X Factor - Which contestants WILL Have A Career?

X Factor - Which Contestants WILL Have A Career?

Whether you love it or hate, nearly every year we hear about at least one contestant, whether it be for their outstanding talent, their live show cock up, or for the novelty of their act. Despite this, a selection of contestants do actually continue on to have a genuine career. Those who still enjoy success include One Direction, Olly Murs and Little Mix, but will any of this years contestants savour the same success as these?

Brattavio

To be fair for a joke act, i didn't actually mind them. They were funny and entertaining, and i wouldn't have minded seeing them advance a bit further then 12th.

Facing the facts, these guys will not have a music career, as they just weren't that good at singing. Despite this, they are rumoured to be appearing in the upcoming series of Celebrity Big brother and they will be TV GOLD on it if the rumours are true.

Freddy Parker

I didn't really care much for Freddy to be honest, but i did find the way he sat in front of a piano for many of his performances quite restricting, he was stuck to the seat, and couldn't dazzle the crowd with any moves.

Apart from a few media appearances alongside best buddy Matt, i can't see him having much of a career.

Relley C

It's a shame that Relley C got the boot over 4 Of Diamonds, as I think she had a lot more to offer. I couldn't find her first audition video on YouTube, which implies that it wasn't aired, showing how little faith the producers had in Relley C.

I think (and secretly hope) Relley will do a holiday park tour, and release a few singles, but nothing that will scrape the charts and really make an impact on the music scene.

Gifty Louise

This girl brought sass and swag to this series, but was sadly given an awful song on Fright Night that no one would have known unless you were a fan of Hotel Transylvania 2 where it as used on the soundtrack.

Overall Gifty's exit was a shock to many, with some people thinking she could even have won the show, including gifty, who was not happy to be eliminated.

I can see an independent record being released in the USA, but nothing to taint the UK charts.

5 Of Diamonds

The group that were brought back after another group were removed from the series really didn't fit together properly in my opinion, and the fact that they made it to the tour is beyond me.

Mark my words, they won't last a month longer after the tour, either going on an infinite hiatus, or having a massive public feud for the lolz and vowing never to sing together again.

Sam Lavery

A better Singer than Ryan? Yes. Good enough for the final? probably not, but we'll never know, as Sam was given the boot in week 6.

The richness and rawness of Sam's voice is definitely enough for her to make a name for herself in the industry, but it's just a concern of whether she will be signed by a label.

Ryan Lawrie

Scottish boy Ryan came 6th on the X Factor, 2 places behind "girlfriend" Emily Middlemas

I think Ryan has a little bit of growing up to do before he's ready for a serious music career, after publicly feuding with Liberty X star Michelle Heaton, claiming "he has a bigger fanbase than her".

Honey G

Let's just all bow down to the absolute queen of X Factor 2016, Honey G. Honey G slayed all the way to the end, putting on show after show, always getting better and giving the fans the performance they want.

The woman behind Honey G, Anna Georgette Gilford is an absolute genius, as she has seen a gap in the music scene, and filled it, just dancing on the borderline of being a joke act and a serious act. 

Whether you like her or not, Honey G will reach "world domination" and has already got her first single out, which is a fair start not even a month after X Factor.

Emily Middlemas

Emily Middlemas reached past the middle of the pack, scoring forth place in the competition.

As important as it is for a singer to have their own style, when you are on the X Factor, it's important to stand out, and actually preform to the theme chosen for the week. Every. Single. Week. Emily. Sang. A. Slow. Song, and it soon got boring. I can't see a career for her, but prehaps she could team up with Ryan, and do something like Same Difference.

5 After Midnight

After reaching the final, 5 after midnight were beaten to final 2 by Saara and Matt.

Any other year i think they could have come either second or first, but the competition was tough this year, as these guys are great performers, and multi-talented, but they were just not singing up to the standards of Saara and Matt. 

I think a good career is in the future for them, and most likely a duet with clean bandit once again.

Saara Aalto

The Finnish queen was 100% ROBBED in the final, after slaying week after week, surviving 3 times in the bottom 3/2.

