I forgot to post this snippet of an article I read on news.com.au the other day. The title is "Our biggest on-screen baddies: Can a villain ever win a reality TV show?"
Can you recall any villains who have taken out a reality TV show? Has it been done before?
Even though it appears the author hasn't watched too many reality shows or else they'd know the answer, BB was mentioned and I had a good chuckle. Yes I adore Tahan so maybe I'm suffering from a bit of bias but this still seems like an inaccurate portrayal of what went down, especially when you include the live feeds. And wtf strategic voting did Tahan do to earn her the title of the Queen of it?!:
"2) Last year’s season of
Big Brother delivered many frontrunners to play the role of resident baddie — Tully Smyth, who was cheating on her girlfriend with housemate Drew, the cunning Tim Dormer, who went on to be crowned the winner for 2013 — but it was brunette beauty Tahan who was the real villain.
The third place finisher spent her days in the house relentlessly tormenting the ‘Sugar Sisters’ Katie and Lucy, breaking Big Brother’s house rules and warring with Jade.
But despite being Queen of the strategic voting, ultimately she wasn’t able to outwit Tim Dormer to claim the $250,000 cash prize."
I also cracked up when someone mentioned Ben '12 in the comments (maybe someone from here?!):
Are you kidding me? The biggest villain in the history of Big Brother won just two years ago: Benjamin Norris. He spent the entire time in the house bitching, bullying and ridiculing housemates around him right up until the very last day. Tahan looked like an angel compared to him. He only won because of an excellent social media campaign ran by both his family and evicted housemates who obsessed over him. He was the very definition of evil and him winning was one of the darkest moments in Australian reality TV history, teaching children that if you try your best to belittle those around you because they're different, Australia will reward you with $250,000 for it.
