As the OP has pointed out, he was the one who defined BB as a game show and introduced the concept of game plans.

Nick was evicted first time round to horrendous booing and a media crucifixion - it hampered his career plans for many years and dented his self confidence. He was literally a social pariah. By coming on UBB I believe he was trying to put some ghosts to rest and I think he has done that.

I am delighted he has reached the final and if he were to win it really would be poetic justice, but knowing the GBP they will probably vote for one of the one trick ponies, Brian, Chantelle or Nikki.

BUT imagine if Nick did win - what a fantastic turn around that would be, and something no-one would ever forget. A truly fitting end to BB.
AND on the other hand he was a cheat and fraud and he got caught out!

brian FTW
