Ella was amazing, but she wasn't crazy or a petite blonde so she never seemed to register with people :(

I'll have to check out some of her stuff tomorrow and I'll let you know what I think! :)

I cba ranking stuff but off the top of my head:

Jade Ellis (TXF) - her tone of voice was basically 'my thing' and even though I usually root for the "black girl that's sent home by week 5" she was just quite lovely and super-talented and should've gone further (see also: Kiera Weathers, Treyc Cohen & Rachel Adedeji)

In terms of BBUK I've probably peppered names everywhere but Lauren Carre would have to be my pick since she's never really mentioned in "queens of BB13" lists when Lydia/Deana usually are and she was just generally far less problematic/conceited than both and just one of my favourite people.

Celeb-editions I'd throw names about like Brigitte Nielsen, Terry Christian, Heidi Fleiss and Cleo Rocos. Not really mentioned now but seemed entertaining/big presences to me before I registered on the forum / was here but barely posting about CBB6/7.

And then for Drag Race... probably Jiggly Caliente? Seen as pretty much a joke figure because of her size and kinda simple personality but also pretty sharp and fun and a good person. Oh and Dida Ritz will always be my "fave who really shouldn't have been a fave" just for her Natalie Cole. And not from that season, hmm... Stacy Layne Matthews I think pretty much changed 'Snatch Game' single-handedly and made it the iconic segment it is today (because Raja's Tyra was pretty damn bad and 2004-blog-comedy 'fun'). And I'll always love Kennedy Davenport even if everyone else did not. And even if she sent home my fave. That Roar. Wow. :clap2:

idc for other shows i've typed enough

(oh but i was just talking about Celebrity Hijack with Novo just now and basically that entire cast/series is underrated af and just really entertaining)

Some disgusting things have come out of Jeff's mouth but as he was productions pet, all seemed good for his edit eh!

Yeah I saw that, but not until weeks after it happened because I don't follow the live feeds and they conveniently left no trace of it in the main show.

On top of flying into a rage at the idea of a headmaster being gay he also apparently used homophobic slurs against Russell in BB11 too. Awful housemate.

But I do agree with Mock that it's unfair that GinaMarie and Spencer don't get as much criticism when they, along with a few others of the season said some absolutely disgusting things as well.

Spencer is easily my least favorite male ever on BBUSA.

Spencer deserves worse for the creepy child porn jokes, making graphic comments about Elissa and that stuff about physically holding his wife down or something. Just grim all round.

Jason. 30-12-2015 01:16 AM

Yeah it's not really a Top 10, I've just listed people from the shows I watch who I think are underrated

Homophobic Jeff :omgno:

Ikr, she's a Top 3 candidate in her series. And probably a Top 10 overall. <3

Jason. 30-12-2015 01:24 AM

Forgot to add Danielle (BB15) and Liz (CBB13) on my list.

Jason. 30-12-2015 01:25 AM

reece(: 30-12-2015 01:59 AM

This queen is criminally underrated


Amy Jade 30-12-2015 02:21 AM

10. Chelsea (ANTM)

http://images.buddytv.com/articles/c...ace-antm15.jpg

Paid dust amongst fans in favour of one look winner and unstable bore Ann. Chelsea produced the best photos almost every week but Tyra hated that she was older.

9. Phina Oruche (IACGMOOH)

http://img.spokeo.com/public/900-600...2006_11_22.jpg

She's barely remembered by anyone but she was a sharp tongued bitch who was scared of nobody in the camp. She also never shed away from trials. Criminally forgotten </3

8. Rachel Adadeji (X Factor)

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/...he-X-F-001.jpg

From the moment she fell over running towards Dannii Minogue I loved her, she had an amazing voice but for some reason she was ignored by the public and left instead of the token talent-free-but-hot Lloyd Daniels :(

7. TreyC Cohen (X Factor)

http://digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/10/40/...reyc_cohen.jpg

She had an amazing voice when given the right song but she was cruelly mismanaged on the show and ended up being just a filler act to give Cheryl more screen time.

6. Tania Do-Nascimento (Big Brother)

http://pictures.thisisbigbrother.com...ions-3-035.jpg

Never given the respect she deserves, Tania came from one of the weakest series but it was the viewers fault for giving her nobody to clash with after letting Anushka and Federico go too soon, as soon as the African guy came in she got messy and fun. Also deserves credit for being the only housemate not to humiliate herself by showing up for the 'Bring Jon Tickle Back' bull ****.