Already a huge star in her home country Finland, after placing second on both the Voice Finland and Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu. Saara Aalto has a HUGE career ahead of her after signing a joint record deal with Sony Music UK and Sony Music Finland.

Matt Terry

Matt Terry snatched victory in the final, winning after a stellar performance of Sam Smith's "Writing's On The Wall". 

Unfortunately for the him, the winners song is nothing special and will make no long lasting effect to his career. Saying that, Matt has expressed interest in being a judge on next years edition of the X Factor, Hopefully replacing Nicole Scherzinger.

Other than that, he just appears to be another Sam Smith, or James Arthur, not really offering anymore than what they have given to the music industry.

Junior Eurovision - Fab or Fail?

Junior Eurovision - Fab Or Fail?

It has been 2 weeks since Valletta played host to Europe's favourite singing contest, but the fans are split as to whether it was a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

The show was opened by the classic flag parade, in which each country participating is announced, and the representatives commerce on stage, typically to the theme of the contest, which for this year was "Embrace", by Destiny Chukunyere. The organisation for the flag parade was not good, with 3 or 4 of the contestants walking up with their flags, and awkwardly dancing in the middle of the stage, as the camera pans out, putting more focus onto the stage design rather than the contestants. The flag parade also seemed a lot longer than normal, and I ended up loosing focus.

Next up were the postcards, where, from what I understood, each representative sang a few lines of a song, and was then shown to be doing something they enjoy doing. What was questionable in my opinion were the songs used for each postcard. Typically, the song used for each postcard is pretty much the same, although at times either slowed down,  or re-pitched, depending on the activity in the postcard.

 Each postcard song this year was completely different, and i think was based on what was written after embrace before each postcard EG: Embrace health, Embrace equality or whatever it was.

The theme of the event is "Embrace" on the whole, so I don't think every postcard needed a different kind of "embrace". As well as this, the lip syncing of the embrace song at the beginning of the postcard was misleading and confusing, and left me thinking Zena Donnelly, the first preformer had had a last minute song change.

Some of my favourites of the night included Ireland, Armenia, Belarus, and Cyprus, although the biggest surprise for me of the night was Georgia. If you read my "Top 17 List Of JESC Songs", you would know that Georgia was my least favourite, however after such a stunning performance moved to at least 10th place in my ranking. Despite this, I 100% did not expect a Georgian win, and it seems i wasn't the only one.

It really is tasteless and downright rude to boo a participant or country you do not like at any event, let alone a kids contest. Luckily, Mariam did not take the crowd's hostility to heart, jokingly telling the crowd to "come on!"

Unfortunately we can not ignore the downright abysmal hosting that left a bad taste in the mouths of many fans, who see Ben Camille and Valerie Vella as the Eurovision 2015 (but worse), compared to the Eurovision 2016 Måns and Petra

Let's just start with the hosting itself. A lot of the links and "jokes" were repetitive and unoriginal. They also seemed to forget the were hosting a KIDS programme, not a documentary on the natural history channel, as they were very stiff and appeared to have no energy whatsoever, unlike Polo last year.

A huge facepalm moment occurred when when there were only one set of points left to be revealed, Armenia's, a set of points that would ultimately reveal the winner of the contest. It's a century old trick to delay the reveal of the winner of any contest for as long as possible, in order to build up suspense, and get the biggest possible reaction when the winner is revealed.

Now Valerie must have thought that she and Ben had already majorly messed up pretty much every aspect of hosting, with the constant mistakes and apologies, awful jokes, and robotic style, so why not tick off one more box, and completely ruin the results reveal?

Valerie accidentally revealed that Armenia had gained 110 points from the kids jury far earlier than she was meant to, creating a complete anti climax, as both Ben and Valerie tried to ignore Valerie's career crushing mistake.

Aced it guys..

One thing that saved Junior Eurovision was the winners reprise. Throughout the week, each of the contestants embraced different cultures, different lifestyles, and different friendships all over Europe and Australia, shown in the winners reprise. This is what Eurovision is all about.

Junior Eurovision 2016 - My Top 17

Junior Eurovision 2016 - My Top 17

Finally, it's time for Europe to don their flags and (mini) feather boas, as Junior Eurovision is only 5 days away!

