So weird seeing the BB17 rankings here, I feel like I was the complete opposite, your top ones are near my bottom half and your bottom half is near my top
I personally couldn't stand Charlie, Ryan, Natalie and Lateysha. My faves of the series were Jayne, Hughie, Jason and Evelyn.
I loved the series, in retrospect, I actually may even rate it as my fave civilian series of C5. It was just constant fun to watch.
In terms of the Others, they were brilliant cast, it was so funny seeing the contrast between the two as they were far superior, but it becomes more of a level playing field later on.
