Craig, Glyn & Victor all have a claim to being the biggest characters in their given seasons, and I really don't see how anyone could say Glyn
wasn't in his. I definitely hope all three will eventually make their way in.

I dont think Glyn was the biggest character of BB7...he may have gotten the most camera time and the most funny soundbytes, but I think Aisleyne was definitely
the most dynamic big character of the season. When I think back on that season I may think about a few funny things Glyn did, but mostly I think of all
Aisleyne's huge moments in the house.
I havent voted for Glyn only because I dont think he is on the same level as Aisleyne, Nikki or Grace. |

I think Glyn was another in a long line of manufactured characters. BB gave viewers strict instructions to love Glyn and marvel at such moments as learning how
to boil water, and laugh in condescension as he went on about Wales. Ais was a much bigger and more charismatic personality, but BB loathed her, so she
didn't get the same treatment.
What I remember most about Glyn was the awful way he was towards Suzie, who had little time for his bullshit even though she cleaned up the vomit from his boozing. I have many more Imogen memories than Glyn memories. |

People had their reasons to hate Aisleyne. I found her to be background material half the time, even near the end. I also would go from liking her greatly to
hating her immensely. I still can't forgive the way she treated Lea & Nikki after she was nominated. It's no editing trick when you act like a
total psycho bitch.

I don't think the show ever treated her the same way they treated most of the others. If they had, then Ais would have been seen as much less of a martyr figure and probably would have left earlier. |

I agree that BB really couldnt stand Ais, and I cant for the life of me figure out why because she was such an intriguing character. Maybe because she came in
and called out Sezer right away? I really dont get it. Maybe she wasnt enough of the "ghetto princess" that she was in her VT and they wanted that?
Perhaps.
To me Glyn was just comedy relief, I know everyone said he went on a huge journey and stuff, but I didnt see it. He learned to boil an egg and that he should wear dogtags and that is a huge journey? He definitely had some great comedy moments, but a dynamic character he is not. |

Yeah when push comes to shove (a typical date night in SoA's world) Ais is the character of BB7 for me. Glyn's a close second but is there for comic
relief more than anything else. There's not a shred of doubt that she changed the most from start to finish and in a positive way. Glyn was tainted by his
worship of Grace.

Word on the street (aka DS and other boards) is that New York and Sister Patterson are wanted for CBB, take it with a grain of salt but that would be fucking
amazing!

Well if you watch all of BB7 you'll def get to see him naked a lot. A lot more than my stomach could handle.

Glyn was tainted by his worship of Grace.? Glyn nominated Grace the first opportunity he had. I know he later befriended her but...I don't think he worshipped her by any stretch of the imagination. I personally think Aisleyne and Glyn are both great characters. But I actually prefer Glyn in hindsight because I think he literally did go through a huge transformation on the show, an unprecedented one really. Just watch the first week and you'll see a shy, tentative, ESL boy who struggles to find his place in the group, his comfort level, his humor, everything. But he evolves so well and ends up being really confident with himself. The "life skills" stuff was just funny. But it's in how he changed as a person that really made him a great character. And yeah, Glyn isn't attractive at all to me. Word on the street (aka DS and other boards) is that New York and Sister Patterson are wanted for CBB, take it with a grain of salt but that would be fucking amazing!If you're gonna go trash, you may as well go the most trash you possibly can stand. And that's the bottom of the rotten barrel right there. Imagine Whitney Houston, New York, and Sister Patterson. My god, black women would be in physical danger across UK after that triumvirate of evil. |

I know he later befriended her but...I don't think he worshipped her by any stretch of the imagination.He was always defensive of her towards the end of her stay and after. He was pretty much the only person happy to see her when she came for her b-day visit to the main hosue. He even defended WaterGate (funny how that works with the actual original term but in a different way  ).

He even defended WaterGateWell even I defended WaterGate to a point. Lord knows Susie had no reason for actually nominating Grace other than knowing the public wanted her to do that. The fact that BB gave her that much power was really stilted and one of the more producer-interventioned points of the series. I mean, don't get me wrong, Grace was still awful trash during her stay on that show. But she really should have been in there a little longer. God, imagine the awesomeness that could have caused. |

I only made it to Nikki's eviction in BB7, then I got mad and quit. I don't know if Aisleyne started being great after, but from what I remember seeing
she was either boring or a bitch. I never saw a positive side, but like I said I don't know what happened post-nikki.

I really believe BB7 was the perfect season. The casting was great, the tasks were fun to watch, there was enough drama but not so much that it got tedious.
There was love, friendship, falling outs, twists. You saw so many people actually go on a journey in the house and that was great to watch. I don't think
anything will ever top that series for me. It was my first full series I watched so maybe that has something to do with it but I thought it was the perfect mix
of drama and fun. I watch the series best bits all the time just for fun.

^^ I think the fact it was your first season def has something to do with it being your favorite. I think its a very very good season, but it cant match season
6 or 3 for pure greatness. Its on the same level with seasons 9 & 1.
I think the tiers go Top tier: BB6, BB3 Next tier: BB9, BB1, BB7 Middle tier: BB2, BB5 Bottom tier: BB8, BB4 (Though I actually liked a lot of the people on BB8, not a single person on BB5 was likable in any real way. And dont anyone try to say the middle people like Dan, Vanessa and Shell, blech.) |

I liked Dan :) Helped that he was big ol' gay but I liked his attitude.
and yeah I'd agree with you on the tiers though I'd add 7 to the top. |
