Yeah funny nice genuine guy very entertaining and kept it real. But Helen would have been equally as satisfying.

No. Everyone alway forgets about his nasty, bitchy behaviour towards Josh. Bubble should have won.

Brian Dowling was brilliant on BB, and he was only nasty to Josh because Josh was a patronising git!

probably the most deserving winner off all times, he is definitely the only winner who's ever moment was pure entertainment. If he hadn't been in the house BB2 would of been a BB4

For me Brian is the ultimate big brother winner. I watched almost 24 hours a day and laughed til I cried. He is the reason I got hooked on BB. Right through all series there hasn't been a housemate as good as him. I wish I could get a DVD of BB2. I miss Brian

I preferred Helen over him, maybe because he is a double winner I am showing some bias.

Yes. He always tried to be upbeat and friendly and not in a fake way. The kind of housemate we should have more of.

First time round he was deserving, the second time I need rewatch his second turn to judge but I did think he was more laidback and not as fun as his time in BB2.

But for me he was by far the most deserving winner of BB and my favourite winner out of everyone who's won. He wasn't boring and nice like most of the winners and he didn't need a redemption story to overcome. He just wanted to have fun, sure he could be bitchy but overall he was a good fun guy that didn't take himself too serious imo.

I hated the way he treated Josh but other than that I was very pleased he won.

He definitely suffered from "I'm the only gay in this village" syndrome though. He completely defined himself by his sexuality and felt so threatened when another (better looking) gay guy came in who appeared to be much more confident too.

Apart from that though, a totally deserving winner. Nice guy, funny, entertaining, great housemate.
