BB7 is a more recent series so those housemates are more likely to be remembered, despite being as dull as dishwater. Plus, new fans watch the show every year and a lot of the voters may not have seen the older series of the show and so only voted for housemates from the series they did see.

The same thing happens on here when you do polls. A lot of the older members don't post anymore and have left the site. Those that were here during and before BB5 are few in number now. We still have a lot of members that joined during BB6 and even more that joined during BB7. The other thing that has changed on the site is the age range of users. We use to have a lot of older users that saw the early shows but now most of our users first experiences of Big Brother are from Big Brother 6 and 7 onwards. It affects the results of polls.
Another interesting factor to tie in with this is people will tend to remember more recent events than those of the past. That is just the way the brian works. Older memories get buried by new memories.
