112nd: Samanda Marchant (BB8)


Just predating Jedward by a couple of years, the UK's foremost irritating twins prior to that particular Irish invasion were this pair. Some love them, and that's fine, they're a tacky and bubblegummy caricature of what real people actually behave like. But like all good bubblegum, the sweetness wears off quick. Their only comedy moments of the series were largely unintentional (one of them getting toothpaste in her eye, one of them saying "OMG WE'RE PSYCHO" instead of psychic) and otherwise they just didn't really do anything for me. Post-series, they capitalised on the dying franchise with a #26 SMASH cover of 'Barbie Girl', and somehow became millionaires with a fitness DVD and cosmetics.

So really, I feel less guilty about this elimination because they're clearly doing fine without this game! I just don't immediately go "ah yes, the series with Samanda" when someone mentions BB8.
