The week that takes out some of the biggest characters (whether you liked them or loathed them) of their respective series

Big Brother 5 - Victor
Big Brother 6 - Science
Big Brother 7 - Nikki
Big Brother 8 - Charley (and Chanelle)
Big Brother 9 - Luke
Big Brother 10 - Noirin
Big Brother 11 - Not that year
Big Brother 12 - Faye
Big Brother 13 - Caroline
Big Brother 14 - Hazel
Big Brother 15 - Not that year
Big Brother 16 - Marc

Luke? Faye? Pfft

It's weird that Noirin didn't go until Week 8, though she's still in the first half of evicted housemates. Just shows how I'm not used to the Week 13 format.

[MB.]

...it's only week 8? Good lord.

(and Luke was a strong contender for worst housemate in BB9 of all series, so I'd call him a big character. As was Bex. For... different reasons)

Luke was a massive part of BB9. The amount of bile spewed at him on DS was hilarious.

Faye... Yeah, well... It was a terrible series.

It also sort-of-works with the 8th evictee of the series (see Danielle in BB15).

The 8th evictee of BB14, for comparison, was Sophie.

(oh and Steven was one of the biggest characters of BB15, I'd say)

I don't really count Marc and Caroline Week 8 evictees. More like Week 7.

The way I look at it is usually a Week 8 evictee leaves the house around Day 57-59. With a Tuesday launch, Day 60 is the closest to those days. Therefore, for BB13 it would be Becky, and whoever goes next week for BB16. Becky wasn't that big of a character, though. But Conor left on Day 60, so he could take that role.

Day 53 is closer to Days 50-52, which are Week 7 evictees.

Am I thinking of it wrong?

Oh. Well, Zoe was one of the bigge... no, never mind...

I've always said Week 8 is the perfect amount of time to stay in the house.
You last 2 months, and have stayed in there long enough to have the experience. And you leave about two weeks before the final, so you can have your own week on BOTS, and a bit of attention outside of the house just before the show ends (not these days anyway).

I'm just going by wikipedia. But there's always been this Curse of Week 8 curse ever since Science or Nikki.

Yeah. I understand.
Week 8 is the week when most big characters are evicted. I've noticed it has happened ever since BB5.

It didn't happen in the first 4 series. Although, Melanie, Paul, and Tim did contribute to their series in ways.
