I don't think you could ever call Anthony dull. You could question his intelligence but I don't think you can accuse him of being dull. He threw himself into everything and seemed to be the life and soul of the party at times.

They both won so I doubt MOST would agree with you. Personally, I can think of far worse winners!
We're not disputing their right to win their individual series though. They obviously received the most votes. We're debating who was the dullest out of all the winners. When these type of discussions happen the same names tend to pop up. |

Obviously it is entirely subjective. I found Anthony dull because the vacuous 'I'm just here to have a laugh' attitude never interests me. What moral doubts did he ever wrestle with? What did he learn? What complicated emotions did he show? None, nothing and none. So he is of no interest to me, any more than Josie, of whom the same applies, is.

I've always thought Kate was quite dull for a winner. She never really captured my attention during her series.

I think he coped well under extremely difficult circumstances. Craig was sexually harassing him and at times it ruined Anthony's experience. It was a very difficult situation to deal with.

Not on here. On these forums, she has A LOT more people who like her than dislike her.
She was a sweet girl and seemed completely genuine. 'Interesting' doesn't mean likeable though and vice versa. I like Rachel a lot, but found Rex, who was surely less likeable, a more interesting person. And Aaron was imo more interesting than BB10 Sophie, though I liked her more. Luke was the first winner ever I have found both very likeable and fascinating as a personality. |

I think Rachel was a nice person but I still think she was one of the dullest winners. |

Oh Rachel is always massively popular on here.

I don't think it's a matter of who you like or dislike. The question is who was the dullest winner.

One of the things I remember about Luke A was his loathing of the other Luke, and for no apparent reason, other than jealousy, perhaps.

Why do you think he won? I am happy to offer a fair explanation for any winner that does not involve abusing either them or their supporters. I wonder if you can do the same?
His schtick was "acceptance" so if I had to give a reason as to why he won,I guess people were into that. I didn't care one way or the other. I'm not being mean btw,just honest. |

1) Josie... that series became "duvet watch", and her never ending periods drove me nuts.
2) Rachel... yes she was nice, but I think Rex was right in the stark contrast between her audition and the real her... even she knew she was too boring to get on without pretending she was crazy/ fun. 3) Luke A... I hate that it became all about his acceptance, I got so far down the acceptance road that I didn't give a fig about his *journey* anymore and just wanted him to get off the ruddy bench and do something even slightly entertaining. 4) Josie again because she was so awful she deserves 2 spots, one for appearing, and one for not going away. Her stints on the spin offs showed she was still as boring, but now considered herself funny.

Because someone won doesn't mean they were hugely popular. It just means they received more votes than the other housemates, from the people who actually bothered to vote.
Only a small minority of viewers actually pick up the phone and vote. To win the show you only need around 20% of the vote, maybe even less. There's usually about six in the final. It's possible the winner received less than 25% of the total votes made and possibly less than 1% of the total viewership. |

He was fantastic on launch night!
That is up there as one of the greatest ever episodes. He had me in stitches. |

I think Josie and Cameron and Anthony were genuine and at least participated. |

Craig and Rachel won by the smallest percentage, Josie by the biggest. That really doesn't mean that Josie's victory is worth more than anyone elses, just that she had an easier final line up, Quote:
Also take into account multiple votes.

Yes Rachel and Luke-clear winners in the dull stakes.

In what? Josie was surely the most idle winner ever. Craig also spent half his time in the house in bed. Cameron did not join in half the social activities because he was not comfortable with them. I don't think Anthony ever had an interesting conversation from day one to the final night. Pete hid from every argument. Sophie refused to nominate when she felt like it. Brian Belo is perhaps the only winner to have participated with 100% enthusiasm in everything.

Anthony gets a pass because Craig saved him by being creepy, and his having to sit and listen to Eugene's epic tales was hilarious. |
