#50 – CharlieO
Previous performance: #50
1st Round: 9 points || 2nd Round: 3 points || Total: 12 points.
Kicking off the countdown for the second competition running, it’s CharlieO! Charlie’s second appearance on the table is also his second in 50th place – though he may be a non mover, he still did enough to qualify in the first place. Charlie is “an intelligent and sweet guy” in the words of one user, and although he’s not currently on the forum to be able to read this, I hope Charlie breaks free from 50th position next time around!

#49 – Bollo
Previous performance: New Entry
1st Round: 9 points || 2nd Round: 6 points || Total: 15 points.
Our first new entry on the table – it’s Bollo! Bollo has been a member of the forum since October 2011, giving hope to new members everywhere that they too could one day appear on the Most Loved countdown within 6 months of registering. Bollo was “one of the few to stay on after BB.” She has been described as having “a great style about her and always great to chat to when a little worse for wear.”

#48 – Glenn
Previous performance: Re-Entry
1st Round: 9 points || 2nd Round: 9 points || Total: 18 points.
A deserving re-entry to the Most Loved competition for Glenn! Although he’s been on the forum since 2006, it can be argued that it wasn’t until recently that Glenn hit his stride on the forum and is all the better for it, in part thanks to being involved in the obsession with The Hunger Games. One voter said “Glenn is a good person. He designs great Houses and is an easy person to get along with.” He picked up points because “he does car commercials... in Japan” and “because he’s an ass.”

#47 – Redway
Previous performance: New Entry
1st Round: 9 points || 2nd Round: 10 points || Total: 19 points.
Redway is another new entry to the Most Loved competition, placing at a respectable 47th. An apparent love for rap music sets Redway apart from the influx of new users who post lots but give away very little – so here’s what you had to say about the man himself. Redway is “pleasant to talk to and a nice guy,” said one member, who went on to say that “I’ve noticed that he backs up a few members which is a very admirable quality about him.” Another member gave him points for his “good contribution to the Daily Soap Ratings thread,” and also because he “makes some very interesting threads that get you thinking.”

#46 – mrlecturer
Previous performance: New Entry
1st Round: 12 points || 2nd Round: 10 points || Total: 22 points.
mrlecturer holds the record for shortest time between signing up and qualifying for Most Loved, which caused a huge amount of controversy among forum members. Despite this, or perhaps in spite of this, mrlecturer has continued to post away on the forum and has been propelled into the forefront of the forum’s conscience as a result. His surprise appearance on the Most Loved list is a huge incentive to keep posting, something that the “very friendly” mrlecturer ought to bear in mind and use as motivation for next time around!

#45 – Jesus.H.Christ
Previous performance: New Entry
1st Round: 9 points || 2nd Round: 15 points || Total: 24 points.
Debuting at #45 – it’s our Lord and Saviour Jesus.H.Christ! Unfortunately for him, Jesus wasn’t able to do much in the real world due to an injury, but fortunately for us on the forum, this gave him endless amounts of free time, which he used to post on TiBB. His brand of wit and his thought provoking posts in Serious Debates earned him his spot in the countdown. One user described him as being “my favourite new member, he’ss hilarious and a really nice guy” while another reckoned he is a “silver tongued devil.” He picked up votes for being “like a replacement Stu,” and because “his posts crack me up and I heard he can turn water into wine :S.” Jesus is a “great new member, very intelligent and always puts his views across really well” and, in the words of one user, “I pretty much cackle at most of the stuff he posts and I tend to agree with a lot of it. A wickedly funny member.”

#44 – fruit cake
Previous performance: #38
1st Round: 9 points || 2nd Round: 16 points || Total: 25 points.
fruit cake, although less active now than she was back when the last countdown took place, remains on the countdown this time around. Originally registering in 2009, she didn’t really become noticeably active on the forum until the tail end of 2011. Here’s what you had to say about fruit cake! She was described by one poster as a “fun bird” and as “a lovable poster” by another. That poster went on to say that she is “as nice as anyone, but also can hold her own in an argument.” One user stated that “everyone loves a bit of Fruity” while another said that “she seems nice. You could have a conversation easily with her I'd imagine. Passionate about her faves in shows which is always good.”

