Default Big Brother opinions that you've had, that have changed retrospectively?

Whether it's because you re-watched a series, read post-social media, or developed a new understanding of relationships, social structures whatever. Was there any housemate you felt a certain way towards in the house but then differently now? My personal experiences include:

1) Hazel (BB14). I really didn't like her at the time as I felt like she was manipulating and using Daley. Having said that, since then, experiencing this sort of situation myself and understanding the notion of victim-blaming better, I appreciated her situation in the house far more and like her as a housemate now.

2) Rachel (BB9). I loved her when I first watched and for the longest time she was my favorite housemate ever. Until I experienced post-social media Rachel interactions as well as understood how her winning BBUK was largely due to people relating to a passive girl in a positive way, due to gender constructs in society etc. Not saying that's the only reason people like her by any means but just an understanding i've personally come to have.

3) Helen (BB15). I really liked her and wanted her to win because I notoriously despised Ashleigh. Having said that, they are just as bad as each other and I believe that two wrongs definitely don't make a right. It was the worst final 2 ever in my opinion, where mean people really were appreciated over kind ones.

4) Pete (BB7). The first time I watched the series I really warmed to him, but I was also very young. Since then, rewatching I saw through his gimmicks and his manipulative desires to win and really went off him as a housemate.

Just some examples I thought of.
