Between 2000-2007, it was mostly males winning, and this made sense as more females voted and watched the show. Between the 7 years there (incl celeb series), there were 10 male winners and 4 female winners (incl Nadia of course).

Then from 2008 until now there have been 4 female winners 1 male winner (Alex Reid), as he broke the tradition of 4 female winning all in a row (Rachel, Sophie, Ulrika, Sophie and Josie).

Now, is this because the demographic of voters and viewers have changed? Or is it because in the last few years, females have been stringer characters, more entertaining and better quality than males?

The female contestants are more quiet and dull nowadays,while the male contestants have been more horrible and cocky and just more entertaining which is a no,no on BB.

It's a mystery. How Ulrika won when Coolio was in the house is beyond me. And Alex Reid is a big girl, of course.

we never get good men in the house
we need a guy that just likes to go around smacking peoples faces in
we need CT

Well I started watching at BB7 and haven't had a male favourite.

[CharlieO]

I have only ever had 2 male favourites in all the BB's I have watched which are all except BB1,2,4.

[Saph]

Ive never had a male favourate so yeah

[Marc]

Ulrika

The girls that have won are pretty weak.

The public like those "humble" type people who act stupid. The public fall for it every time.

Each series is different. Suppose gender doesn't matter.

However on the whole the girls are stronger in this CBB. And then there is Jedward!

[seanraff07]

The females are definitely better this series

[brian3]

years ago women on tv shows where just eye candy with no personality. now the men are just the same. you create equality by making everyone equally dull and empty (but good to look at).

That is progress for you.

[Jords]

I find women are the most hated but also the most loved nowadays. Whereas men float around in the middle.

Well Rex should have won Big Brother 9, Marcus should have won Big Brother 10, and everyone worthy of winning Big Brother 11 was cheated out of a win in the final week to ensure that Josy won.