Laat year, my favourite was The Netherlands' Shalisa, who slayed behind her piano with her ballad "Million Lights" (undeservedly) ending 15th. Now, let's go from 17th to 1st of my top 17.

17) Miriam Mamadashvili - Mzeo/მზეო

Don't get me wrong, Miriam's voice definitely packs a punch, hitting every note flawlessly, however, the orchestral hit belongs somewhere in a forgotten Georgian musical, not on the junior eurovision stage. Amongst all of the other ballads this year, this is my least favourite, and i fear that it will be forgotten, even if it does close the show.

16) Netherlands - Kisses - Kisses and Dancin

Again, Stefania, Kymora and Sterre, members of the band Kisses are not to blame, but as a 16 year old, I do find the whole idea of "kisses and dancin" just a tad cringy, despite the song wanting to appeal to my age group. I would understand if the juries, made up of kids and adults were to rank this high, perhaps even high enough to win the contest, but this is not for me.

15) Malta - Christina Magrin - Parachute

Christina's voice feels somewhat misplaced throughout the song for me, and it overall just doesn't sound together to me. The chorus sounds a bit lazy, repeating "you", which we've seen too many times before (i'm looking at you Robin and Amir!). Being the host country however, i do expect this to do well.

14) Armenia - Anahit and Mary - Taber

Taber sounds a bit forced in my opinion, and it looks as if someone has been watching the winning Maltese entry fro last year, with the impressive vocal solo at the beginning coming out of nowhere. The tune of this is modern, but forgettable.

13) Israel - Shir and Tim - Follow My Heart

I'm predicting some classic eurovision cheese on stage Sunday from Shir and Tim. I'm not a hater of "Follow My Heart", but the MIDI sounding instruments are not to my liking, and Shir doesn't appear, in the first rehearsal to have much stage confidence, which damage the performance.

12) Australia - Alexa Curtis - We are

Again, not a hater, i just feel like there are better songs this year. This song appeals to an audience of all ages, meaning it has potential to do well with the juries, whos vote will count for 100% of the score, as there is no televote this year,

11) Bulgaria - Lidia Ganeva - Magical Day/Вълшебен ден

"Magical Day" is a song for kids made by kids. It is authentic, and has a strong beat to it. It will be interesting to see how this one is staged, but i have the feeling a globe will be present..

10) Poland - Olivia Wieczorek Nie Zapomnij/Don't Forget

Another classic Eurovision ballad, with a slight modern twist, with the almost trance dubstep bass and drum accompaniment in the second chorus, enhancing Olivia's powerful pipes. A definite grower for me, with potential to be staging gold.

9) Fiamma Boccia - Cara Mamma/Dear Mom

Oh how cute, a little girl singing a pretty song to her mum!..except you'd expect such incredible vocals to belong to a grown up girl, not a 12 year old. The juries will go mad for this one, and i expect it to reach top 5 with no sweat.

8) FYR Macedonia - Martija Stanojkovic - Love Will Lead Our Way

I bet Martija is the definition of cool back in the Balkans, slaying with her fresh-with-a-hint-of-ethnic pop number. Is this in the charts? If not, it definitely should be, and i think i could be looking at the winner of Junior Eurovision 2016.

7) Serbia - Dunja Jeličić - U La La La/У ла ла ла

I wonder if Dunja has brought her hoverboard along to Valletta? I certainly hope so, because I have a terrible vision of Dunja being forgotten behind FYR Macedonia in the battle for ultimate Summer song of JESC. Dunja's growls add an extra layer to the song, which will hopefully help it to glide up the scoreboard.

6) Ukraine - Sofia Rol - Planet Craves For Love

Controversial, but i'm a sucker for a good ethnic song. A week after I heard it, I found myself humming the chorus, thinking I came up with it myself. A critique I have for this song is that it doesn't really seem to go anywhere, and I understand why it doesn't appeal to most.

5) Ireland - Zena Donnelly - Brice Ar Bhrice

100% a grower for me, as about 5 days ago I would have ranked this about 15th. Last year, Aimee's song sailed across the sea, and this year, Zena's song takes me to the beach. An incredible song to be written by a 14 year old, and puts my 4 chords acoustic messes to shame.

