Saskia is my ultimate mixed housemate. I kind of love her, but a lot of the time I can't stand her. I think she gets both underrated and overrated on here, I don't think she's anywhere near as bad as a lot of people say but the likes of miss cal and riley claiming her as one of the best housemates of all time? I have to laugh.

Saskia is ultimately known for her last week, and one of the best downfall stories ever, but before that, Saskia was actually one of the quiet normal ones in the first few weeks, iconic argument with Mary aside. She produced some classic lines in that argument, "Dont grit your teeth at me like a dog, woman" is legendary and said with such venomI laugh every time. Aside from that though, Saskia was kind of quiet, nice, friendly, not really a big character at all, and generally felt almost too normal for a series like BB6? I feel she would have been amazing in Vanessa Nimmo's role in BB5, imagine her vs Nadia.

She had an amazing rivalry with Derek, in which she was named "the silent assasin" :love: and gradually, slowly built a team of which she was the leader and around weeks three - four Saskia was easily the most powerful person in the house. She had her man, her two slaves who would do pretty much anything for her, and she became really arrogant and cocky, like Maxwell. Saskia really thought she would be in the final without question, all because of the cheers of week two. I watched the nomination reveal episode before this, and a quote that sticks to me is "They dont want us up, but they aint got a choice" which really proves my point.

Of course, this all leads to an amazing house divide with Team Makosi,and in week five Saskia was a straight up bitch and played the villain amazingly. Her anger during cidergate was so strong I think it may be the angriest anyone got all series, which isn't an easy thing to do in such a conflict heavy series. She did come out with some classic lines "GO TO FAACKIN AMERICA WE DONT GIVE A FUUUUCK" and "Surprised your not fingering yourself" but essentially revealed herself to be a bigoted bitch.

Saskia is an amazing housemate for me, but as a person I don't like her. She's no where near amongst the most vile in history, or even her series though and ultimately I lean more positive. Her downfall storyline, along with Maxwell, is easily the best and for me she was an entertaining housemate.

She IS one of the best

17. Victor Ebuwa

http://pictures.thisisbigbrother.com...07-1329_32.jpg

I really like Victor, and my BB5 watch has made him shoot up in my estimation, but for a big character I dont have much to say on him? He was quirky, unique in that he openly played the game, delivered some great lines, played a big role and was actually a decent person underneath it all.

Victor is most remembered for fight night and his rivalry with Emma, which was great, but he was a great presence I enjoyed watching even when he wasn't doing much.

Victor was a great housemate and a good person, and I credit him for playing the game in a way no one before or since did, openly admitting he was on a game show and wants to win is a good thing, and it was refreshing to see. My favourite things about him were when he would chat to Big Brother about this and what his next move was. Remember when he engineered the Daniel and Vanessa eviction because he thought the LGbS were done and he needed the other group out? Scheming legend.

Tony Montana 01-02-2019 04:11 PM

Victor :clap1: :worship: easily a top 5 male housemate of all time

16. Imogen Thomas

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20140722081623

Imogen is the most underrated housemate, EVER. She was a likeable down to earth humble strong minded chick who made a likeable character and background presence throughout BB7. I guess because she's a pretty model she gets labelled a bore? I started liking Imogen in week two where she ended Richard in an argument, showing she had balls, and showed him for the absolute mug he was..

Imogen was actually a pretty strong person who stood up for her friends - in the house next door she didn't once take part in the Aisleyne bitching, as it was so easy to do, and even defended her. I also think she played an important role in the dynamics - she was the real mother of the house, not Lea or Susie, I mean look at Aisleyne and Glyn's reaction to her eviction. She really wasn't the vacuous bore Richard painted her out to be at all.

Imogen also brought fun and some memorable moments like "HOT TOPICS! HOT TOPICS! HOT TOPICS! WITH IMOGEN""

and her gorgeous song for Susie :love: Imogen wasn't the most dynamic character, but so what? She was a great housemate and brought a lot to the show in a subtle way, and she'll always be one of my favourites.

Victor - I can agree with some of that but if we're talking about Saskia's enjoyable downfall, I actually much preferred Victor's because he was much funnier and easier to watch than Saskia, and "No YOU'RE a fucking cunt, Shell!" > "Go to ****ing America!"

Imogen - is the most OVERrated housemate, EVER. I mean she was okay but it took ages for me to see her as anything other than Sezer and Grace's understudy and even after that what did she do of importance to a pretty important series?

Cal. 02-02-2019 08:53 AM

HOT TOPICS with Imogen and her sabotaging the milk task :love:

15. Mary O'Leary

http://i.imgur.com/9oMuP0T.png

THIS LEGEND.

Mary was evicted after only 8 days, but she contributed so much to her time she whilst there that I'm ranking her this highly. Mary, from launch night, had my attention coming into the house as a white witch was always going to be fascinating, and then Mary spent her first week sulking, sleeping and arguing. #me

My favourite Mary moment is probably when she states she's going flying and no one else could use her broomstick as only she had a licence to fly :love: and then dancing in the garden with Kemal whilst eating singing about rain. Another stand out is when she claims on night one to want to leave :joker: and then goes on to say how the gnomes had their own community.

