Who was the main character in each series?
 

Who was the one person in each series, who gave the most to the series story wise? Not your favourite or anything but the person who contributed most

BB3 - Hard but I would say Alex, Jade, Kate (I thought Kate was boring but she was definitely a main character)
BB5 - Michelle - Had the bedsit, the romance, the sex, lots of rows - Nadia and Victor also
BB6 - Makosi - Pretty easily, Craig second
BB7 - Nikki - Had the tantrums but also a lot of stories, then Aisleyne and Grace
BB8 - Charley
BB9 - Rex
BB10 - Noirin
BB11 - No idea? Josie?
BB12 - Aaron
BB13 - Deana
BB14 - Dexter, then Gina and Hazel
BB15 - Helen Ashleigh
BB16 - Marc?
BB17 - Andy?
BB18 - Chanelle

I'll do CBB since I've seen all them and not BBs, also because civilian has already been answered above more or less.

CBB1: Jack I guess?
CBB2: Les I guess?
CBB3: Bez I guess?
CBB4: Pete followed closely by Chantelle
CBB5: Shilpa
CBB6: Coolio I guess?
CBB7: Alex I guess?
CBB8: Jedward lol
CBB9: Denise
CBB10: Julie

CBB14: Gary
CBB15: Perez
CBB16: Austin/James
CBB17: Tiffany/Stephanie/Gemma
CBB18: Sink Grease
CBB19: Kim/Jedward/Nicola
CBB20: Sarah

And no @people calling Chanelle the main of BB18. The last week proves it's Isabelle with how much main screentime she was getting. Chanelle didn't really have any arc either like all the other people listed do.

I'd argue that either Gina/Hazel were the main character of BB14. All Dexter had was the love triangle and being the house villian who was nominated every other week. Gina had a part in almost every argument or rivalry, as well as her redemption arc, while Hazel was involved in the biggest controversy of the series.

Chanelle was easily the most prominent throughout

Being the most prominent doesn't necessarily have to mean you're the main person.

She was though? She was the main figurehead of the outsiders and took out Kayleigh as well as being involved in the Sue/Simone drama.

In a series where John and Jackie exist, absolutely not!

The problem with this is that John still missed an entire week and Jackie was there three days. They're easily the most memorable of CBB3 but it'd be hard to differentiate that with them being main forefront characters

BB2 - Brian
BB3 - Jade
BB5 - Nadia
BB6 - Makosi
BB7 - Nikki
BB8 - Chanelle
BB11 - Josie
BB13 - Deana

BB18 - Chanelle

CBB1 - Jack
CBB2 - Les from what I've seen
CBB3 - Jeremy
CBB4 - Pete
CBB5 - Shilpa
CBB6 - Coolio
CBB7 - idk
CBB8 - Kerry
CBB9 - Denise
CBB10 - Julie
CBB11 - Rylan
CBB12 - Carol
CBB13 - Lee
CBB14 - Gary
CBB15 - Perez
CBB16 - Austin
CBB17 - Gemma
CBB18 - Bear
CBB19 - Nicola
CBB20 - Sarah

Got Mark and Les' names mixed up

That doesn't necessarily mean they weren't the main characters though. I think of main character as in the face of the series, and that's usually the biggest character.

Not to mention, Bez was hardly at the forefront after Jackie/John were gone. Brigitte was.

Where are people getting Austin from? I thought he was quite background until last week

The main character of CBB16 was definitely Farrah lol. I'd even say Jenna was more of a main character than Austin :shrug:.

Austin was quite prevalent throughout 16. I struggled to pick someone since that series was full of prominent people (almost all of which were American). But nevertheless he was a pretty big part of his series and had big interactions with various housemates, such as James, Farrah, Jenna, and Janice, all of which were recurring. Only other people I think can be argued as main are James, Farrah, and Janice. The rest were supporting cast more or less, with Bobby, Jenna, and Stevi/Chloe peaking now and again.