4) Russia - Water Of Life Project - Water Of Life

Do you hear the ethnic flute sound at the start? because i do, and i'm lovin' it; Water of Life Project, aptly named after the song, slay the chorus of this contemporary number, showing pace and control.

3) Klesta Qehaja - Besoj

I can remember watching about 10 minutes of Festivali i Këngës për Fëmijë and just by chance watching Klesta. Unbeknownst to me, she turned out to be the eventual winner, which i was more than pleased about. Although slightly old fashioned, Klesta's pipes never fail to blow me away, though i fear, like "Dambaje", Klesta will be too scripted, and structured on stage.

2) Cyprus - George Michaelides - Dance Floor

Haha, i was ahead of the game of liking "Dance Floor" before George showed off his sick moves in the first rehearsals. The song stands out amongst the ballads and contemporary songs this year, and i'm putting Cyprus down as my dark horse.

1) Alexander Minyonok - Musyka Moih Pobed/Музыка моих побед

You look up the definition of rad in the dictionary, what do you get? A picture of Alexander Minyonok, that's what you get. Not only does Sasha slay the vocals giving a eastern European twang to English words such as "Reggae" and "Country", but he does this whilst gliding seamlessly on a hoverboard. I know already this is going to be ridiculously underrated by the juries, but for me, this song is perfection, and I can hope and pray that we're off to Minsk in 2017.

Jamala 1944 Review

On 21st September 2016 the long anticipated music video to the Eurovision Song Contest winning song "1944" was released. As flawless as the performance on the night of the final was, a high production video to the studio vocals can not be undermined.

The video begins with Jamala in what seemed like a winding tunnel, with people emerging from the white light at the end of the tunnel, possibly from death. This in itself is so precious and symbolic, especially when she sings the line "they kill you all and say we're not guilty".

For me, the moment that made my heart stop was when the beat drops, and we are left with Jamala's stunning vocals over a drone, and all but two are frozen, Jamala and a young girl. I don't personally understand who the other person is who is not frozen.

But that's the point.

The whole song and video is Jamala' s personal family story, and no one but her really knows what this song means for her, and what her family went through. I feel the point of it is for us to interpret it how we feel appropriate, and appreciate and enjoy Jamala's art.

5 Biggest Live TV Blunders Of The 10's

5 Biggest Live TV Blunders Of The 10's

We all know that when you switch on that camera, anything can happen, from stage invasions, script errors and wardrobe malfunctions, and there's no going back. Here's our list of the 5 biggest live TV blunders of the 00's.

The Wrong winner is crowned at the Miss Universe competition 2015

We're diving straight into this, with a truly iconic mistake made by experienced host and producer Steve Harvey, in which he announced Colombian entrant Ariadna Gutiérrez as the winner, when his cue card clearly said that Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines had won.

This catastrophic mistake was only corrected AFTER Ariadna had been crowned and given the winners bouquet, leaving this poor women the job of swapping the bouquets and crowns of Ariadna and Pia. CRINGE!  

Olly Murs announces the X Factor results... Before they're in

In 2015, Simon Cowell trusted Olly Murs, former X Factor contestant, with little to no presenting experience, to present one of the nations most popular TV shows (well, it was..). Doomed from the beginning, viewing figures sunk to an all time low, and just to put the cherry on top, he mistakenly announced that a contestant would be leaving the competition before it had actually been confirmed!

Nick and Simon chose to send Monica home, whilst Cheryl and Rita chose to send Anton, her opposition home, meaning that the vote with then revert to the public vote, the one with the least heading home.

Somehow, don't ask me how, but somehow, Olly managed to miscount the votes by the judges, announcing that Monica would be sent home. Although she did end up being the one with the fewest votes from the public, therefore heading home, Olly Murs stated this just a bit too early, causing one of the most awkward moments on the X Factor UK.

