Victor: 'Big Brother 11 was weak'

Victor branded this year's Big Brother "weak" this afternoon, commenting that Josie would not have been invited to Ultimate Big Brother if she appeared on a series three years ago.

As the housemates were waiting for the Big Brother 'funeral', Ulrika commented that Josie was unlikely to have lasted in the Ultimate Big Brother house when she was used to a peaceful environment with her friends in the eleventh series.

Victor said: "The lineup for me was so weak this year, you knew who was gonna be in the final week by week seven. That’s no slight on Josie."

Brian reminded him that Josie would have been likely to make the final three of Ultimate Big Brother and that she had a vast following outside.

"How much was based on her being the current winner?" Victor answered. "Say if it was two years ago, would Josie be in the final three? I can't say that.

"Before I came in here, I saw the odds and Josie was joint favourite with Brian at one point. I was baffled but then I obviously thought she won this one - [she was] the hot one. As Nick said, if she won it three years ago would she be in this one? I don’t know."

Brian and Victor then listed housemates that could have made an appearance in UBB - naming Brian Belo, Kate Lawler and Alex Sibley as their top three.

"The final five this year was a joke," continued Victor. "Saying that, Josie was the rightful winner."

"There's always one that shines out every year," agreed Brian.

The conversation then moved to Josie's love interest John James.

Victor blasted: "That whole John James thing shows how fickle the country is - he can go on being incredibly nasty to someone and get away with it. If he looked like Dave the monk, would he have survived as many evictions as he did?"
