Mind you, BB17 came very close to becoming my third favourite series. Had Hughie, Andy or Jackson won, it would've toppled BB10 and been under 6 and 7 respectively. Alas Jason won and now I still debate whether I prefer it to 15 or not. It came so close

I am surprised you factor in the winner as to which is a great series tbh. I don't think that really matters given winners in general are dire with a couple of exceptions.

My fave series if BB6 but Anthony is probably in my bottom 5 of winners.
