Top o' the morning to ya...even though its almost evening but hopefully you get the idea.

So my immense pride in my own lazyness and procrastination led me to put this off for a while but I have no decided to launch this competition for its 4th consecutive year where we...The Wonderful Digital Spy BB Forum Members vote to crown our Greatest Ever Housemate.

So a bit of background on this, its different from the awesome Yohinchild's ranking game or Connor's game. This is where during the qualifying rounds we break it down series by series to find the favourites from each particular series before they all compete in a Single Elimination knockout round.

What I do is list the housemates from each series (Doing 1 series per day) and all you do is rank your top three.

The person you rank top gets 3 points,
Second place gets 2 points
Third place gets 1 point

(For example on BB1 it could be

Favourite - Craig would get 3 points
2nd Favourite - Anna would get 2 points
3rd Favourite - Nick would get 1 point)

This will cover all Civillian & Celebrity Series of Big Brother & because I believe it had its fair share of viewers also includes Celebrity Hijack For the fact im not sure on how many people watched it I am not including Teen Big Brother. Ultimate Big Brother will also not be included due to the HM's already being represented in their own respective series.

After each day (Voting will close at roughly 7pm each night and the next one posted shortly after) the HM from each series will progress automatically into the Knockout Rounds.

Now up until this past year the knockout rounds featured the top 32 housemates as voted by you. This year however we have 33 unique series in the opening rounds so therefore instead of trying to do something fancy with 33 competitiors...We will have 31 wildcard spots for runners up of series to have 64 HM's in the knockout rounds

When its the top 64 for this year, its a knockout competition. 64 down to 32, moving to 32 down to 16, 16 down to 8 then the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals & Final. The draw is 100% random, one year for example some people were upset about choosing between Gina & Aisylene in the Top 32 I believe. In every knockout round it will always be the winner of match 1 vs the winner of match 2 and so forth so theres no accusations of tampering.

In 2012 Aisleyne Horgan Wallace became the first champion defeating Rachel Rice in the 2012 Grand Final. Lets look at her road to victory

BB7 Housemates
Marcus BB10
Karissa and Kristina CBB9
Deana BB13
Julian Clary CBB10
Rachel BB9

Then in 2013 Rachel Rice came back with a vengence claiming the 2013 crown narrowly (by one vote) defeating BB10 favourite Freddie "Halfwit" Fisher in the grand final. But not only that she also managed to defeat the previous champion Aisleyne eliminating her in the quarter final. Lets look at Rachel's road to victory

All BB9 Housemates
Brigitte Nielsen CBB3
Karissa & Kristina Shannon CBB9
Aisleyne Horgan Wallace BB7 & Julan Clary CBB10 (In a Tripe Threat Match)
Shilpa Shetty CBB5
Freddie Fisher BB10

Then just one little year ago in the 2014 Competition we saw a 3rd unique winner in this competition as BB12 Winner Aaron Allard Morgan became the first male winner of this competition by defeating the 2013 winner and 3 time finalist Rachel Rice in that years final. Lets remind ourselves of Aaron's road to victory.

BB12 Housemates
Kate Lawler (BB3)
Karissa & Kristina (CBB9)
Aisleyne Horgan Wallace (BB7)
Helen Adams (BB2)
Rachel Rice (BB9)

So 3 Different Winners, Rachel Rice however has made it to each years final. Will any of these find victory again or will we continue to name new individual winners...lets start off with the first round where it all began...Big Brother 1

Back when these unknown people entered this unknown house on an unknown show nobody knew what kind of cultural impact the show would have on the media and the viewing public bringing in the era of "Reality Television". Whether its Crais'g win and donating the winnings to his friend who needed and operation, Anna just missing out on the golden prize or of course "Nasty" Nick Bateman for commiting the heinous crime of writing names on a piece of paper (These days it would just get the hot water turned off for a couple of hours)

So was Craig deserving to be the first ever Big Brother winner or should someone else have taken the crown, in ths you really do decide

The Big Brother 1 Housemates Were...

Craig
Nick
Anna
Darren
Mel
Clare
Tom
Nichola
Caroline
Andrew
Sada

Okay so a calm and steady turnout for the BB1 Series but to be honest its been the same every year in this competition. Anna however does find herself as the winner of the BB1 Round with 29 Points moving her onto the Knockout Stages automatically. Nick on 19 points is eligible to be able to qualify for the next round on a Wildcard Spot...Will it be enough? Time will soon tell.

Stay tuned shortly for BB2

Nathan

Yeah, it doesn't seem that long since doing it.

Hope everyone has fun again
