Sooo here we are then...

Josiah and I wish to close the series retrospectively as we don't want the Awards Ceremony to go to waste, and Vanessa and the other 7 housemates will get due acknowledgments. Please feel free to post everyone regardless of anything that got aired last night. We should all just move on. Please stay on topic. Thank you.

I'm posting this now as Jake is doing Tibb Strictly this evening so you can read it later if you're not around in the daytime.

Recap.

8 Housemates entered and quickly made themselves at home. We had Vanessa, Jones, Nicky, Maru, Barry, Shauny, Jake and Ray.

There was love, laughter, walkouts and Ray went missing. Ray, we are all missing you and hoping nothing bad has happened. You're in our thoughts.

We only had one eviction and guess what? We brought him back, although only as a short term houseguest. We are very pleased that he came back and took part in winning points for the others. Jake you are a star. Love you.

Tasks came and went, with varying degrees of success.

[Kate!]

Recap continued.....

The housemates stormed the group total contribution points, smashing last years total, ok tbf the game lasted longer and there were more housemates but still a really great achievement. Well done.

With the end in sight, Jake left the house due to work commitments, and the others brought their A game. Campaigns were created and posted. Excellent work. Viewers cast their votes and did the housemates proud.

Jones exited first, and was reunited with his cat. He was very happy to have had the experience and especially bonded with Barry. He did fantastically well to make the final being relatively new.

Nicky was next out of the door and he was extremely gracious to be a runner up. He'd expected to come 4th as he felt the others were more universally loved. Nicky we salute you.

Barry was the 1st Runner Up and was quick to offer congratulations to Vanessa and his other fellow finalists. His first point of call was to the pub with friends and family and Jones.

Vanessa was crowned your winner and how completely befitting that she also became the first ever female to win Tibb BB. She was quite overwhelmed, had a little cry and was rightfully proud of herself. She wants to thank all 7 of her housemates for contributing to her experience with all its highs and lows.

[Kate!]

THANK YOU's

Ammi for judging
Ben for Benjibet contributions
Cherie for addressing the house

All other viewers/voters

James for sorting out the subforum and giving posting permissions to hosts and all 8 housemates.

Kate to Josiah. Thank you for being my rock and hosting partner. If I try to put it all into words I'll be here a week. I love you. Best of luck for the future. Great job.

Ps I will help you if you do it again but only behind the scenes. It's too much for me to co host the whole she bang.

Xxxx

[Josiah.]

Housemates and Kate, thank you for the entire 23 days we endured together.

I am grateful for all of you and the work you put in either as a housemate or as a co-host.

And again, if I hurt any of you housemates with the comments I made in private, I deeply apologise.

But you all made this experience worth while, and I can't thank you enough.