Let's not forget Mary had Saskia clocked for the bigot she was confirming that she truly does have magical powers :clap1: and it culminated in one of the best remembered arguments



Mary was a brilliant, odd character and I wish she had lasted longer, but it doesn't do any damage to BB6 at all which only gets stronger. She was endlessly fascinating, and I do consider her to easily be the best first evictee ever.

Let's celebrate with some GIFS

Mary= Legend. Such a shame she was up against Craig in the first Week. I would’ve liked to have seen more of her

Tony Montana 02-02-2019 10:14 AM

14. Shell Jubin

http://www.calrissian.com/images/she...tpoledance.jpg

I guess people are surprised Shell is so high, but yeah I really like her. It's another case where I see people cry "bore" but just don't get it. I mean I can see where people come from with others, but Shell was actually a pretty active housemate, despite what the likes of Marco and Victor think.

I think we have to start with her wedding meltdown, which is one of the best episode in the history of the show. She attacked Victor with the classic line "Victor you're a cunt but I am dancing with you" which led to Victor totally melting down and, so Shell, the quiet girl who hated conflict, got the big gameplayer evicted by actually surprising us and standing up for herself. I also totally agree with Shell in the argument, Victor had been off with her all day and for no reason other than he seemingly thought she was posh and boring? I really like Victor but it made no sense.

I think Shell actually grew up a bit in the house, think about the girl on fight night hyperventilating in the shower to the girl who finally snapped and told Victor what she though. I'm likely reading too much into it, but as Shell herself says she got a bit more "badass" -cringe-

Then we have the naked lawnmower, the meltdown over Jason not liking smoking, supporting Nadia through her needs, her random need to get naked, and being a nice person who played a big part in her series without ever getting nasty. She deserved her place in that final, and was a great housemate.

Tony Montana 02-02-2019 11:33 AM

about time, I thought she may sneak into the top 10

13. Craig Coates

http://www.calrissian.com/images/cra...inkingmood.jpg

I don't even know where to start with Craig. Hes such a horrible, impressionable, pathetic, bitchy and hypocritical person that I'm surprised he's so high up on the list, but as a housemate Craig is easily for me one of the most compelling of all time.

Craig wasn't all about Anthony though, he's actually a pretty mediocre housemate for the first half of the show, not really playing a bit part in any events bar forming Team Britney - probably the shortest lived clique in the history of the show and a transparent attempt to repeat the lip gloss bitches, something Craig had seen were popular the year before. When Lesley leaves and Vanessa joins Makosi, Craig ends up as the beta in Saskia's clique, pretty much obeying their beck and call in an attempt to fit in, which this begins the Anthony obsession.

The Craig loves Anthony storyline is such a hard but gripping watch because it's a story that so often happens in real life, myself included. I think a lot of gay guys have fallen for their straight best friend at one point, so this made Craig both relatable and horrifying to watch for me. I've said it here in the past but the night of the ambassador's ball is the only time I have ever had to literally pause the screen because I was so cringed out, it's new levels of weird and ****ed up. Craig literally won't let go of Anthony even as he shouts him to get off, and it's all so cringe. The never ending arguments, the tears, I know it as too much or repetitive for some but for me it was a great storyline. Unique, compelling funny, cringeworthy and somehow almost relatable. Craigs feelings for Anthony is probably the only time I would say someone has actually fallen in love (cringe) with someone else in the Big Brother house.

So yeah, Craig is such a complex housemate and he admittedly carried the last few weeks of the sho, remember his panic attack and his claims Eugene was trying to destroy him? He seriously did go insane in the house, which kept me glued to my laptop screen back in the winter of 2012.

“I REFUSE to diminish my character!”

Epic. 02-02-2019 11:52 AM

"CAN I HAVE A KISS MAKOSI ;) CAN I HAVE A KISS MAKOSI ;) *stares at Anthony* "

I actually theorise Craig was always insane as proven by him having the most spiteful VT of all time, and he really was the best kind of cringe there is<3. Apart from somehow making Anthony look rational, there's also him being worthless at any decency or rationality on approaching any of the many confrontations in his series. I remember when Science was dragging how fake he was and then all Craig could say was "You are out of your league with me boy. Out. Of your. LEEEEAGUE! YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO I AM OR WHAT I CAN DOOOO! :) ".

Some of his haters thought he was too reliant on the Anthony storyline, but there was loads of great stuff. He would've probably went down that route with any male he found attractive and if anything, Anthony was just his second choice after Maxwell. I always have to laugh at how ****ty he was with loyalty. First he's best friends with Lesley and hates Saskia along with his group, then becomes best friends with Saskia after Lesley leaves and hates Makosi along with this group, then after Saskia is evicted and Anthony has enough of him, he befriends MAKOSI while still hating her :joker:

Matthew. 02-02-2019 11:54 AM

He was a great housemate for sure but I couldn’t take to him as much as the others, so I think he’s orange