BOTS is taken off air as a fight erupts between panelists/ Chelsea's live eviction plagued with technical difficulties/ Lateysha's twerking fail on BOTS

I've decided to whack 3 together on this one, as they are all from the same program family. Our first error came in 2015 during the summer edition of the series, advertised as "USA VS UK", during an episode of Big Brother's Bit On The Side, in which Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, Farrah Abraham, Vicki Michelle and Jenna Jameson were guests, a fight erupted between Aisleyne and Farrah, after Farrah had referred to Aisleyne as a "hag". Aisleyne then appeared to reach for her glass as if to throw it. Transmission was then cut, and the panel was removed.

Vicki Michelle was reportedly taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Our next fail occurred during a live eviction in the civilian version of this year, in which housemate Chelsea Singh was evicted from the main house, and sent to what was called the "other house", a smaller house where inhabitants were not counted as proper housemates. All seemed to be going well at first, until after the first ad break, where Chelsea was seen entering the house. Fellow "other" Jayne, who knew Chelsea before entering the house then said "Hello Chelsea" before the transmission then cut to ANOTHER ad break, which then began a wave of ad breaks and transmission, with a touch of test card. This pretty much ruined the live episode, as no one had a clue what was going on half the time.

Our last Big Brother blunder is by far the funniest, and happened when Rylan Clark-Neal asked the newly evicted Lateysha Grace how to twerk during Big Brother's Bit On The Side in 2016. It sounds somewhat tame, perhaps a PG, until Lateysha's dress splits right at the crack, showing pretty much her entire behind, bringing the rating up to about 15. Luckily, Lateysha was able to have a laugh about it afterwards, just as we were.

Jimmy Jump stage invades Eurovision

During the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest held in Oslo, Spain's Daniel Diges was unfortunate enough to be the victim of a seriously funny stage invasion during his performance of Algo pequeñito. about a minute into the performance, Jimmy enters the stage and begins copying what the dancers around him were doing. He was then chased off stage by security. He was then fined €2,000 and arrested.

Britain's Got Talent's eggtraordinary egg thrower

Contestants on popular talent show Britain's Got Talent hosts a range of different skills, including sing, dancing, magic and stunts, but some people will try and blag anything off as a talent these days, including egg throwing. The live final of the 2013 edition of BGT was turned on it's head during duo Richard and Adam Johnson's performance, when Natalie Holt, disguised as a member of the orchestra ran forward on the stage and began pelting Simon Cowell with eggs, which provided us with some mega LOLs, as well ads the question - Why?

After the two had finished, Ant and Dec were quick to point out that the egg thrower was not part of the act, even though i'm sure most of us already knew that, because why would two singers have an egg thrower as part of their act?

These are just a few of the many live blunders we've seen throughout the years unfold on our screens, but i'm sure we'll have many more in the future!

Bear - Deserving Winner, Or Fix? #CBBBLOGS

Bear - Deserving Winner, Or Fix? #CBBBLOGS

Once again the summer edition of Celebrity Big Brother is over, and we have a winner. Whether it was chosen by public vote, or by production, I'm going to be deciding whether or not bear is a worthy winner of CBB, and whether CBB is as honest as we think it is. In true journalistic style, i will try to remain unbiased, and look at both sides of the story.

Bear leaves as the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2016

Let's begin by talking about the complete INJUSTICE it is that Bear was not removed for his continually bad and somewhat reckless behavior, which has included damaging the house by throwing a mug at a glass pane, wasting food on numerous occasions, and just generally disobeying rules of the task and Big Brother. In previous years, housemates have been removed for far less major incidents, examples being Daley in 2013, for threatening a housemate, Emma from 2016 for repeatedly escaping and Biggins in the same edition, for something that wasn't even aired.

I'm not excusing the behavior of the housemates i mentioned because obviously threatening someone is not OK, however, what i am saying is that in some of the cases, what they did was only a single or double occurrence, however Bear was given a total of 4 on screen "Final Warnings", as well as a few unaired warnings, which leads to the question: Is Big Brother fixed?

This series has been one of the most insightful into what goes on behind the 1 hour of footage we at home are shown. During "Celebrity Big Brother - Live From The House", housemates were seen going to bed, with Big Brother saying "Good night finalists" The lights then went out for a minute, with housemates pretending to sleep, before the lights switch back on and housemates proceed to get up, with Ricky telling housemates "good take". 

