I didn't know who he was before the show and I totally forgot who he was after. He brought next to nothing to his series beyond the dreary bromance (done now). I fail to see what else he has to offer. For a show which has brought us memorable housemates like Perez, Lee , Jim Davidson, Luisa, Pete Burns, Lauren Harries, is this really the best they could do? We're we gagging to see Austin again? An all-star? Best of the best? Don't think so and how depressing.

A LIE. lauren gave so many golden moments ie; spilling orange juice over herself, her force feeding courtney pills, her being caught out by carol for not flushing the toilet, dropping carol in it during her argument with sophie, all the times she fell over, getting a hairbrush stuck in danielle's hair and then just blaming the brush and meabing courtney to sort it out. that's not even mentioning all her songs etc. i think she's a classic british eccentric and she is the housemate i want back the most. i would rather watch a house full of lauren's then a house of full of katie hopkins'.

I've watched every series from day one, I'd totally forgotten him, even Googled him and that didn't jog my memory.

They shouldn't have asked him. He managed to be both annoying and boring.

I take it he was the only available one from his series? They could have asked Farrah instead. She was the most controversial/interesting one.

You have to remember, CBB's definition of a celebrity isn't really in keeping with everyone else on the planets, so its fair to assume their definition of a Gold star celebrity is going to be just as baffling.

Over the likes of Callum Best, Coleen Nolan - who provided almost nothing to the series

He is only remembered because of his friendship with James, without him he's nothing.

Lauren deserves to come back based on the Lauren Harries Remix they made for BBOTS alone.

i'm sure Austin will go in and after a quick look on his social media he is desperate for attention. The recent 'article' about him working out half naked in a Manchester park is so cringe. He is so boastful in his posts as well. I just can't see his appeal at all.

Lucky I didn't watch the Gary Busy one. And you are right it wasn't that good. I actually liked the civilian BB better in 2015/16.

In order:

CBB16 UK vs USA (Summer 2015)- 1.9m average
CBB18 (Summer 2016) + CBB14 (Summer 2014)- 2.1m

Those 3 are the lowest 3 raters.

Top 3 raters:

CBB15 (Winter 2015)- 3.09m
CBB13 (Winter 2014)- 3.07m
CBB17 (Winter 2016) + CBB11 (Winter 2013)- 2.82m

So CBB15 is highest rated series and CBB16 the lowest.

CBB16 had a similar theme to this one coming up, I don't think this winter will reach anywhere near the heights of the previous 4 winter series. I don't think it'll even touch CBB19's 2.6m.

I don't see the need to put both him and James Jordan if I had it my way neither would go in but both kind of fit the same role in the house two of them is too much !

The fact he was runner-up (along with Colleen) means he's fair casting. Just really unimaginative since they already have James Jordan to do the same thing.

Of the line-up:
GREAT: Speidi, Jedward - both the biggest characters of their years (the worst two CBBs funnily enough but it wasn't really their fault).
DECENT: James Jordan,
FAIR BUT DULL: Colleen, Austin - made it far and had some decent rivalries but were not very interesting in their own right
POINTLESS: Callum - the only pointless seat-filler finalist in the lineup
FILLER: Jasmine Waltz, Nicola Mclean - do they just want a showmance?

They're never going to be able to get their dream lineup (even ignoring Pete Burns being dead, there's tonnes of people who won't do it again without crazy salaries, or are just not interested). I wish they'd switched the Callum/Colleen/Austin group with some of the more interesting early evictees, even if they deserve it less.