#43 – arista
Previous performance: Re-Entry
1st Round: 12 points || 2nd Round: 14 points || Total: 26 points.
Rebooting his Most Loved career, it’s TiBB’s favourite android: arista! Known for his numerous catchphrases and unique posting style, the mystery behind arista was always intriguing enough to make people wonder who he was and why he posted in the way he did. Although Stacey is often falsely attributed with discovering the secret of the man behind the keyboard, the end of the mystery has not dissuaded arista from posting on the forum. One user reckons that “if I posted more we would certainly be best buddies. I might become a local just for King Arista. Feeltheforce2012!” Another said that they were giving him “one point alone for that iconic avatar and another because he once called me wise, it was the ultimate approval.” One voter begged the question “without arista who would have the role of Forum Discussion Thread Creator? Who would spread the news about the latest deal on a 40" HD TV down at Aldi? TiBB needs Arista just like a sandwich needs bread. Everything would fall to bits without him.” But perhaps the most fitting tribute to arista came in the form of this reason, which simply said “he reminds us that we are essentially just talking to the computer...” Indeed.

#42 – Chewy
Previous performance: Re-Entry
1st Round: 18 points || 2nd Round: 10 points || Total: 28 points.
In at #42 we have another re-entry to the table, this time in the form of Chewy, TiBB’s resident Corrie buff. Chewy’s constant activity on the forum comes as something of a surprise, in many ways. It takes a strong character to keep up their activity when the other half of their double act disappears, but even without Nicky to bounce off of, Chewy remains a much loved part of the forum. One voter said that Chewy is “my one way link to all things happening on Corrie, always there with the updates.” Chewy is a “Corrie fan,” who for one user “gets my vote for that.” They went on to say that he is a “Great source of news. Chewy2becomeajournalist!” One member said that they “used to talk to that lad fairly often, and I don't really see him much now.. but he's decent and deserves to be high on this list.”

#41 – Iceman
Previous performance: #19
1st Round: 9 points || 2nd Round: 21 points || Total: 30 points.
A huge drop for Eoin, but by no means is that a bad thing. Personal hardships have impacted Eoin hard since our last countdown and understandably he has spent a lot of time away from the forum. When he is around on the forum though, Eoin brings a lot to the table. His passion for F1, Eminem and harsh moderating make him an interesting character, not to mention the fact he’s met Karl, TiBB’s Favourite Member From Sligo (runners up MrGaryy and Fowley.) One member said of Eoin “I like hearing his rants and is all round a pleasure to post with.” Another member gave him points because “he's a dirty bastard. What's not to like about that.” Eoin “still has epic music taste and a great guy, shame he doesn't post as much anymore” said one user, while another aptly summed him up by saying “I miss Eoin around the forum, I know he's had a tough year but I'm hoping he'll be back with us a bit more, soon. He's great for a chat and a good listener.”

#40 – kazanne
Previous performance: #40
1st Round: 9 points || 2nd Round: 22 points || Total: 31 points.
It must be hard being kazanne. Her obsession with Gerard Butler might suggest that she’s only really posting on the forum to kill time before they inevitably meet and the love affair of the century. But don’t let that fool you – there’s more to kazanne than just a (slightly concerning) crush on Gerry. One user described kazanne as being “one of my first real friends on here,” and said that she is “a very genuine person.” Another member said that “what I like about Kazanne is that she isn't a sheep, she stands by her opinions and doesn't care if people hate her for it.” Perhaps the most fitting tribute to kazanne came from a member who said “what’s not to like about Kazanne! Funny, sensible, silly, humourous all rolled into one and has a great taste in men!”

