BB was an international phenomenon. It was the format that made it a success...not bloody boring Nick Bateman! He was just one little UK storyline.

And the guy is clearly not exciting to watch. So ultimate HM my ass.
Now you're getting a bit over-dramatic there Zippy. No one claimed he was the sole reason for BBs success.
If you don't want to think of his contribution to the show as being anything other than a bore then why not think what life has been life for the guy the last 10 years outside of the house being known to the entire nation as "Nasty" for something that would have gone without incident in this series. You might say that was then and this is now but the fact is that he is still known as "Nasty Nick" for something that happened back then. Wouldn't it be nice if we forgave him? It wouldn't harm anyone else if he did win would it?
