Here’s who Alex Mavroidakis, executive producer of Big Brother, says are the best of the best so far:
1 - Tim Dormer:
“Tim changed the way the Big Brother game is played because he went in there and he absolutely drove our content all day long,” said Mavroidakis.
“I suspect very strongly that he knew that Drew and Jade were a fake couple but he went along with it for the good of the show. I suspect very strongly that he wanted to give Tahan her hair dryer back but he chose the ice cream for the good of the show.
“He was thinking like a producer the whole time and that makes it very, very convenient for us because he would drive our content and he knew when to pull back, he knew where the line was.
“When it was the Tim show he knew that it was the Tim show and when it wasn’t the Tim show he pulled back and let someone else have their dancing space. That was very convenient for us and so he was terrific and a worthy winner.”
2 - Ryan “Fitzy” Fitzgerald:
“He was just so funny and it’s really hard to find someone who is just funny by their very nature,” said Mavroidakis.
“Even when he was crying in the house, having a bad day, he would still be funny. It’s really hard to find that sort of person. He was the star of that show.”
3 - Regina “Reggie” Bird (now Reggie Sorensen):
“Reggie is arguably the most popular housemate we’ve ever had,” said Mavroidakis.
“She was the sort of housemate that you’d die for today because reality television contestants are so savvy in this day and age and the naivety of them coming out of the house with the crowd cheering and they would go ‘oh my god I can’t believe it,’ is kind of gone because they absolutely expect it now.
“Reggie was so naive, was so real, was so genuine and her life changed for the three months that she was in the house. It changed the way she thought about the world.
“It was journey and it’s a horrible cliche but she had a journey in the Big Brother house and she changed as person in front of our eyes and I think almost four million people watched her win which is unheard of in today’s figures. It was an honour to watch that series play out.”
