Craig Coates was underrated for years but I think he is finally getting some appreciation  Derek was loved at the time but doesn't seem to get mentioned much nowadays even when talking about classic posh housemates 
Most overrated: Heaven (she wasn't that interesting really), Aaron (he's a decent old-school winner, but he's not the Messiah), Freddie (annoying), Sam Pepper.

Yes, Belinda Belinda Belinda was one of the best 'oldie' HMs. She was entertainingly annoying but didn't fade into the background like fellow newbie Maysoon and loved her on the cycling task and her snoring.
The thing with Craig Coates was he came up with some great one liners, LOLs, DR moments and drama but the whole 'gay stalking Anfernee' is what defines him and what everyone will remember him for. When he wore the wig and got insulted that someone likened him to Moors murderer Myra Hindley is in my all time BB moments!
Heaven was superb, she is one of the few non-old females who could hold a conversation about something other than hair straighteners, celebs, boob jobs, men and lip gloss.
Aaron, obviously is popular, he's not underrated, he's rated as he won!! In fact he's in my all time top 10 at no 5. Don't think he was overrated purely because he faced stiff competition and a campaign by BBOTs/ OKTV/wolfpack/ Jem to stop him winning
Freddie - brilliant, genuinely quirky and lacked self-awareness which is rare to find in HMs now. I was gutted when he was evicted.
Sam Peper, obviously not underrated by any means, but loved the fact he came into BB with a fortnight to go and did more than the rest had done for the whole series.
