Steve was a great story until it became clear that beyond the fact that he looked like a Bond villain he has zero personality and about as much charisma as a plastic bag. I had forgotten all about him until you reminded me of him.

Television producers require a personality. Pete was, Steve wasn't. You do realise the oxymoron in saying 'he was big in terms of ratings but so what?'.

Whatever your opinion of him as a housemate he is easily one of the most recogniseable faces of Big Brother. Hence the absurd logic of putting him in a photoshoot of - wait for it - recognisable Big Brother faces.
