So, its been one great series!
We have had tears, laughs, arguments, love, twists... and custard creams.

Big Brother 9 begin with a lot of expectation after the show was rested from Channel 4. As usual, its had its fair share of criticism and praise, but in my opinion, this series has beat my expectations.

It began on launch night, with 16 housemates, the arrogant chef, the high flying single parent, the chatterbox girl from the valleys, the wacky blind man, the popstar wannabe, the couple, the dancer, the cookie monster... the list goes on.

Over the last 13 weeks more have joined them, and 12 pf the originals have gone. Bringing us to tonight. The final.

Its been one of the most unpredictable final nights we have had in years, no one is sure who will steal the crown and 100k this year. Who do I want to take it? All of them have provided us with some kind of entertainment of the last 13 weeks, so I can honestly say any of them deserve the money, especially Rachell or Sara

So, out of the five left, what do I think of them?

Darnell - At one stage he was one of my favourites. Throughout the series he has been funny, musical and a hopeless romantic. However, he has also been a paranoid bully at times, and for this, I don't feel he is the most deserving.

Mikey - I hated him at first, and I have to admit I still cant stand the way he talks. But he has grown in to the series, and grown in to my memory, as Kat would call him, in to a 'HIRRARIOUS' housemate. Where would the food world be without him and his chili?

Rachel - She is honestly one of the most kind, caring and genuine females to walk through those famous two doors. Throughout the series she has shown real care for her other housemates, and hasn't allowed herself to be brought down by the criticism she receives. In terms of kindness, she is a deserving winner. In terms of entertainment, I am not so sure.

Rex - Rex, Rex, Rex, the housemate who has divided the nation. Whether you love him or hate him, you have to admit he has provided us with lots of entertainment. From the fights with Nicole, to the teasing of Rachel, this arrogant chef has guaranteed us entertainment.

Sara - I am so glad she is here, as honestly she deserves it. Throughout this season she has given us the eye candy, the fun, the arguments and the flirting we need. I think she has played a pivotal role in showing out the different sides of housemates, and I think she deserves to win tonight. Yes, she may already have 25,000, but whats another 100,000?

So there it is, my final thoughts on Big Brother 2008. Thanks to the moderators and admin of this site who have let us discuss the show, and thanks to Big Brother, Endemol, Channel 4 and the housemates who gave us the entertainment.

As always, who wins?
We decide!

In terms of entertainment, I am not so sure.

As for Rachel not being entertaining? Well I agree kinda, but she does have her moments, like when she fell over last night:

Can you at least get her name right if all your going to do is quote a piece of text about her and add ''Rachel to win''?

It was only a typo, and Jackie could quote what she likes.
Your thoughts?

I never said she cant quote what she likes, but i can also quote what I like and give MY opinion, as long as I dont insult her, which i didint.

My thoughts? That it was a nice read and its good to see people putting effort in to their posts like that.

Good post

I find it very hard to choose a winner for tonight.

Sara - Has annoyed me, made me cringe, but I also like her when she's not trying so hard.
Rachel - Didn't make a great deal of impact on me until a lot of the larger (and more unpleasent) characters left, but I don't think her kind heart and relentless goodness is something to be mocked or doubted, she hasn't been the most entertaining but I still think I would like her to win, goodness should be rewarded in life.
Rex - I have both enjoyed and hated. He has his kind moments, mostly overwelmed by his unkind ones. It took me a long time to see that sarcasm is his version of humour but sometimes, a lot of the time, it cuts too close to the bone and is uncomfortable. I do mostly like him but for these reasons I don't think he deserves to win, plus he hardly needs the money does he?
Darnel - I like him inspite of himself, he has provided a lot of the entertainment in the house, but he needs to learn not to be so self focused and show a litlle more empathy for others. I think he has almost consiously sabotaged himself.
Mikey - For most of the series I couldn't stand him, his voice drove me nuts, his table manners are appalling (blindness is no excuse), and he can be crude and somewhat pervy. Having said all that, he has also grown on me, he is honest, stands up for what he believes in and has truely enjoyed the big brother experience for what it is, rather than an end goal.

I don't think any of them will come out to the reception Lisa had, I think all of them will receive some boos in with the cheers but I'm mostly happy with the final five and am looking forward to tonight whatever happens, I kind of like that it is unpredictable. I will miss it when it's over.
