Hey everyone, it's Karl from Big Brother's Big Archive once again.

With the finales of both Strictly Come Dancing and The Apprentice this weekend, we officially come to the end of the Reality TV year, and with that it also gives us a chance to reflect on what the genre has presented us with over the past twelve months, from the sublime, ridiculous, idiotic all the way to the downright frustrating. In 2014 Big Brother's Big Archive celebrated this by dedicating the Christmas Special of the show to an awards show chronicling our best and worst of reality TV, and we found the show to be so enjoyable we decided to repeat the process again this year.

The four members of the team (Karl Dutton, Mitchell, Paul and myself) were all asked to choose one nominee each for a respective category, and live on the show argue our case for each before deciding on a winner, ten categories took place overall, ranging from:

-Moment of the year
-WTF of the year
-Best Male
-Best Female
-Worst Male
-Worst Female
-Dumbass of the year
-Surprise package of the year
-Disappointment of the year
-Worst Production decision/ twist of the year

We hope to have the episode uploaded by Sunday evening (I have X Mas shopping and a shift on community radio to do) but until then I will reveal the nominees from each of us, before you listen to what our ultimate decision was.

Hope you can join in, and hope you enjoy the show when it arrives
