I would personally say someone who is unforgettable, someone like Nikki Graeme.

Unbiased editing and someone who can shine and compel you to vote in their own right...just a funny, good all rounder. Maybe someone like erm...Robbie Williams...

Be still my beating hormones...

Great diary room entries!

Past housemates who I'd call legends were the best at them. Nikki, Jayne, Tiffany, Gina etc.

Someone you like, and not just to follow the crowd according to who BB edits and promotes to be the 'star'.

I think Tiff is the best example for a great HM

I don't think it has to be a huge character even, and it definitely doesn't have to be someone likeable... Just someone who you can't look at other series and see anyone else too similar. Or if there have been other similar characters - only the original would be the legend. E.g. There have been plenty since the switch to C5 who have tried to emulate Aaron but Aaron is the BB legend. Not a likeable guy though.

There have been many Nikki pretenders since but Nikki is the legend.

Rex is a legend as the first proper BB wind-up merchant.

Marcus from BB10 is for me another example for one who was really not likeabld. The Noirin situation was legendary. Snivelling weird guy with a mullet and hilarious karate "skills" who looked like he was having World of Warcraft withdrawal syndrome the whole time. Legend.

****, even spitty Dennis is a BB legend.

Not playing a false character 24/7 to the cameras. i.e. Bear and Jedward.
