Judi James' Top 10 Previous 'Power Trippers'
 

1 “Nasty” Nick Bateman
Why: The first Big Brother series was won by Craig Phillips but it was Nick who set the direction, lying about his wife being killed in a car crash and getting booted off the show for trying to manipulate housemates’ eviction nominations.

2 Victor Ebuwa
Why: Teamed up with pal Jason Cowan on BB5 to form the Jungle Cats gang and got warned about his role in the infamous Fight Night.

The arch gameplayer, who sparred with the Lipgloss Bitches, said: “I played it like a chess game.”

3 Makosi Musambasi
Why: The drama queen gave fellow housemates and viewers the runaround on BB6, covering up the Secret Garden annex plot and sensationally claiming she was pregnant after a romp in the pool with winner Anthony Hutton.

4 Ziggy Lichman
Why: The memorable hunk famously kept us guessing during his on-off relationship with Chanelle Hayes in BB8. The model even got death threats and was branded a “sly dog” by other housemates.

5 Chantelle Houghton
Why: One of the most popular housemates, Chantelle was also actually one of the biggest manipulators. She convinced the celebs she was a singer with the band Kandy Floss when she was just an ordinary member of the public.

6 Conor McIntyre
Why: Conor settled in as Luke Anderson’s wingman from the start of BB13 and when a task involved them both vying for half the prize money it looked like Conor would let Luke decide the action.

But he pressed the buzzer at the last minute and walked out clutching half the prize money, leaving his mate in tears.

7 Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
Why: Speidi shook up the CBB house in January 2013 by laying into other contestants, but leaving them guessing whether their bad behaviour was all an act after all.

8 Pete Burns
Why: The lippy star tried to throw his weight around in CBB4 with his acid-tongued jibes at Jodie Marsh and Traci Bingham.

He even had police chasing after him after falsely claiming his coat was gorilla fur.

9 Dexter Koh
Why: Dexter managed to get through 13 weeks of BB14 without once revealing what looked like the true side of his character, fooling housemates and viewers.

10 Jim Davidson
Why: Despite his reputation for controversy, the comedian somehow managed to take the moral high ground while still getting in plenty of barbed comments.

He ended up winning and even his arch-enemy Luisa Zissman was treating him like a father figure.

Victor and Makosi :worship:

Eww @ Conor being on there tho

Empress chantelle. Conor shouldn't be there.

Great list, and much as I disliked Conor after epilator gate etc, his game play on that task will never be matched so in terms of power trippers yes he is definately up there.

Not sure Chantelle should have been in there would have replaced her with Aaron for turning over Jay and Louise during the 21st birthday present task for Alex, the Halloween face to face noms, and the division of the cash.

Great list apart from Ziggy and Chantelle.

He did screw his friend over and left with half the prize find. Also him and his side of the house managed to evict most of the outsiders.

Ewww conor

Makosi should be higher than victor because she actually made it to the final with half the house hating her.

Victor probably would have probably made the final if he didn't call Shell a C U Next Tuesday

Get Conor and Jim off there :yuk:

Not you guys denying Conor should be on that list when he evicted all our faves with only deana surviving

Replace Jim and Chantelle with Derek and Grace and it's a correct list

I don't see how Victor would be included when he was basically Jason's sidekick and lost his cool to such an extent he was throwing serving trays at a mentally handicapped girl.

was she really? because I did wonder :suspect:

I can see why he's there, but Seeing Connor on that list is....ugh...

She really pisses me off, smug little ****

Judy that is

It's Luke Scrase not Luke Anderson, Judy :umm2:

Conor and Luke A never got on

not long till shes bck on bots:)

where is Bea :umm2:

replace pete burns and chantelle with gina and nikki and I agree.

Told y'all about jim :idc:

I can't help but notice Aaron isn't present on the list

what a pile of ****e..why no Nadia Almada

:moorangu:

Dexter was amazing! What a player! :worship:

That is what his fans liked about him though, that he did exactly as above, I don't think anyone thought he was a victim or Mother Teresa :suspect:

I must be only one that thinks this list is complete drivel?

Where in each description have they made use of a 'power' as such, apart from maybe Chantelle (having more knowledge over the other hm's of her not being a celeb) and at a push possible Dexter for not revealing his true personality the entire way through.

Other than that this list is a big steaming pile of ****e.

I think it's just another word for gameplayers? :shrug:

Victor, Makosi and Grace are probably the best three.

To everyone saying "EW CONNOR OMG", being on a list of Power Trippers isn't necessarily a good thing. Having a "power trip" isn't usually a compliment.

pow·er trip
noun
noun: power trip; plural noun: power trips

a self-aggrandizing quest for ever-increasing control over others.

Sure, in game show it could be used to complimentary refer to one's game, but clearly the description of how Conor screwed over his friend isn't meant to praise him. It's not "Judi James Top 10 Amazing Housemates Omg I Love Them So Much".

Yeah that seems to be the way Judi is using it but that's completely different from the way this series is using it so far, they are insinuating in articles and interviews that it's called power trip because some hm's will have power over others, how will they use to further themselves etc..

They've also implied the the cast will be more vicious at playing the game this series.

How was dexter a game player he didn't really do anything. He was just weird. :laugh:

And where is Aaron pls? :umm2:

If when they say 'gameplaying housemates' they mean the Dexter sort of pretending to fancy someone and pretending to be shocked when saved I will be dissapointed :umm2:

Sorry Judi my love but most people with an ounce of common sense smelt a fake a mile off.

Aaron was terrified of Jay

Ok he still played them bitches and won.

Probably off giving an interview saying all members of the BB14 cast have attempted suicide or some such drivel to make him sound important. :idc:

no he didn't he just whined and moaned :conf:

Exactly. Dexter played a great game. I love him for it! :hugesmile:
