BBUK7 Housemates Pt 4:
- Jennie: At first I thought she was the least interesting of the HND mates, but she held her own in a few arguments once she got in there. As I said she kinda reminded me a little of like a mix of Bonnie and Lisa kindof archetype in the house. She also struggled a little with how her friendship with Pete was being viewed ala Imogen and Mikey when she had a bf on the outside, and being a housemate that made it to the Final, but also at times feeling a little bit out of place than if she’d been there from earlier perhaps (although this was debated a little on Big Brian and BBLB/Big Mouth as well), She also had that air of having some lash out moments but at the same time being mature for her age in other instances. She also had some good friendships with some of the other HND mates and Aisleyne as kindof a big sister although there were times that was a bit rocky as well. She seems to have gone back to the regular normality out of the spotlight after too.
- Richard: I thought he was an interesting anchor point for the house, in a similar but different way to Roberto and Derek last season. whilst also having some fun friendships with Lea, Susie and later Pete and a few of the others. Like those before though some of this also came off to some as perhaps having a bit of a game plan or strategy. I did think he could’ve handled some things like the initial stoush with Imogen and later Michael a little better (maybe could’ve been a bit of a learning moment for him), but otherwise he was enjoyable to watch (Some of his diary room entries and nominations were funny, some a bit bitchy but at the same time not in a a particularly harsh/mean way IYKWIM) and I was happy to see him get to the end. It looks like he did some more stuff in radio afterwards.
- Aisleyne: By the end of the season I would’ve liked to see her pull off the win as well I thought. She had a big journey in the show coming in slightly late but becoming a big part of the core cast as well as being interlinked in some of the big twists, going from being a bit of a ‘Ghetto Princess’ of sorts as seen by the public, to going through the HND experience, and the Paranoia about Pete from Nikki and Lea, to clashing with Spiral, and Grace, and learning a bit about herself along the way as well. She also went from a lot of divided public opinion, and she still had a bit of insecurity and stuff about herself by the finale sometimes getting really overemotional about things, but she moved up in the odds to second favourite to win too. She’s also apparently been in the public eye a fair bit here and there after the show, and will make some more appearances on side shows and the like later. I also saw a bit of her recent interview responding to the Russell Brand accusations last year, she seemed to carry herself pretty well.