Video of Scripted scene (Source - Metro)

http://metro.co.uk/2016/08/26/watch-is-this-proof-celebrity-big-brother-is-scripted-viewers-left-fuming-over-clip-of-fake-scene-6091907/

Yes, this doesn't prove that the whole series is fake, but it does technically prove that that scene was fake, so who knows what other scenes CBB has faked....

There's also the Whatsapp controversy, in which Chloe Kahn claims to have messaged Renee before entering the house, which kind of defeats the point of Big Brother which is for the celebrities to have no contact with each other prior to entering the house. This was also kind of broken by Lewis and Marnie, which have been photographed with each other prior to the show.

Censorship has also been an issue this series, with many of Bear's other warnings being hidden from viewers, including Bear "nearly blinding" Samantha Fox. The reason why Biggins was removed from the house has also been withheld from the viewers, and also Katie by the looks of it who was unaware that the apparent reason he was removed was because of comments made towards her, which absolutely makes sense (NOT).

The way i see it, Biggins was either only booked in for a week, and they needed a way to get him out, whilst grabbing headlines as well, or, Biggins was bound to win the show, when producers had promised Bear the win, so had to get him out. 

Either way, this really stops Big Brother from being the people's show that so many people love to hate, and rather a scripted, pre-planned reality TV show.

Going back to whether Bear deserved to win, you cant deny that he has provided some good entertainment, my favorite moment of the series being when he smashed a pie into Aubrey's face, prompting her to wreck his bed. I can't deny, without him, the series would have been fairly dull without him, even if he did take things too far.

Saying that, do i think he is a deserving winner? no, no i don't, but these days, a large proportion of people that watch reality shows like Love Island, Ex On The Beach, or Geordie Shore watch Big Brother. The content of these reality shows is for people to get absolutely obliterated, and then either get with whoever is the closest to them, or argue with everyone, which is exactly what Bear did, hence why i think he got the votes. 

That is, if the winner was decided by public vote....

#BBBLOGS - The Housemates: Hit or Miss?

#BBBLOGS - The Housemates: Hit or Miss?

About a month ago Big Brother returned to UK screens. We were promised drama, we were promised entertainment, we were promised there would be "a dark force" taking over the house, but did it really work?

The simple answer to this is no. The series has been a bit of a train wreck, from the fame seeking z listers cast to be on the show, to the ridiculous "other house" concept, we have all been left wondering whether this series really is going to be the death of big brother.

Despite this, I would like to share my thoughts and opinions on every housemate, because what else do I have to do with my life. I have listed my favourites from least favourite to my favourite, and given a reason, much as they would have to in Big Brother.

Marco Pierre White JR

This poor boy's father. This boy been quite a disgrace to himself from day one. Pretty much from the start, he displayed that he has nothing going for him, other that a "hall pass" from his then girlfriend, who has since broken up with him after his antics with Laura, and a bad temper. It was no surprise to anyone but the house that he was first evicted, and to be honest, no one really seems to have missed him..

Natalie Rowe

Just a very angry woman really. She seemed to love the thrill of starting arguments for no reason, and not giving anyone the chance to argue their point of view. Her favourite sparring partners were Hughie and Jayne, but which two of the three are still in the house?

Her exit interview with Emma was beyond awkward, as she remained true to her personality, starting an argument over....yes, you guessed it, nothing!

Georgina Leigh-Cantwell

 It was so, so clear from the start that Georgina was only using Jackson as he was popular with the audience (which he isn't now thanks to her!). She had a good start and she was funny, but she was just too jealous, which was inevitably her downfall.

Jason Burrell

Controversial, I expect, but I just don't think Jason is a nice person. He said a lot of stuff about Charlie to other housemates before she went into the main house, which made the other housemates presume the worst of her. 

Charlie is right when she says the woman always comes off worse. For the first week, he almost seemed to be teasing her, not directly giving her an answer as to whether there is a future for the two of them. He is also the biggest game player in there, and provides little to no entertainment whatsoever.

