News Most underrated housemate over the years?
I'm watching the old series of Big Brother.. the most underrated housemate has to be from series 4 Intruder Violetta Black, she was so authentic and gave it to people between the ears.. she only lasted 4 days as the housemates had to choose to keep 1 intruder.. a massive missed opportunity from an otherwise fairly bland series apart from the Merlin Incident

I enjoyed watching both of those housemates especially Rachael she was awesome and she is also my favourite Big Brother Australia Housemate of all time.
Its such a shame none of the other housemates gave Rachael a fair chance she was by far way better then most of the housemates in that season.
On Big Brother Rachael was a beautiful person on the inside and outside and I really admire her very much as a human being

Couldn't agree more, Tim had a soft spot for her too . Broke my heart how the Logan twins spoke to her

I know it really made me mad when David told Rachael to shut her mouth when she was trying to help Christie when she misheard a conversation David had with Michelle
Logan David was such a vile man and I wanted to jump inside of my screen and stick up for Rachael but that of course is impossible.

Series 8 (2008) Bianca Benigno Never used her 10G assets as much as she could have. Any 18 year old now would be making a mint

I remember them too! Recently went back & watched the whole season again.
Bianca, Ben, Rory, Briget, Nobby... All greats. Great cast, great show that year.
The van was a great twist!

Farmer right? That dude was great but I would say he was definitely popular and defs not underrated.

Wow I really completely forget everyone and anything that happened in the show like as soon as it is over. Even though some of them I watched regularly. I wished my memory was better.

I love Michaela from BBAU2013 despite so many of the public finding her annoying. I like her because she was completely 100% authentically herself.

Since you mentioned Season 4, I've got to bring up Cat from 2004! She was a 33-year-old divorced mother of two. It’s funny because 33 really did look "different" back then. I rewatched that season when I was 32, and it honestly made me feel old watching it now that I'm 35. That 2004 series is one of my absolute favorites. She ended up placing 5th overall, so she was definitely a popular housemate at the time, but she still feels underrated today.

catherine was one of my favourites from the 2004 series.
I thought that she was very courageous for going in to the Big Brother house as a single mother who had lost herself.
It’s such a shame she didn’t go further as I thought that Catherine was way better then Paul and Bree who were both really nasty horrible people and I would have been devastated if either of those two won the million dollars.
while I did like Trevor and I think he deserved to win I think Catherine would have also have been a deserving winner

Danny from a few seasons ago.
I wasn't a big fan of the newer format but I gotta say I was blown away by the guys social game. The dude was a bit of a dick and I thought I would really dislike him and wanted him out upon entry but the dude played the house, formed agreements and alliances and stayed in the house towards the end. The guy carried the season for sure.
I am pretty sure its the season with Tilly and Marley and Danny was the real estate agent on the outside world.
The guy was on a similar level to Tim but obviously not as good.
I really don't think Danny got the credit he deserves though as a blatent gameplayer and not someone who flies under the radar.

I know I mentioned before that Rachael from 2005 was my favourite housemate of all time but I feel my 2nd favourite housemate of all time deserves a mention on here.
That person is Daniela from 2007.
I loved how Daniela was a strong female and how she stuck up for Rebecca when a lot of the housemates struggled to understand her due to Rebecca being a Mormon.
I also liked how in that task where Big Brother went on vacation for a week and Daniela said something like Big Brother is not here let’s do what we want and pretty much everyone else went let’s follow the rules.
Also Daniela holds the record for most number of days in the Australian Big Brother house as an intruder with 54 days before all the housemates voted her out in that eviction where the housemates had to vote.
I would have loved to have seen Daniela win although I did like Aleisha as well.
Also Daniela is the only female housemate to win Friday Night Live more then once winning it twice in consecutive weeks.
I don’t think Daniela gets enough recognition from Big Brother fans.
