I've recently rewatched CBB4 again and I quite like him, bar his treatment of Jodie Marsh.

He was a brilliant housemate in his era apart from like you said his treatment of Jodie marsh .
However in this era he would not have lasted very long

I thought he was a fantastic and engaging housemate.

He was an arse, same as he is the rest of the time.

One of my favourite CBB HMs ever. I loved him and Pete Burns, the odd couple who got on surprisingly well. Both intelligent, sharp-witted, and articulate. I loved their late-night conversations. Those were the days.

Well he's quite genuine I think as he's the same whether he's on telly, on radio or in the House of Commons.......a complete so and so.

He could be a bit abrasive, if not down right nasty at times but his cat role play with Rula, will go down as one of the most memorable wtf moments in BB history. Legend!

He was an absolutely FANTASTIC! housemate to watch. But as grown man the way he acted in there was appauling! The way 1) he acted on Fight night, being in such a huff about not being able to vote, when it was his own fault for breaking rules, 2) the way he went on about Chantelle and Preston in the bankers task, enjoying the free food, he was like a baby. That being said though in my opinion he was one of the best Housemates ever, he could put up a fantastic argument, he wasn't one to be quiet about his opinions causing many a dramatic moment. And most of all as lulu g said his odd couple friendship with Pete and their attacks on Jodie, and Preston, Chantelle, Michael etc, may have been over the top but it was absolutely fantastic tv, and gave for me the best big brother series ever. He also threw himself into every task, fair play to him, how can we ever forget 'Let me be the cat!', his robotics dancing with Pete conveying bewilderment over a dog not coming to them , he was a seriously super housemate!

LOL yes the cat moment is just one of the most baffling moments in reality TV history, no one has ever been able to perfectly translate it into words how best to describe it. Just as you say WTF?!

I agree totally with that!

Poor me, poor me, pour me a drink

Can't fault him.

Don't think it enhanced even his political reputation.

That much I do agree with.

I like him and I thought he was good on the show - but I thought at the time it was not a good idea and I think that seemed to be the case later.

Would you like me to be the cat?

I seem to remember at the time, he said he did it, to get his political message across but BB edited it all out. So either BB lied to him, to get him in the house or George is telling porkies.

I like him as I said - but you do not go on CBB to get a political message across !

And I am sure he know that.

*shudders & goes off to bleach brain of that hideous image*

Well I most admit that if he wanted to get his political message across that was not the best move he ever made !

Brilliant TV at the time and fair play to him, back in those days he was totally up for it (as were most of them) and gave it his all. We'll never see the like again (of that series and not just 'the cat' lol).

That said, I thought he was an odious man at many points...and I'll never forget him bowing and scraping to Jimmy Savile (as disturbing with what we know now as Barrymore's absolutely petrified look) and why - along with the nastiness, I can't rewatch.

A hugely entertaining HM of his time, often for all the wrong reasons, back when CBB (or BB in general) was a proper show.

Nasty, vindictive bully.
