If you could bring back one housemate who would it be and why?

[Jake.]

Lydia. Best HM this year.

[Gizmo]

Benedict or Lydia.
Both left too soon and wanted to see more of them.

[Doogle]

Would've said Benedict if Becky/Deana had gone but now I'll say Lydia.

[Shaun]

Lydia >>>>>> Benedict > Chris > Arron > Victoria

[reece(:]

Probably benedict

[Redway]

Benedict. He was the only one who could stop the house from descending into tedious mediocrity and childish tit for tats.

But Benedict > Lydia > Chris > Aaron > Victoria.

As stupid as Aaron is, he was so stupid that in a way he was entertaining. Victoria just seemed attention-seeking and had to resort to quite literally getting saucy in a bathtub to make the public notice her. It doesn't work.

[Kate!]

Benedict.

[reece(:]

I loved them all so I'd easily swap them for some of the current HMs

[Black Dagger]

All bar Arron should still be in the house IMO... I felt they were robbed, disgusting they're out when you have Conor, Ashleigh, Shiev, Caroline and Luke S swanning around like bellends.

[armand.kay]

Victoria. Because I have got to know all the other so if they returned it would ruin it for me( Like when Nikki went back in). So putting Victoria back in would be better for me because I would not know what to expect.

[Munchkins]

I wouldn't bring one back..
But i'd have Lydia in as a guest for a few days :P

[joeysteele]

It would be none, not even Arron, I don't agree to bringing back housemates that the public have taken the time to and spend money on doing so, as to the eviction of housemates.

[Mystic Mock]

Crimson Chris, he never should have gone in the second week, and also just to piss Caroline and Becky off.

[Scotty07]

Don't want any back but voted Benedict. Much as I love this series, it's such a shame that Chris, Benedict and Lydia are no longer there when the likes of Ashleigh, Shievonne, Sara and Luke S are all still in there cruising towards the final.

That doesn't really stand up to a vote to save. If you voted for the other person, your money wasn't wasted - they're still in the house (unless they've since been evicted the 2nd time around).

I do think if they put hm's back in, it's one thing that should be done like the US show, but it would destroy BOTS and all the other post-show publicity. Pretty much every year on BBUS, about a month in, there's an audience vote or an evictees only competition to put someone back into the house, but all of the evicted hm's to that point are kept sequestered in a hotel or rented house. They have no tv, news, internet, contact with non-show people, and more importantly, no post-show interviews with anyone not directly affiliated with the show (they'd get the Brian interview, but nothing after that). After the vote/comp, all the ones who don't get back in get to go home, do interviews with the media, etc.

Not true - it's only happened 4 times in 13 seasons.

And to answer this thread's question, I voted Lydia But I'd only want her in as a guest for 3-4 days. Evicted housemates shouldn't return as proper housemates, imo.

I don't go with all that, sorry, people voting to save,some are likely voting and spending more to save housemates especially when more than 2 are up for eviction.
All that time and money spent does not in any way negate the fact that the evicted housemate has been evicted by the public, is therefore at that point the one who got the least time and money spent on them by the public, whereby they get evicted.

To save a housemate/s the public are actually spending more to save their favourites and get the one they least like out.

If the house was full of evicted housemates, that the public felt unable to support strongly,it could well be that very little revenue would then be generated for BB and Channel 5 too.

As to your point as to bbbots being ruined, well that would a good thing for me if their role was diminished greatly, I would rather have another hours of highlights or live feed for an hour than bbbots this series and Emma's biased audiences and pannellists who I think half the time don't even watch the show anyway,just bits so they can appear to make an informed comment.

[lostalex]

oh it's hard to pick!! so many great housemates have been put out.

It's between Chris, Benedict, and Lydia for me.

I'm gonna go with Chris just because there seems to be no editing process between his mouth and his brain. He's very impulsive.

[Marc]

Benedict probably to pee off Caroline

[Marc]

Or Lydia, only as long as she gets people to vote tactically

[MeMyselfAndI]

Lydia>Benedict>Chris>>Victoria>>>>>Arron

[Scream]

Lydia is a popular little rascal!

[matie2011]

Benedict purely for his exit, and too rub more salt into Luke S wounds !