Andy West

I don't really dislike Andy as I do the previous 4 housemates, I just do not like the way that he can't let go of something. What even was his argument as to why he was offended when Ryan and Hughie pretended to be engaged? He also just seems to be a bit of a moaner, constantly sharing his thoughts and complaints on others in the diary room.

Despite this, he at least does have an IQ, and was very funny at his fake history task.

Alex Cannon

Who is this again?  Oh yes, Alex. Thing is, we've barely seen him, we've only heard his low murmur of a voice. I don't really understand why so many people like him, yes he's got his looks, but he just seems to have very little personality. 

Perhaps he will perk up in the weeks to come, but now, if he were to leave, I don't think it would make much of a difference.

Charlie Doherty

I think Charlie had potential to be a great housemate, but she just couldn't seem to stop her feelings for Jason. I think her best moment was on launch night, when Big Brother forgot to tell her to take her mask off, leaving poking a but of a numpty.

Andrew Tate

Andrew was the only housemate who was actually playing the game smart, suggesting to the others that they put the most popular housemates in th  other house, on the first "eviction". It was however right that he was removed, due to his behaviour outside of the house. 

I think he would of been a great housemate if he was still there, however, he cannot get away with tweeting the things he tweeted, therefore good riddance!

Ryan Ruckledge

On his own, I can't say I like Ryan much. I knew of him from X Factor, when he was booted off for being drunk at bootcamp, and controversially tweeting a few nasty things about Luke A (and not being removed despite Andrew was).

He does provide a lot of entertainment with his Nikki Grahame style tantrums and double act with Hughie, and will probably get to the final.

Jackson Blyton

Gangsta Jackson met a girl called Georgina. Gangsta Jackson got told he wasn't allowed to even look at other girls whilst with Georgina. Gangsta Jackson had a funny tantrum and cried a bit when Georgina left.

Man is getting angry a lot now innit especially over the lickle tings, and perhaps man should cool down a bit.

Chelsea Singh

The self made millionaire is rich, and he's not shy to tell anyone. Chelsea can be very funny, and played the role of CEO of BBCorp well, but is just a little bit too self conceited.

The public seem to hate him, because of the way he treats Jayne, I would guess. I think he is very patronising towards her, and just needs to stop talking about her as if she were some obsessed fan. We all know you both got together, so just admit it Chelse.

Laura Carter

Laura has definitely given me some chuckles, yet everyone still sees her as a bit of a b*tch. I can't forget her "thing" with Marco, although she did believe that they were in an open relationship.

Even so, I would never go with someone asked partner, especially not on live TV.

Sam Giffin

Sam can come up with some great one liners, as well as the unforgettable pink boxers doorknob-hold picture.

He's quite sly with the way he talks about people, choosing only the people he trusts to b*tch to. 

 Jayne Connery

I actually really like diva Jayne, especially when she explodes in the diary room (she just wants bread and tea!)

She's also being very civil to Chelsea despite the way he is treating her. I would love to see her in the final, although I think he will be next out.

Lateysha Grace

She is definitely one of the funniest ones in there, and is almost definitely a finalist already. She does seem to have an opinion on almost Everything, but somehow manages not to get into trouble for b*tching?

Hughie Maughan

Loudmouth Hughie has been entertaining from day one, shouting his way though life in the big brother house. I don't think there's one person in the house he hasn't had an argument with, yet I still like him. 

His bromance (or more?) With Ryan is providing great entertainment, and I'm thinking they're both going or go to the final.

Emma and Victoria Jensen

When Emma and Victoria first when in, they had a lot of energy (although committed a fashion crime with those matching leotards) however, when Victoria chose to leave, Emma got a bit boring. 

Before she was a bit selfish, having an extra night with her boyfriend, I really liked her, as she seemed to be the most calmed person there, not really getting involved in anything, yet remaining true to herself (until she cracked, and broke the door for a second time, leading to her removal)

Evelyn Ellis

Why am I alone here? I think Evelyn is awesome, yet NO ONE else seems to like her! She has some great one liners, and I feel like she  being slightly led on by Alex, who clearly doesn't like, yet will happily snuggle with her. I really want her to make it to the final, but the way things are heading, I don't think she will :(

Who do you like/dislike in the house?
