UBB: Brian Dowling Wins Ultimate Big Brother

Day 94: Brian Dowling was crowned the Ultimate Big Brother housemate with 49.21% of the vote, as Nikki Grahame became runner-up in the very final night of the reality programme.

Brain was shocked at the announcement from Davina McCall saying, "Oh my God!" as he hugged Nikki. Most housemates and polls had predicted that Brian would win, with Davina telling viewers after the phone lines had closed, that Brian Dowling was her favourite housemate of all time. Davina told him that she wanted to see the Irish winner on TV - Brian told her that her people should call his people!

Nikki Grahame proved popular with the crowd and with viewers after gaining 30.28% of the public vote to finish a respectable second place in Ultimate Big Brother.

BB11: Big Brother Final

Day 77: Josie Gibson was crowned the winner of Big Brother 11, with an impressive 77.5% of the public vote. Winning a £100,000, Josie told Davina she would give £20,000 to charity. She became one of the greatest housemates ever as she entertained the nation with her straight talking and simple ways. Viewers became addicted to the relationship between Josie and John James as it grew over the summer, although at times the relationship became quite fiery!

Crowds cheered as she was interviewed by Davina McCall, who told her she was beautiful on the inside and outside. John James was on hand to hug and kiss her before she re-entered the house for Ultimate Big Brother.

Who would have thought Dave could have finished second in BB11? Normally the religious housemates are annoying but Dave managed to win the housemates over and us with his weird and wonderful ways. Talking about the glory didn't put us off as we got to know the Welshman more and more. He proved he was up for a laugh and didn't shirk away from the tasks set by Big Brother. With 9.1% of the public vote, Dave was able to leave the house with his head held high - he did himself proud.

Mario entered the Big Brother house as a mole and left BB11 in third place, after having a roller coaster journey during his 77 days in the house. No other housemate had so many highs and lows as Mario and no other housemate got so naked as Mario. He received 5.1% of the vote and Davina asked him if he was really a nudist at heart after discussing his large left testicle. Mario said that he wasn't a nudist and he was shocked Big Brother showed his nude stunts.

JJ finished fourth on 4.5% of the public vote, just ahead of Andrew. He entered the house on Day 45 after being picked by the other housemates, as one of three new housemates. He quickly became friends with John James and caught the eye of Corin, but things turned sour very quickly between JJ and Corin.


Andrew came fifth with just 3.9% of the public vote and was greeted by the cheering crowd and a warm smile. The geek proved to be a winner in the house after arriving on Day 31 and coming out of his shell to become a great housemate to watch as he gave 100% during each task.

BB11 POLL: Four Housemates Eviction Prediction

Day 70: According to YOUR votes in the Big Brother Poll, it looks like one time bookies favourite Steve will be evicted on Friday. In the early days Steve looked like a certain winner with the public and the housemates. Yet 70 days is a very long time on Big Brother, and like a yo-yo, housemates popularity goes up and down.

It looks like Steve could be evicted on Friday along with Dave and Andrew, but it is Mario who has dropped the most in popularity. After entering the house as a Mole, Mario quickly became the favourite housemate but in recent weeks the public and housemates noticed his mood swings had become wider. According to latest votes, Mario has the least number of votes to win BB11 and most likely for eviction.

You still have time to vote for YOUR winner of BB11 in our Big Brother Poll at the top of this page.

BB11 POLL: Who Do You Want To Win Big Brother 11?

Day 69: Hundreds of you have already voted in our poll to find out who YOU want to win Big Brother 11. At the moment it is virtually neck and neck between Sam Pepper and Josie as just a few votes separate the pair. They have double the votes of John James, who is currently third place with one time favourite Corin in fourth and JJ is in 5th place.

If your voting is correct, then it looks like Mario, Andrew, Dave and Steve could be leaving the BB11 house on Friday during the quadruple eviction. The housemates still have a few days to win over fans and viewers and save themselves from eviction. The winner will win £100,000 and remain in the BB11 house for the 'Ultimate Big Brother' final, completing with former BB contestants.

CBB7: Could Jonas Win Celebrity Big Brother?

Day 27: The final of Celebrity Big Brother is set to be the closest EVER as each finalist has an army of fans voting for them. But could Basshunter Jonas Altberg become the surprise winner later tonight? The 25 year-old has proved a MASSIVE hit with the ladies, with constant press coverage about his sex life outside the house and his flirting with Katia inside the house.

