BB FANS

If you were one of the BB producers and you could go back in time and look at the 16 people who've featured in this series, which 3 would you not pick to enter the house on Day 1? Don't base this just on people you dislike, e.g Makosi and Maxwell have produced several talking points this series, even though I don't like them, so I'd keep them in.
Pick 1 person from one gender and 2 from the other. For me:

1/ Vanessa
Contributed very little indeed and there must have been hundreds of people who'd have made a better go of a chance to be in the BB house than her. I hope Derek was telling the truth when he said how she'd tried to influence nominations, as I never thought she'd be that cunning. Perhaps BB missed a chance to portray someone as a new Nasty Nick! But the fact that was the most interesting thing about her and it was revealed 3 weeks after she left says it all really.

2/ Lesley
I was thinking of saying Orlaith, but I reckon if she had come in on day 1, she would have found 1 or 2 people to get on well with and fitted in better than coming in halfway through when factions had already been formed and she couldn't connect with anyone. As such, I've gone for Lesley as she was just a gobby cow who was going to get voted out at the first opportunity and not really contribute anything except unecessary loudness and big boobs, both of which would have been covered by several other housemates already. A pointless choice.

3/ Hmm...not sure which male to choose...I'm tempted to say Roberto as he was the first male voted out and moaned a lot, so perhaps coming in halfway would have worked out a lot better for him. Perhaps Eugene on the basis that he'd have been eaten alive by people forming alliances through bitching from Day 1, and would have inevitably been a big target from the start. Or maybe Craig as he's highly unwatchable and there was enough bitching and sniping going on in the house without his immense input.
I'll say Eugene as he's come in halfway and is in with a half decent chance of winning, which was unthinkable before, so I'd allow him the opportunity to do that again.

craig- what did they see in him?

its totally lost on me!

Revolting little toad, is Craig, but maybe they wanted that

I'll certainly not forget him, no matter how hard I try

I know we should really be thinking of people to stick in the secret garden, but personally, had I been the producer with the final say, I think this series would have been a lot better without Vanessa, Sam and Maxwell.

Vanessa and Sam were both utterly pointless and Maxwell I'm afraid I found so unpleasant that I had to stop watching until he was booted out. It might have been a lot more interesting to have Kinga in from the start as she would have driven Makosi mad. I don't think Saskia would have been too keen on Orlaith as totty competition and Eugene could have added a bit more balance and maturity to the screaming teenage party that was the first two to three weeks.

I see where you're coming from, but without Maxwell, we wouldn't have had the joy of seeing a man who thought he was a dead cert to win be evicted against someone no-one in the house liked and the subsequent look of disbelief on his face, which for me was the moment of the series

The three people that I would not have picked to go into the house are Vanessa, Sam and Orlaith as I feel that they didn't really make that much an impact in the house.

I think Vanessa, Sam and Lesley were a mistake. These 3 never really contributed much to the house, i can't really remember anything much they did to be honest. Just my view anyway.

I would have ditched...

Orlaith - arguably eye candy...but dull
Sam - (remember her?) great eye candy, but utterly dull
Vanessa - lackey for Makosi, offered nothing.
---

I can't stand Makosi, Craig, or Maxwell...but they were all good characters, and certainly deserved to be in the show.

Cal: shorthand

I don't think BB would have put in 8 men and 5 women from the off though, especially as the girls get voted out right away anyway.

Finchy,
I did like that moment when odious Maxwell was voted off but god I suffered to get to that stage! Strangely I didn't despise Saskia as much at all and actually quite liked her on BBLB!

Vanessa waste of space did absolutley nothing

Orlaith dull didnt contribute much

Makosi the arch villain I would have like to have seen the series without her she has really spoilt the series. We didnt see too much of the others as she manipulated everyone out of the way, mememe. unfortunatley bb allowed it and it became a one sided show the makosi show

Could i just add that this year I do think that at least eight of them are candidates for the funny farm, in different ways the show signs of abnormal behaviour or odd characteristics, or some kind of defect. Next year could they please put in some real people not misfits

Makosi (truly horrid woman!)
Derek (Tory, fox hunting camp tosser!)
Kemal (Go home you stupid little creature)

I'd agree with the Lesley and Vanessa votes and reasons...i'd also go with Derek, he was a great housemate, really devious and funny and different...BUT he did totally influence nominations most weeks, he manipulated people to think certain ways and he caused a lot of people discomfort...i think had he not been in the show would have gone totally different to how it has. He had the biggest impact on the house in my opinion which is why id like to see what the house would have been like without him!

Maxwell
Saskia

Can't think of a third.
