Had a bad spell due to Bea messing with his head but now that he has seen her true colours he will have the strength to make it through it. Helps the other housemates when they need to put things into perspective. The way he coped with being continually up for eviction was very impressive as most other housemates past and present would have cracked under that kind of pressure.
Marcus - Even more intelligent and perceptive. Undoubtably the best reader of the 'game' since BB5s Victor. His lines are very very funny. Unsure as to whether he truely believes some of the things that he says or if he is trying to be a parody. A wise influence on Freddie and a great housemate.
Siavash - Very calm and avoids conflict. Generally comes across as being a nice guy but can take liberties with the truth sometimes. Let himself down over Noirin. Must suffer from extreme arachnaphobia as he is the only person I've seen that screams louder than me at the sight of a spider. Good at helping others deal with their emotions and a calming influence.
Lisa - Very limited intelligence, most of her behaviour seems to come from instinct. Influenced the house more than any other housemate this year, although probably not by design. Terrified of eviction but shrewd enough to know that she should keep quiet or would have been facing the public wrath after her crew were decimated. Starting to feel her strength again though as she now believes that the public don't hate her and she has followers again in David and Charlie. Her voice grates like nails on a chalkboard.
David - Dumb and dull. Possibly most unlikely to be 'in it to win it' and have a gameplan as he alligned himself with someone that he knew was despised.
Charlie - A dirty little snake. Hard to tell if he is a complete moron or acting half the time. Seems to have a vendetta against Freddie, probably as he sees him as the biggest threat to him winning. I wish he'd take a very long walk off a short pier as I find him fake and vile, even worse than Lisa.
Bea - Manipulative and evil. Latched onto Freddie as part of her gameplan as she knew he was popular, then I believe that after a couple of weeks she couldn't tollerate him anymore and turned on him. Starts trouble and then if she is losing she plays the victim with her non existant 'tears'. Constantly spouting how negative people are yet she is the only one who really uses the word. Hoping that she gets pelted with rotten fruit on eviction to go with her rotten personality.
Sophie - A sweet, stupid girl most of the time but can be drawn into bitchiness due to being a bit of a sheep. Quite dull when sober but funny after drinking alcohol. Almost non existant until Kris was evicted.
Rodrigo - A good kid but again non existant for most of the show (whether because he did nothing or BB just didn't show him, we don't know). Unsure if his morality is an act or not, as he sometimes goes against what he preaches to others. Charlie seems to bring out a very fiery temper in him.
I would pick Freddie to win because he has been a very interesting housemate and for the most part handled himself with dignity. If he doesn't then I'd choose Marcus and then Siavash.
Outside of the musketeers, I could tolerate Sophie or Rodrigo winning, although I don't think they have contributed a great deal to the show.
If Lisa, Bea or Charlie won I think I would be physically sick though.

Excellent post. Well written, concise and insightful, although I do feel you left out some flaws in regard to your favourites, but sure everybody is prone to that.
Admit it, Freddie would do any normal person's head in eventually, with his over analysing and peculiar habits. He deserves total respect for how he dealt with the bullying situation (never debasing himself when confronted by their vile attacks) but I kinda feel as a result people were blinded to his obvious flaws. In essence, we were forced to love him and I have a feeling that will happen again.
Marcus is great television- I love him and loathe him in equal measure- but you didn't mention how deluded the man can get on occassion, seldom accepting any form of criticism directed at him. The show will lose a great character of stunning complexity and pathos though. He really is so like David Brent it's ridiculous.
But fair play to you Cappa; fantastic summary.