Jonas was never shy about getting naked or dressing up in whatever Big Brother asked of him, even Stephen got him too parade around like a catwalk model in his tight pants. So while the bookies predict Jonas could finish fourth, his female fans may be able to change all of that. Judging by the loud cheers he gets when his name is mentioned on Eviction Night, Jonas could once again go all the way!

Tune in from 20:30 to find out how Jonas does in the CBB7 final.

CBB7: Why Stephanie Should Win Big Brother

Day 27: Did you ever think Stephanie Beacham would last the duration inside the Celebrity Big Brother house? No? Neither did I, yet Stephanie has provided us with huge amounts of entertainment and laughs over the past four weeks. She might be posh but this lady knows how to have fun (most of the time - we'll forgive her for not wearing the animal costume 'for health reasons'!).

She is the only female left in the male dominated house and that should be enough reason to win CBB7, another reason for winning could be for her willingness to join in and take part during the show. Who can forget her role in Celebrity Last Legs, where both Ivana and herself 'cared' for the retired housemates? Getting covered in cake TWICE and yet still laughing about it shows the kind of nature Stephanie has. Many times she was the female voice of reason within the Big Brother house.

At the same time, true to her Dynasty role - Steph could be a bit of a bitch. Those early morning cups of tea with Vinnie proved a breeding ground to bitch, and who could forget her nomination of Ivana? A bitch she may be, but a lovable one at that, Stephanie has made for great viewing and every woman in the land owes her a vote!

Find out how Stephanie does in the CBB7 Final from 20:30 on Channel 4 tonight.

CBB7: Why Vinnie WILL Win Celebrity Big Brother

As the end of Celebrity Big Brother approaches bookies and pundits have been speculating who will become the final winner of CBB7. In the first two weeks Vinnie Jones was the undisputed clear favourite to win, then events changed and the eviction of Sisqo proved a turning point.

This week Dane, Nicola and now Alex have favourites to win the show, but I think the public will vote Vinnie as the winner on Friday. My reasoning is this: The final show will attract many more viewers than a typical CBB7 broadcast, so many will be unaware of Vinnie's actions inside the Big Brother house. He will get their votes to win and also the votes from those who previously wanted him to win but swapped sides to Alex or Dane.

The Tree of Temptation Task will show a more human Vinnie and that will warm the heart of the voting public. at the end of the day, they will vote for Vinnie to win because he is the bigger character. While I didn't want him to become the winner (I always go against the norm!), I do think he'll win IF he doesn't put a foot wrong between now and Friday night!

BB10: Day 93 - Sophie Wins Big Brother 10

It turned into the perfect ending to Big Brother 10 as Sophie won with 74% of the public vote, emerging from the Big Brother house as the deserved winner as she went head to head with Siavash. Sophie looked shocked and amazed when Davina McCall told her the news.

During the interview Davina asked Sophie about her relationship with Kris, to which Sophie replied she would need to speak to Kris. But she did reveal that the couple did NOT have sex while in the house.

Siavash came second and was struggling to get his words out due to a sore throat, and he publicly apologised about his behaviour with Noirin and the effects on his 'girlfriend'.

David surprised everyone by finishing third and came out to some boos but he proved himself a winner by surviving against all odds, lavishing praise upon his best friend in the house - Lisa.

Charlie ended up fourth place and seemed like a kid in a sweet shop as he excitedly chatted non-stop with Davina about his time in the house.

Rodrigo was a surprising fifth place but was genuinely happy to be part of the Big Brother experience and felt very British, even wearing a Union Jack belt!

The POLL has now closed and you have selected who you want to win Big Brother 10. Sophie had been trailing all week behind Rodrigo and Charlie, and then went head to head with Siavash, before finally beating all the lads to become YOUR winner of BB10.

Poor David trailed in last place with just 2% of the vote and Charlie slipped to fourth place with 14% of the vote after viewers saw him become stroppy about the Beyonce Task. Rodrigo and Siavash ended up being joint second after a late surge of vote for Siavash. Sophie is also the bookies favourite to win the final of Big Brother 10 tonight, but this could turn out to be a close result as the top four in the POLL are all popular with viewers.
