The results

[Steven]

I can't believe Kenzie didn't win. I thought the teenie vote was unstoppable...

[dirtypop]

'Lets reward druggies' was the main lesson I learned from tonight

What a piece of shit, Kenzie was a legend.

With money for their chosen charities and chronic insomnia Bez's victory really make's the junkie lifestyle seem more glamorous than I could ever have imagined it.

[Robbing the Dead]

I extensively watched the show, yet failed to see Bez's appeal.

[si]

Fucking Bez?

It has to be the Nadia backlash.

I'd rather John've won.

[trollte]

I'm very pleased Bez won. I had a bet on him from Day 2, and I can now collect my winnings.

I loved how Jackie looked like she didn't have a clue what was going on. We LOVE Jackie!

I also loved Davina gesturing to Caprice to kiss her arse... brilliant!

Well done crowd for boo-ing Lisa in her very odd dress.

[Storm]

Awww - I fel sorry for Lisa. I like her.

Jackie is an icon of our times though. She is utterly hilarious.

I really liked Lisa too.

But then I love bossy people.

And for goodness sake everyone get her name right. It's Brackie!

I don't get Bez winning at all. I have watched this program with an open ish mind. I liked Happy Mondays, I had nothing but good feelings about Bez, but he disgusted me.
I saw a thug: a druggy, barely intelligible man. He said and did nothing that amused or entertained me. He was unpleasant to look at, and his wildly off balance character seemed threatening.
The British public though saw him and thought "winner"?

did her husband gave her a brain transplant with scooby doo?

Yikes Brackie!

He's like one of these drunk guys you meet in a pub and you just want him to leave you alone and stop babbling.

He should be in a clinic, not being glorified. He's a shitty role model, I didn't like him when he went into the house and I don't like him now. He's only going to give the cash to his dealer (hence the comment to Davina that the prize money has 'gotten him out of financial shit' then wouldn't elaberate. Buying cars, my arse.)

And he's probably only giving the money to the tsunami aid because there's probably plants to make his drugs that grow in Thailand and there's now a shortage of his reason for living. He probably hasn't heard of any other charities either.

It Britons want to give cash to drug addicts, they should donate it to clinics, at least it would be helping those who want to get out of that state.

And as for his input to the show, I saw him swearing, I saw him getting violent, I saw him try to string sentences together were were incoherent, and that's about all I remember. Even if he wasn't a junkie, what the fuck did that loser do to win?!

I reckon it was all these folk trying to recapture their youth in the 80's, when they weren't settled and married and could get off their heads and sleep with anything that's going, and Bez emodied all of that.

So? The nature of popularity contests is that stupid people make stupid decisions based on prejudice and inexplicable preference. To me Bez seemed to be a nice enough if none too bright guy with some problems. Which if not a great character makes him a damn sight better than many of the people in the house. Aside from Germaine they were all pretty worthless people, so what does it matter who won?

"Nice enough" for what? Honestly I would find it really quite alarming to spend any time at all with him, he seems so damaged. And apart from his misguided and patronising defence of Brackie he did nothing to suggest anything "nice" about himself at all.

I love Germaine and wanted her to win. When she left I stopped caring who won. However, it is a curious thing; Jeremy is handsome, articulate and amusing, and yet the papers have labelled him " Dull." He would be the only housemate apart from the wonderous Germaine that I would care to spend any time with at all. I can't see how folk see him and think " Dull" and see Bez and think "winner."
I think it's probably because he's middle class, and ooh, that's not good eh?

[trollte]

I don't think Big Brother is a popularity contest any more. I think it's a "who suffers the most and puts up with it contest". Jeremy didn't suffer at all. Hence he lost.

I really do think the whole mentality of Big Brother has gone to a place I don't like anymore.

Personally, I agree with Che. I thought Bez was a genuine, down-to-earth bloke with problems. I like the fact that he's trying really hard to be a good role model to his kids. The "bad" things he's done clearly play on his conscience and he finds it difficult to reconcile them with being a family man. And he's finding it difficult to stop even though he clearly would like to. I'm quite surprised by the anti-Bez feeling here on lowculture - I think he's trying to help himself and his family out and this was part of it. I'm also surprised by the lynching of "addicts"... I thought people on hear would read beyond the Daily Mail.

I can't believe anyone still likes Jeremy after this. Ok six pack aside, what a bloody twat. First of all he was a bully and a right evil bastard to jaquie. She may have been a pain but I would've slapped him if he acted like that in front of me. Secondly there was the S Club incident, where he told Kenzie it was okay to say he toured with S Club, he didnt mind it (Despite Blazing Squad having obviously NEVER toured with S Club) and then telling everyone else he "didn't want to talk about it" which was even more hysterical when Bez and Bridgette asked what 'Rebecca' Stephens is doing these days. Jeremy wasn't just dull, but a bit of a bully and an arogant "i'm so good looking" type. Thats why he didnt have a chance of winning.

I've gone right off it, I've never liked any of the winners, apart from Brian at the time, who from what I've read is a right twunt. All going well I won't even be in the UK for half of BB6 so I can save myself the usual unpacking of my emotional suitcase.

I like the fact that he's trying really hard to be a good role model to his kids.

What, by taking them to festivals before they reach puberty, and showing he can't last a day without drink if he hasn't got access to drugs?

The "bad" things he's done clearly play on his conscience and he finds it difficult to reconcile them with being a family man. And he's finding it difficult to stop even though he clearly would like to.

What has he done to show he wishes he wasn't on drugs, and would like to stop? By saying he thinks drugs should be legalised? By having almost died, then signed himself out of hospital to go to someone dodgy's house for a massive hit?

I'm quite surprised by the anti-Bez feeling here on lowculture - I think he's trying to help himself and his family out and this was part of it. I'm also surprised by the lynching of "addicts"... I thought people on hear would read beyond the Daily Mail.

I hate the Daily Mail. If addicts want to waste their health and their money and swim in their own sick and shite, that's their own problem. My issue is the message that it's lead to him becoming a national hero and his addiction has somehow been glorified.
