That being said, when you say Rachel do you mean Rachel BB9 or Rachel BB11? If you meant Rachel from BB9 then, Rachel > All BB13 Housemates.

Lol, I do mean BB9 Rachel but don't get offended because I do think she was probably the nicest housemate ever. I just don't think she did anything very memorable in the house.

And remained boring. Took him long enough to stand up to people more than 10yr his junior.

Okay, well here's why I think she was 'entertaining'. Firstly, she was right in the middle of a lot of conflicts in that house. In the beginning with Alexandra, Rachel got right in there and defended Becky with Stephanie. Then, she had her conflict with Rex which kept people entertained for a long time. She also had her own conflict with the rest of the house over her VT and over the accusations that she was 'fake'. In addition, she had the conflicts with Lisa too, because she had Lisa convinced that she was out to flirt with Mario. Finally, we cannot forget her long-lasting (still to this date as shown on BOTS) conflict with Luke. He claimed to have seen a "completely different Rachel" during the audition process and this added a lot of fuel to the fire when creating the divide between the 'cool group' and BBlock9.

Moreover, she was also the only ever female HOH during BB9 - so the only time a female got that commanding role. She handled it in a very different manner to the other HOH's because she chose to rebel against Big Brother in order to not go against her morals and wash the dishes for the hell housemates and in doing so got all the housemates punished. Also during her reign as HOH she created she the whole 'cake controversy' which in turn led her to face eviction in the following week.

Talking about surviving evictions, Rachel did also survive three evictions - against 8 housemates on Week 8, against Stuart on Week 10, and in the double eviction on Week 13. With 22 nominations, she had one of the most out of the BB9 housemates which further shows her impact on the series - Sara nominated her every chance she got, other than when Rachel was HOH.

In addition to that form of entertainment, Rachel was also an extremely kind person, as you stated. This kindness can be deemed as an entertaining factor, because amongst all the drama in Big Brother, it really is entertaining to see a 'good' person. She proved vital to her fellow housemates too by forming very strong bonds - particularly with Kat, Mikey, Darnell and Mo and in doing so further accentuated her role in the house.

We also can't forget the fact that Rachel did win an amazing series of Big Brother which shows that she earned her status in Big Brother, fair and square. She's still talked about on a regular basis on the forums and is definitely NOT a 'boring' housemate. In fact, in my eyes, although you may see this as stretching it, she was the MOST entertaining female BB housemate ever - simply because she always made me smile and got me so into Big Brother that I always got, or still get () riled up when people talk badly about her. Yes, Steve from BB11 was boring, but Rachel was certainly not.

Wow it's getting late in the morning now!

You know she wasn't ALL that bad.

I didn't take offense by the way iRyan, and usually I agree pretty much with everything you say - I just always gotta defend Rachel

You made good points, and I respect your opinion but I still disagree. Especially the part about you saying she's the most entertaining female BB housemate ever lol. It's kind of sad when you're causing controversy only because people think you're so boring, like Rex said "I'd swap you for scrabble!".

I know you personally know Rachel so it's very understandable why you found her entertaining, because I also think it would be very fun to see someone I know on TV.

Rachel actually was my favorite housemate at the beginning of BB9 but then she started to annoy me. Probably a big reason why is because she hung around people like Mikey and Kathreya who I found very annoying.

Well that point about most entertaining housemate was just my opinion But yeah I guess we'll just agree to disagree and call it a night. Although yeah, on launch night, I remember Rachel was a big favorite - she was the only girl that got cheers

PS: For Glyn being in your sig you get all my respect anyways

Glyn > Rachel as a housemate tbh

Thanks! Yup, Glyn is probably my favorite male housemate ever. I wish he had won BB7.

Glyn was absolutely awful.

He had one the biggest growing experiences in BB history. It was wonderful to see him come into his own throughout the course of the series.

I love housemates that go through emotional journeys. Like Nadia, Aisleyne, Glyn, Deana.

[Raph]

^What iRyan said. I would write five paragraphs for Glyn too but i'm too tired now

[reece(:]

Glyn was brilliant, he went in shy and out of place but grew and came out the real winner. The next door roof climb will always be one of my favourite ever BB moments.

[crocs]

It's not going to be a brilliant finale because this year's cast is quite awful. Even the ones I kind of like are not that great housemates.

EDIT: sorry, this comment is in a wrong thread.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Glyn's personal growth involved... latching onto Mikey and taking after his asshole-ish tendencies?
