Feature: Big Brother's Worst Housemates
Published Friday, Jul 17 2009, 06:52 BST | By Alex Fletcher | 14 comments
Even Big Brother's producers must surely admit that they've made mistakes down the years. Aside from the obvious Shilpagate controversies, they have been known to give some dreadfully boring people a ticket to sit on their backsides for ten weeks. They've also thrown us some truly distasteful buffoons who have fully deserved their eviction boos/public flogging. Keep reading below to find our personal list of the worst ever housemates.
5. Gos (Big Brother 4)
It's alleged that the reason Big Brother started implementing wake-up alarms in the house was all thanks to Gos. Spending the majority of the series belly-up on a bean bag or chatting inanely with eventual winner Cameron, Gos proved to have the personality of a Tesco carrier bag. Managing to remain in the house for a number of weeks due to his cookery skills, the public got rid of him at the first opportunity in Week 6. Evicted to no crowd due to a bomb scare, it was all the chef really deserved.
4. Suzie (Big Brother 7)
The 'Golden Ticket' Kit Kat winner in 2006, who desperately wanted to get on Big Brother so much that her husband reportedly bought her 60 boxes of the chocolate snack and bid £4,000 for a ticket on eBay. This outrageous dedication was not matched by entertainment in the house as she spent the majority of her time toiling away cleaning, cooking and doing very little to make us care two jots about what happened to her after her eviction. Her only plus point was that she annoyed posho Grace Adams-Short, who chucked water on her after being told of her eviction.
3. Maysoon (Big Brother 9)
There have been plenty of female contestants who have slipped through the producers' net in recent years purely for being good-looking, but Maysoon took the biscuit. The highlight of her 26-day stint amounted to taking part in a paper bag ripping competition and she even suffered the indignity of being called "dull" and "indecisive" by neanderthal duo Dale and Stuart. Her aim was to change the public's perception of models, but probably ended up setting them back about 15 years. She didn't even have the decency to wait for an eviction, walking out without so much as a whimper on Day 56. Did she just do it all for some magazine modelling deals? Probably.
2. Carole (Big Brother 8)
Carole dominated and arguably ruined the entirety of Big Brother 8, making it one of the weakest series in the show's history. She smothered the other housemates, ruined the tasks (namely 'Fake Week') and started crying like a baby whenever anyone challenged her behaviour. She took the likes of Ziggy and Liam under her wing to ensure she would avoid eviction, behaved terribly to one of the few interesting contestants (Gerry), and somehow managed to make it all the way to the flipping final. Aged 54, she should have provided an interesting dynamic to the house, but her sole contribution was to keep the housemates clean and fed (with her horrible cooking).
1.Sezer (Big Brother 7)
The worst housemate of all time, without much argument, must surely be Sezer Yurtseven from Big Brother 7. The stock broker and property developer from London strutted around the compound, oozing arrogance and cockiness from his pores. He bitched, bullied and seemed certain in his own head that he was a winner. Others may have been more boring and some may have been more irritating, but no one has ever matched the former boxer for being a complete and utter plank. His face on eviction night when Davina read his name, having presumed the UK's female population would save him, is still probably the most priceless moment in the show's history.

Aww, I loved Carole! I thought she was a very interesting and even likable character. Big Brother 8 gets a bad wrap, but I don't think it was all that bad. It wasn't one of the best series ever, but it wasn't the worst, either. I quite liked Suzie too, if only because she was so mumsy and real. Maysoon is probably the most forgettable housemate, having spent as much time in the house as she actually did. I can't even remember one thing that Gos did or said other than be evicted. But Sezer does take the cake. That man is absolutely horrible. You all hit the nail on the head right there.

Saskia!!! She was a bully and a little prejudiced towards her housemates of ethnic origin.

Totally agree on Maysoon and Gos. Susie I found hilarious, loved her dry wit but not everyone has the same sense of humour, I think I might have found Susie dull too if I hadn't found her funny. Sezer is 1 of my faves ever but I'm biased as I know him. He has good basic values and tried hard but his emotions got the better of him - I think his intentions were usually good, he was often trying to stand up for someone. He was intelligent and interesting when he remembered to switch his brain on. Carole was 1 of the best in bb8 for me, I found her manipulation of the house much more interesting than the twins' squealing, Charley's arguments, Brian's Shakespearean bewilderment and the nauseating Chiggy. I don't like to be mean about Jade now but I thoroughly disliked her in bb3 and particularly CBB5 - she was a nasty, aggressive bully (and made very uncomfortable watching) but to her credit she did seem to learn from that, not everyone would. George bb7 - what was the point? Orlaith bb7 - nice boobs as we saw on numerous occasions but what else was there? Charley - she had volume but she never seemed to have a point to make and as she said, she wasn't being funny, right. Kara-Louise - really lovely girl but not at all interesting to watch, she was either laughing, crying, flirting with ziggy (ewwwww) or silent. Kris - And you think Sezer's arrogant! Sezer could see why the public didn't like him, Kris said we were all 'uncool' and 'on glue'. Also didn't really have the intelligence to manipulate the house properly. Dale - like he was a bit dull like. Also some earlier hms I didn't like but they didn't seem as bad somehow. Also I think I've got more than 5 already!

Rex, a total arrogant person. Very disrespectful and was very annoying. But it did make good tv when he argued, but other than that, he spent too much time lazing around or sleeping.

Surely the worst housemate of all time must be Alexandra for threatening people's very existence!

Surely Alexandra from last years BB is the worst. Compeletly arguing with everyone over the slightest thing such as Mo dressing in drag, Becky cooking something wrong. Then to top it all off with making death threats to the fellow housemates. Also where are the vile duo of Saskia and Maxwell? Both racist, egotistic and vile who started on every housemate and created a racial divide almost. That is the worst housemate ever to enter the house. Susie wasn't that bad, and in fact was one of the more interesting ones of BB7.

It has to be Stuart from BB2 for me. The most loathsome, smug, arrogant creep ever to appear in any BB. A vile excuse for a man.