5. Brandi Glanville (RHOBH & The Apprentice)

http://www.bravotv.com/sites/nbcubra...e-brooks_0.jpg

Brandi is a sure fire way to bring a bit of spicy to any show, she's a drunken mess who says and even does things about a day before her brain kicks in, she is constantly underestimated on The Apprentice and lulled her competitors into making fools of them self to her benifit. I love her!

4. Lucie Jones (X Factor)

http://images2.fanpop.com/images/pho...43-484-287.jpg

A travesty she left against Jedward the joke act, she never once gave a bad performance and Cowell simply trashed her dreams in favour of ratings.

3. Heaven Afrika

http://i1.cdnds.net/11/39/realitytv_...1_day_21_1.jpg

An amazing housemate with a **** tonne of potential sent home stupidly early even though she had been one of the only housemates providing consistently. Her falling on the stairs is one of my favourite BB moments.

2. Allison Harvard (ANTM)

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...a61af53599.jpg

Robbed twice! both women she lost to have am mounted to nothing either. Tragic

1. Jemima Slades

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/...69_634x437.jpg

The best C5 Housemate. Everything from how she dressed to telling blatant lies and arguing over Wetherby her daughter died or not...Jemima is just so messy it's awful she was taken out so early and overlooked for the likes of Gina.


Macie Lightfoot 30-12-2015 02:26 AM

alol isn't Allison the most universally popular ANTM girl?

She came 2nd twice to somebody who looked 40 and a meth addict. She was underscored so much on All Stars even though she produced the best work and eventually lost out again. Losing twice when it's widely accepted she was robbed both times tells me she was underrated.

Allison Harvard is by far the most overrated ANTM girl ever. Litteraly the whole word is obsessed with her even though she was boring af.

Dominic 30-12-2015 08:52 AM

Aaryn, McCrae, Judd and Spencer are THE worst

But on topic, this would be my top 10 most underrated reality tv contestants (well Big Brother mainly) as I don't watch much else reality TV.

1) Hira Shah - Had all the qualities of a potential winner yet was boo'ed on launch, basically for just being a strong-willed asian woman. Then got evicted in one of the most convoluted channel 4-style evictions. Also people call her boring when she was everything but boring in my opinion.

2) Rachel Adedeji - Was one of the best singers the show ever had, yet fell in the bottom two three times. Probably because she was an "aggressive looking black woman" because god forbid she didn't have long straight hair.

3) Sam Kay - Arguably the nicest person in Channel 5 BB yet was evicted because of an unfair twist and because everyone basically didn't acknowledge her existence in the house.

4) Willow Macdonald - Mainly just going of TiBB here, but like notoriously hated for being what, a nice girl? The first girl to have a lesbian showmance? For wanting to become more politically progressive in the house and opening up her views? Also for basically being entirely edited out of the show despite probably having the most intricate game in BBCAN3.

5) Kenny Brain - Again going off here but the hate he receives is so unfair, especially given the fact that he was doing what the show asks of you, playing the game.

6) 4th Impact - Were arguably the best group vocally that the show has ever had, yet people 'couldn't remember their names' because shocker, they were from the Philippines so they 'aren't relatable'!!! Or as Rita Ora said "not marketable" because she doesn't understand Asian fashion when it comes to girl groups.

7) Kevin Campbell - Really glad Pete mentioned him as I would've forgotten him otherwise, but he really gets no credit when he was the best player in BB11 and was just an all-round decent guy. Also fun fact, he's the only Japanese person to ever be in BBUK, Canada or USA.

8) Kathreya Kasisopa - Incredibly underrated and kind of hated for no reason if you ask me. But one of the sweetest women to ever be on BBUK.

9) Callum Knell - Creepy callum, Gollum, all these names he got thrown at him when really he had such a good storyline in the house. He battled with the 'be a lad' desires of society when really he was just a lovely soppy guy -- and that's OK. But he's a straight white male so of course the forum wasn't going to warm to him. And the public wouldn't warm to him because he defied the stereotypes of what is expected of a 'straight white male lad'.

10) Sam Evans - The funniest winner ever in my opinion and the most genuine one. Yet he got the 'boring' accusation over and over again and people online and on TiBB really demerit his win.

This isn't the top 10 most overrated
