Is there an influential housemate this year who could actively have a negative effect on the series?

Previous housemates of the show-ruining variety from my recollection would be Jonny from BB3, Michelle in the later weeks of BB5 (although she was a great housemate overall) who became omnipresent in the HL shows following Victor's eviction, Nikki on her return into the house in BB7, Carole, Charley and Ziggy in BB8, BBlock in BB9 and Lisa and Noirin in BB10 who, despite her minxy antics, had a tendency to suck the energy out of the house and had Marcus following her around like a lost puppy.

Shabby is creating tension, but will no doubt become unbearable a few weeks in. John James is an interesting one, but seems to be gathering a following of insufferable arse-lickers in the house which could get very old very fast. We don't want to see Ben get evicted on Shabby's account, but if his team win outright and the entire opposing team are neutralised, things could get very boring.
