As the saying goes hindsight is 20/20 vision. If we knew then what we know now maybe she wouldn't have been voted the winner. However, we also don't know how the '15 minutes of fame' would have affected the other housemates so it is impossible to judge in retrospect. IMO Josie won because she was very funny, very natural and had no apparent unpleasant side to her character. She was a worthy winner given the competition at the time.

Ah, don't worry WT, you realise now that's the main thing I didn't like her from the start even though I came from ten mins away from where she lived, I even talk a bit like her

She was the best of the remaining housemates after the quadruple eviction - but that wasn't hard!

BB played on the love story crap with JJJ and the quadruple eviction in order for her to win.

Corin should have won.

Still bitter

God knows why Josie won. I watched her on the LF daily, and found nothing redeeming about her.

I thought she was an awful winner. The worst actually. This forum was so divided it was scary.

I never watched the last week. I was so disgusted by the final week twist and free pass.

I have always actively ignored her in the media since her series but what I hear on here from ex fans whenever Josie threads crop up is pretty shocking.

God knows. She seemed to manipulate everyone in the house. If Josie didnt like someone nobody liked them. I saw through her from very early on. Sadly not enough other people did. Fair play to her, she won.

Ah yes, Rachel the teacher who had never heard of albinism and preferred grapes to chocolate.

I never got the Josie thing and her showmance with JJ was the most boring relationship in BB history.

I actually thought that awful monk was going to win......none of his creepiness (he made Callum look like an angel) was shown on BB HLs.......only his 'funny' side......made me shiver......

I have to say she looks wierd with that weight loss - like her head is too big for her neck.

I wonder if she still sucks her thumb?

Worst winner ever.

There was more to her then ....
*innocent face*

I think that had to be the biggest most bizarre white-washes ever. He was physically violent after drinking real alcohol, and still got the "so funny and wacky drunk on god" edit.

Best blowey PEJ ever got.

She won because it was fixed, she got a free pass to the final.

Because whenever she felt sad she thought about the woman who had her face ripped of by a chimpanzee - hilarious

Those of us who still pop into the 'court' thread to discuss Josie's post BB antics get a lot of stick for being 'obsessed' with her. Which is understandable, I suppose. The thing is, she's a FASCINATING study in post-BB and the manipulation that goes on to make z-list stars out of some of these people. There's very little to like with ole Jose. I thought that from about a week in, not a nice woman at all. I'm sad, though, to see her looking as she does now. I always said, and will continue to say, that when she lost just a bit of weight post-Bb she looked great. Very pretty face and lovely eyes. She looks older than I do.

Does that accolade not go to Cameron BB4?

Unpopular view, I know, but I wouldn't have minded seeing Dave win out of the finalists.

If Dave had won, I bet he would have dropped his family and moved to Cancun to live drunk on the Lord's tequila. He was so sleazy.

i hated dave so it was the obvious choice

people saying corin should have won well she wouldnt have left if the public wanted her to win so dont think she would have won anyway

I don't think she would've won, but your reasoning is faulty. She (and Sam and JJ) were evicted in a vote to evict. Had they stayed it would've been a vote to save/win - which can produce totally different outcomes.

yes true i forget it was vte still back then
