But while on BB she was able to explore herself and find what she really wants in life. She started to let people in, drink more, get involved with the social dynamics around her, and let things happen for her. She came into her own person and realize that it's okay to voice your opinions and have a personality, very comparable to Shell in BB5. The only problem is that the vast majority of Louise's airtime was dedicated to the showmance so we were left to piece together her background comments here and there.

Adele BB3


Arguing with Jade over a verruca and ending it by saying "I'll ****ing deck her" and exiting the bedroom was just pure perfection. I have no idea why she was evicted by so many votes and why she got an awful crowd reaction.

TBH she's up there with the Makosi's and Charley's IMO. She played quite similar to Makosi in the sense that she manipulated everyone without anyone really noticing, and was the last person to receive a nomination out of the whole cast (minus Tim).

I want to add Victoria from BB13 as underrated she should of never gone

[reece(:]

Victoria Eisermann is an absolute goddess and replied to me on twitter <3

[Samm]

<3

[Daniel.]

If ****** Conor left instead of Victoria then BB13 would have been even better and it's already a top tier series for me

[reece(:]

#Saladgate and the slayage of Arron Lowe were thanks to the godly Victoria

[Daniel.]

#saladgate remember #sausagegate? Lydia standing at the door while the girls bitched about Lauren , how was it even about a sausage? :l

[reece(:]

Really need to get round to rewatching BB13, it was golden (except for Dowling).

[Samm]

Deana was the ultimate queen of BB13 <3

[Daniel.]

Yes it was, the divide was so tense and actually went on all series with different evictions each week instead of one side getting wiped out one after the other (BB9)

Also Deana is a top tier housemate

New underrated Housemate

I <3 Miserable Ashleigh and Danni Xx

[Samm]

At least they will be safe this week <3

[LemonJam]

I love Scott (BB13) and it still baffles me how people never rate him. In between the constant bitching and nastiness in the series it'd occasionally just switch to Scott being a camp hilarious mess which IMO was MUCH needed for the series. While on the subject of BB13 I think Ashleigh had a pretty endearing storyline. She was obviously very insecure and her (albeit hilarious) relationship with Luke S kinda made me feel bad for her and root for her.

Roberto and his psychotic control over the kitchen and general ability to start an argument over anything is definitely an overlooked aspect of early BB6 tbh. He's kooky as **** as well which just made his responses in arguments all the more ridiculous and funny.

Belinda was absolutely hilarious and it broke my heart when she was evicted (especially to boos which is the oddest reaction ever cos she really wasn't offensive?) Creating sleep deprived housemates for the week due to her snoring was phenomenal, I mean imagine if she was there for the whole series just scatting around while everyone else is trying to hold their **** together. Her reaction to doing like 2 minutes of cycling as well describing it as worse than childbirth <3

Everyone loves Lisa BB9 but tbh she should be a staple icon of the franchise.

Overrated housemates? I'd definitely say Dexter. He managed to be a "talking point" for almost an entire series without really... doing anything? He just kind of talked himself up and never really delivered IMO. Freddie was ****ing insufferable with his constant talk of everyone having gameplans (especially saying David had a game plan by becoming friends with Lisa... yeah aligning with the most hated housemate outside is a top strategy...) Benedict is a horribly overrated early boot who did nothing for a week, then decided to be overly condescending to anyone who disliked his views and "sorry about the curry" is such a spineless dickhead way to go out. I think if he was on the other side of the house he would've been hated.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I agree with pretty much everything LJ said! I don't really care much about Scott either way but calling Arron a Who from Whoville is a lifetime highlight. Agree wholeheartedly with everything else, especially Dexter doing nothing and Freddie being the biggest hypocrite in terms of having gameplans (accusing everyone else of having them even though he has the biggest one, is there any worse type of person than that?) And I still like Benedict but I certainly don't love him or think he's a bloody legend like some people think.

The obvious answers for underrated are Vanetha, Susie, and Hira and I've waxed enough poetic about each of them that I think people are finally starting to catch on? Yay me. Caggy and Penny don't get enough love for early BBUK characters, and Lisa Jeynes deserves all the love in the world even though it was BB4. I don't know what the forum's opinion on non-Charley BB8 people are but Laura and Kara-Louise and Tracey are forgotten gems. Lisa and David get far too much hate in terms of BB10 and are so damn cute together <3 Alex and Jem don't get enough love for BB12 either and neither does Charlie for BB14 I'll end it there.

As for overrated... I know people are fond of Brian as a host but I didn't really care for him as a HM either. He's only moderately funny and his Only Gay In The Village attitude isn't a cute look (see: Newman, Richard.) Alison and Kate are nothing like people make them out to be in BB3 and for BB4 Ray is a nothing, don't know why people act like he was a big character. Grace is nothing like people make her out to be for BB7 along with Rex for BB9. With my recent BB10 rewatch almost coming to a complete I can confirm that Marcus is ridiculously overrated. Sitting in the corner and calling everyone wankers in a desperate attempt to be a badass isn't a good character and holy **** he was way too creepy about the Noirin thing. Aaron is obviously the answer for overrated BB12 people but almost anyone with any sort of fanbase can be classified as overrated can't they?

Empty vessel.

[Macie Lightfoot]

OH LJ bringing up Ashleigh (who when you don't watch live is a bit of a hilarious eviction cockroach) reminds me of how underrated Luke S and the whole Lusleigh romance is around here.



#NEVERFORGET

[Samm]

Underrated goddess

[Raph]

I'm going to stick to 5 each. 1st being the one that's either most underrated or overrated depending on the section

Underrated
1st) Sam (BB14) its ridiculous how underrated he is.
2nd) Rachel (BB11) she was so lovely but got tossed to the side by John James fans
3rd) Mikey (BB7) such a nice lad, who people for some reason never really rate
4th) Callum (BB14) all the creep comments and all that nonsense when he was such a phenomenal housemate
5th) Rachael (BB11) she had a lot to offer, I believe.

Overrated
1st) Ashleigh (BB15) easily. she's just grumpy really isn't she
2nd) Chris (BB15) what has he done exactly?
3rd) Adam (BB13) he didn't deserve second place imo
4th) Sara (BB9) again someone who didn't really deserve to be 3rd, in my opinion
5th) Dexter (BB14) he was a phony, not a great housemate!

[Raph]

Yeah great catch LemonJam! I also think Ashleigh (BB13) is hugely underrated, I actually really liked her and felt like she did go on a journey in that house
