In just a couple of hours, around thirty waving lunatics are going to be pelvic-thrusting their way into the Big Brother house.
We are going absolutely bananas with anticipation. Who will these people be? Will they be as pretty as the Northern lass from last year who immediately announced that she would never show another human being her breasts as she entered the house, then pretty much left with them both just hanging out? Or will they be more like the Scottish ballet guy who spat at people? We just don’t know. We just don’t know.
What we do know, however, is that some housemates are totally unforgettable. Remember these guys…
1. Tom McDermott, Series One
Famous for his strong Irish glare, Tom literally said nothing during his stint in the house. He demanded food by simply grabbing it from people’s hands, and it was only when a late afternoon massage gave him a full erection that we realised that he was an emotional character after all. He is a qualified brick layer.
2. Elizabeth Woodcock, Series Two
Not one to shout for attention, Elizabeth liked to communicate in just thin lipped smiles, or the occasional half-yawn. She once threw caution to the wind and explained to Dean that she thought sex was like a heightened form of communication. Cameras presumably cut away as Dean snorted at her, before dashing off to tell the others.
3. Lee Davey, Series Three
Lee was a gym member, who loved exercising so much that he’d had a Nike swoosh tattooed on his arm. Or his leg. One of the two. He spent most of the show asking girls what kind of sex they enjoyed, only with all the expression of a robot explaining that you must pay attention, a vehicle is reversing.
4. Steph Coldicott, Series Four
Where would series four have been without Steph? A small, brown haired thing, she was great. She used to wash things, and eat stuff. Sometimes she looked in the fridge, sometimes she didn’t look in the fridge. She was unpredictable, that Steph.
5. Vanessa Nimmo, Series Five
A softly spoken South African woman, Vanessa spent the notorious FIGHT NIGHT sitting quietly in another room, possibly reading a book. When she wasn’t alone in rooms, she could be found next to her best friend, Shell, simply nodding at whatever Shell just said.
6. Vanessa Layton-McIntosh, Series Six
Yes, another Vanessa. This time one who managed to go on strike for a whole fifty days before getting evicted. What did her strike involve? Not doing anything at all at any point. She was magnificent at it.
7. George Askew, Series Seven
George left it for around a week, before he gingerly stepped into Big Brother‘s office to ask if he could go home now please. His impact on the house simply couldn’t be measured. Mikey missed him. Mikey missed him a bit.
8. Kara-Louise Horne, Series Eight
Everyone’s always going on about Brian Belo when they talk about Big Brother 8, but what about Kara-Louise huh? You know, Kara-Louise? The one with the two-tone fringe bit and the frightened eyes. What about her?
9. Dale Howard, Series Nine
Dale made just one mistake, and that was demanding to sexually approach any woman that got in his way during his pre-show interview. But, once in the house, he wasn’t a terrifying sexual predator at all. He was just a boy, staring into space, allowing his tongue to droop gently from his mouth.
