This series is finally coming to an end and we
say ‘finally’ with more than just a tinge of relief. It’s been quite possibly
one of the worst series in recent years, if not of all time. But that’s not down
to the actual housemates, they’ve been wonderful, they’ve given us quite
literally everything; it’s down to the producers and the constant contrived
twists… (But that’s a whole different article coming soon)
Back to the final. Six housemates are left and
lets face it only a few have an actual chance of winning… one regrettably so.
Here we round up the final six and their chances of winning along with how
very, very wrong our first impressions of this bunch were…
Ash.
Despite a handful of moments where he severely
let himself down, most notably the comments towards Jale on two occasions
(maggot and the pool quip) we like Ash, we really do. We find ourselves
laughing along with his infectious, uncontrollable giggle and he’s one of the
few we think we’d actually be able to live with; willingly.
First Impressions.
“Oh look, a model.
We’ll take him seriously when he has a half decent haircut. Gets by on his
look, is ‘well known’ on the Manchester party scene… by rights we should hate
him, in fact he should scream wannabe! But somehow his laid back, slick
attitude endears him.”
We take back the haircut comment; it grew on us
after about 10 minutes. His laid back, slick attitude definitely did endear us
though. He maintained a relaxed, cool persona apart from when he was ‘shitting
himself’ as the lights dimmed red (which was adorable). Our first impressions
of Ash weren’t too far off.
Winner?
You never know! He’s got an army of fans
including Hollyoaks lovely, Steph Waring, drumming up support for him so it’s
not entirely impossible. Most likely outcome is 4th but after much
deliberation and weighing up he might be our personal winner… controversial.
Ashleigh.
She was fairly anonymous the first few weeks and
when she did come to the forefront it was in a moany double act with Danielle.
But then it all changed. She grew more confident, oozed a composed maturity and
refused to stoop down to Helen’s level of vile nastiness. Every twist went
against her in some form or another and yet she’s still there, head held high.
First Impressions.
“She was just 3,
yes 3, when the first ever BB began! That alone should give us reason to hate
her, add in the fact she’s bloody beautiful and bam! But somehow we don’t,
she’s adorable. Baby of the house couldn’t be sweeter unless she had hundreds
and thousands sprinkled all over her. Not sure that the Northern Irish nipper
can handle the seedy hellhole where dreams die.”
Half and half with first impressions here. She is
incredibly sweet but she also has an inner strength and resilience that meant
she handled that seedy hell hole with grace.
Winner?
She has to win, she just has to. For this series
to not be known as the series that killed Big Brother, good has to overcome
evil. We haven’t always liked Ashleigh but that soon changed once Danielle left
the house. Without sounding like one of ‘those’ people, we actually predicted
she would win before she even entered the house. After reading her housemate
bio in the press pack we uttered the words ‘she’ll win’. Yes only our Mum can
vouch for that and yes it was for very different reasons in which she will win,
but still… we called it.
Chris.
We had high expectations for Chris, we envisaged
a Victor Meldrew type character but that wasn’t quite what we got. He hasn’t
been the most forthright of housemates and that’s perhaps left him looking a
little two faced on occasions, but there is no questioning his loyalty to those
he became close to. His relationship with Ashleigh was endearing, despite those
5 minutes where it got a little creepy and it showed a hugely caring side
Chris.
First Impressions.
“Our polite little
entirely vanilla cupcake of comedy with a NORMAL size ego. That’s because he’s
one of the few who has not walked straight off a catwalk. He’s naturally funny,
a little bit grumpy and has a funny shaped head, what’s not to like?”
Our first impressions were pretty spot on, not
quite as funny as we had hoped and in the way we had hoped but he still had
more wit in his little fingers than most.
Winner?
No. He’s a nice guy and he’s been a good
housemate but for us he’s not winning material. His behaviour towards Pav
really let him down and he hasn’t entertained us in leaps and bounds. He does
however deserve to finish above some.
Christopher.
In the beginning we almost forgot he was there,
housemates such as Pauline and Helen treated him poorly and this put him firmly
back in his shell. After a few weeks his confidence finally grew and he turned
out to be an intelligent, kind, albeit a little odd, nice guy. We grew tired of
the Mark/Christopher shenanigans after about 15 minutes but it did highlight
exactly why someone like Christopher deserves to be in the final over those
like Mark. Honest, genuine, loveable housemate.
First Impressions.
“The
journalistISH, greatness aspirer tears strips off Kim Kardashian devil
worshippers devoid of personality yet has willingly walked into a house filled
to the brim with these superficial spawns of Satan! We don't really get why he
wants to associate with those that repulse him. He’ll either be a saint or
sinner. Seems intelligent and witty enough to deal with the power hungry people
in the house.”
We were fairly wide of the mark in our first
impressions. We assumed he was confident and egotistical and valued his own
self-importance. We couldn’t have been more wrong. Our last line was spot on
though; he dealt with the power hungry like a pro.
Winner?
Not for us. But we couldn’t find fault in those
that do vote him as their winner. He has the traits of a classic Big Brother
champ, he’s had the journey with all the put downs and the personal growth.
Unfortunately for Christopher, Ashleigh has had that similar journey.
Helen.
A pass to the final meant we were stuck with
Helen no matter what, unless she got kicked out of course (which lets face it should
have happened weeks ago) Helen could do and say as she pleased without fear of
facing eviction due to her actions and she certainly took advantage of that.
Looking past the vile, cruel and nasty remarks she’s certainly been a great
housemate, all for the worst possible reasons of course, and it would have been
a very different series without her.
First Impressions.
“The bolshy Bolton
babe seems like a normal lass that we'd actually get on with. It remains to be
seen whether she’ll fall under the normal and bloody boring category or the
normal and we-can-so-relate-she-has-to-win category”
We’re ashamed at how bad our first
impressions were here. Helen would be the last person you’d guess the above was
written about. There’s only one thing we got right, she is normal;
unfortunately. She’s exactly the type of loud mouth, outspoken, excuse for a
person the world is shamefully home to, it’s just normally these people are on
Jeremy Kyle not Big Brother.
Winner?
God we hope not! Momentum has been gathering in
her favour for the past few weeks with certain ex-housemates and the shows
nightly edit spearheading the vote Helen campaign. If she wins it’ll be the
death of Big Brother, the conspiracy theories will prove too obvious to deny
and any lingering hopes of naivety that it’s still a show we can love will be
destroyed.
Pav.
Pointless Pav, bless him. He had a rough time in
the house and none of it was his fault. He played the sympathy card with expert
execution and swerved a couple of evictions where it looked like his fate was
sealed. Somehow he’s made it to the final, we don’t particularly mind that he’s
there but that’s because he sort of feels irrelevant, again, through no fault
of his own. Being thrown in at any point is always tough but with this bunch of
housemates it was all the more difficult, he was always fighting a losing
battle. It’s a shame he wasn’t there from the beginning, his wise and positive
outlook could have really helped in certain situations.
First Impressions.
We didn’t record our first impressions of Pav but
they were mostly based around the word ‘meh’. He seemed nice, intelligent and
that was about it. In his first couple of weeks we wouldn’t have noticed if he’d
gone instead of Biannca but for some reason we developed a little soft spot for
Pav.
Winner?
No. The only way Pav will win is if the voting
public thinks ‘fuck it’. Lets fully rebel against what the powers that be want
to happen, lets really annoy all the housemates that told him he didn’t deserve
to be there, lets vote for Pav. Unlikely.
