the overbearing bully of the season doesn't make you one. So Miss Helen and Conor can stay in hell and far away from my list (when I get to making ha)
https://uploadir.com/u/mdcese39

[Owen19]

Helen should never be considered a legend under ANY definition

For me a legend has to have at least some air of likeability to them who brings a noticeable presence but not a prescence that completely takes over and destroys a series

[Daniel.]

Calling Helen a legend is like calling Conor a legend

If you like villains on BB (like I do) there are so many better ones who are less malicous and actually funny, Helen is probably the nastiest person to ever go on the show and is the opposite of a fookin legend
