I am so excited to see the final later today.
Good luck to Estelle!

.... However, I will miss my daily Big Brother fix so much.

Roll on January!

3rd Place Spoiler

I'm an Aussie and I'm furious.

Winner and Runner Up

Glad I stopped watching after the first month somehow I knew Ben was going to win....

This is really horrible ... one of the worst winners i have ever seen. What is wrong with the voters?

This makes me feel the exact same way I felt about this years BBUK.

Agreed. But your BB is no better! *Cough* Deana and Conor.

Oh I know that, I dislike the BBUK crowd too.
I may just have something against crowds. lol

I just can't believe Ben won what's wrong with the public?

Well crowds are generally bad, mob psychology and everything.

I know - oh well... I won't be auditioning for BBAU next year loool

It's hard to say where the votes for him came from, as I saw mostly dislike for him.

I guess casual voters saw him as their dream gay best friend. But Ben reminds me of the saying 'If you knew everything your friends said about you behind your back then you wouldn't have any friends'.
Ben would be the sort of friend whose comments to you would make you feel paranoid and self-conscious, and his whispering to everyone else would make them uncomfortable around you too. Think I could do without friends like that to be honest.

But oh well, I'm not as gutted as I thought I'd be. He did show signs of not liking his bitchy side, but I hope this victory doesn't make him think that his gossiping is hilarious. No doubt the crowd will though.

May have been a gay vote there for him too, as the first gay winner. Apparently he talked about gay marriage and things like that in there.

Yep - the most entertaining and 'worthy' winner in 3rd, a nice but dull floater in 2nd and a passive-aggressive whiner in 1st

At least Ben's more entertaining than LukeA and the overall final group was stronger but still a grim ending.

I wish Estelle won. I had a little dip with my support of her a couple of weeks ago but by the end I loved her again.

Disappointed with the winner, he was easily the nastiest person in the house throughout the run, even then in the final he couldnt stop it, chucking the horse away as soon as estelle left.

However other than that I enjoyed the series, not as good as the channel 10 ones with friday night live and Gretel, but a decent crop of housemates amongst the eviction fodder, and overall a good series.

He probably thinks his nasty behaviour is funny. Ben said as much when he threw the water at Bradley, that he did it because he was angry but he thought it was funny, too. So immature for a 32 year old man.

I dont think it matters who won to be honest.
Fitzy,Bree,Vesna,and quite a few others are more talked about than the winners of their series.

I wanted Estelle to win to see Zoe and Bens reactions but Estelle came 3rd so she did real good and I am just happy she made it that far after overcoming so much in the house.

I have to disagree about the complaints regarding the crowd,I think they were brilliant apart from the small crowd this week or ruined the nature of the eviction shows..Sonia who I loved has to be much firmer with the audience in future..these few booers are how it started in the UK and they now destroy our eviction shows.

I think CH9 have done an amazing job,I really missed FNL and the supermarket but imho the housemates were the best bunch since BBAU4 .
The show did not get dull,they handled the talking fish gimmick brilliantly,Sonias a good replacement for Gretel,the shows twists worked well and they have without any doubt brought the standard back up in the show to how it was pre BBAU5.

I am loving that the series will be back in 2013 and the only other thing to say is although I liked our last BB I think we once again need to take lessons from BBAUS in making the show positive,fun and exciting.

I thought the only good things about this series was vote to save with a minimum of three up, and maybe three HMs (Estelle, Angie and Ben as a villain). They took some of the worst things from C5 (inferior presenter, no live stream, stupid background HM posing) and took away some more unique things. A cheap and soft effort, the 2nd house twist was half-hearted and most tasks were rehashes or just poor and childish.

Haved loved BB 'stralia will be watching next year
Sorry that Ben won in some ways but hey ho it is okay in many other ways
Hope it survives but think they may have to review the PG rating to keep the audience

I think its only in this country where theres an obsession about having villains.
I dont think any of the housemates come across as villains,they were just honest and open and showed warts n all,I truly am baffled by this desire to see goodies and baddies..it has turned our show into a nasty negative show .

Sonia was a replacement for kyle and jackie O..You think they were better.?
Sonia is a nice person who handles the interviews well enough,her only downfall was not stamping out the few yobs in the crowd over the last week.

Stupid housemate background posing has been with BBAUS for many years,they have them doing things like this since i cant remember when so its nothing new and certainly not copying BBUK.

Cant believe you watched a show you thought so bad for 74 days

You also say it took away unique things yet I say it introduced unique things..The nomination booth,splitting the points system,and things like the captains quarters were similar to BBAUS favourites the HoH quarters but simply minus the power.

Looking forward to next year
a good production compared with channel 5 UK
not bothered about the winner,cant say im surprised

its not Big Brother in its finest form for me without live feed but i must say
i have been entertained and impressed with what i watched
loved the house,housemates and of course Delilah
overall a positive show but it lacks a more adult style for me
but i will give it another go next year