#39 – Visage
Previous performance: #23
1st Round: 12 points || 2nd Round: 23 points || Total: 35 points.
On a Big Brother forum, having an eye avatar isn’t really the best way to stand out from the crowd. But unlike those other boring bitches, Visage’s eye avatar blinks which means it moves, which makes him instantly more interesting. His drop in position reflects a drop in activity, but Visage is still very much a part of the forum and continues to contribute. Visage is a “lovely fellow” who is “so quirky”, according to some users. He was described as being “very caring” by one user, while another commended him for his “wicked sense of humour”, and for being “good to chat to. I'd call him a good friend.” Voters stated he is “a quality poster. I always enjoy reading what he has to say and agree with many of his opinions he shares. His avatar choices are always quite dudey too.” One voter simply stated that Visage “comes away with off the wall banter – often unexpected. He's a really likeable sort on and off the forum boards. He’s worth it for his Eyeball and Eye avatars alone.”

#38 – Vicky
Previous performance: #10
1st Round: 15 points || 2nd Round: 23 points || Total: 38 points.
A huge drop for Vicky who charted in the top 10 last time around. Much like Iceman before her, Vicky’s drop in position can be attributed to a decrease in activity on the forum. A much loved member of the forum and one time runner up of Most Loved; Vicky is often named as the most dedicated member of the moderating team – and rightly so, she is often up at times that most people don’t even know exist, getting rid of sex pest spam bots and sex pest forum members like they’re nothing. Vicky is “consistent, a good mod and I tend to agree with a lot of what she says” in the words of one member. Another said she’s “a brilliant mod and member, she's not been on as much lately and I miss her posts.” Vicky’s absence on the forum was lamented by another member, who said “Vicky cracks me up, she's so direct and not afraid to say what's on her mind. I miss her around though; she's not on as much as she used to be.” She’s “not afraid to laugh at herself, has a wicked sense of humour. Has shared her blackest moments and has allowed us to share her the wonderfully happy moments too which makes her likeable.”

#37 – bbfan1991
Previous performance: Re-Entry
1st Round: 12 points || 2nd Round: 30 points || Total: 42 points.
Re-entering the countdown, and being the highest ranking of those to re-enter, it’s bbfan1991. Though bbfan1991 has never revealed his real name on the forum, he often gets referred to as Reggie for short, and is known for his Manchester United allegiance and his willingness to talk to anyone, he doesn’t discriminate! A surprise no show in the last countdown, Reggie fully deserves his spot on the countdown this time around and here’s why some of you agree with me. He’s a “great active poster and always there to keep up informed on what's going on in Oaks'!” He’s “a Hollyoaks fan like me.” He’s “my football gossip buddy.” But that’s not all there is to bbfan1991. One user said “Man United fans need to stick together and wave the red flag.” He picked up points from one user who said “I don't know what I'd do on my daily TiBB routine without Reggie’s 'news' articles. If bread loaves are saving elderly women in car crashes I need to know about it.” He’s a “great Hollyoaks friend, can sit up most nights chatting away about the latest Hollyoaks gossip” for one user, while another likes him because he’s a “sound lad. He's so nice to everyone all the time; I don't think anyone could say a bad word about him. Also, he's always active in the football forums and I know he's a closet Baggie at heart. He just needs to see the light.”

#36 – Salman!
Previous performance: New Entry
1st Round: 18 points || 2nd Round: 25 points || Total: 43 points.
An impressively high debut from young Salman! Registering at the tail end of 2012, Salman has made a huge impact on the forum between then and now. Racking up over 5,000 posts in just 5 months (at time of writing) – he’s rapidly becoming one of the most active members on the forum. But why did Salman pick up votes from the forum? Salman is described as “a great person to talk to and he has great taste in TV.” He is “one of the nicest people in here” and is “very entertaining and random.” One member said that “Salman is awesome. He's funny and can always take a joke.” He earned points from one user for being “a true noble warrior. His posts are truly passionate. Not afraid of cracking the odd joke as well.”
