Big Brother's Time Warp week has already given us three ex-housemates in Helen Wood, Brian Belo and Nikki Grahame - but that wasn't quite enough, so as part of yesterday's shopping task, a whole bunch of other ones popped in for a party.
Yesterday's task demanded that the housemates freeze whenever instructed to do so - and conveniently, that's just when Big Brother decided to send in some familiar faces. But how many do you remember?
First up was Pete Bennett, who swung by the house to try to distract his former flame Nikki Grahame - and it looks like he managed to get her giggling.
But he was far from the only ex-housemate to pop in, as Big Brother 1's Craig Phillips led a whole host of familiar faces in for a bit of a party.
And there were loads of them, too: Jack and Joe, Mark and Matthew,...

In a few short hours, one of six housemates will go down in the Big Brother history books as the 15th winner of the show (alright, so it's not like they'll be studied in schools or anything, but it's something, right?). But where will they fit in the record? Will they be a worthy winner, or a disappointment? Will they be looked back on with glee or with grimaces?
That remains to be seen, but in the meantime we have 14 winners to rank. Who is the best? Who is the worst? We're not going to claim this is definitive - we switched our own minds around about 27 times just while compiling our running order - but take to the comments to give us your views. And so, in order from worst to best, here we go...

Big Brother contestant Sam Evans, a 23-year-old partially deaf Welsh footballer, has been named the early favourite to win after the first show of this year's double launch last night (June 13).
But with a good three months or so still to come and six more housemates going in tonight, should we even bother listening to the bookmakers? Intrigued, Digital Spy went back over the last five years of Big Brother to see how the launch night odds matched up with the eventual results of the series - and found some surprising results...
Big Brother 2012
Launch night favourite: Luke Anderson (5/1)
Eventual finish: Winner
Congratulations bookmakers, last year you got it spot on by naming eventual winner Luke Anderson as the early favourite. But don't go slapping yourselves on the back too soon - reports claimed that the South African-born chef was an outsider at 16/1 before the game-changing revelation that he was born a woman.

When did primetime fluffy Saturday night TV suddenly turn into an evening of music industry A&R mechanics?
At some point over the last decade's long slog of Pop Idols, Britain's Got Talents, Fame Academies and nine series of X Factor, the emphasis switched from light entertainment to record sales.
Watching recent series of X Factor, it's occasionally felt like we were watching a meeting between record execs rather than a glossy family TV spectacle. The fearsome annihilation of cruise ship warbler Christopher Maloney by the producers and judges felt like a tipping point in the show's history as the singer's crime of being 'not very cool' seemed to excuse no-holds barred treatment of the blubbering Liverpudlian.
When the voting results were revealed, it turned out that Maloney had been topping the votes since week one. Despite a hammering from the judges and all the cool credentials of tattooed grumble-guts James Arthur,...

David Hasselhoff recently revealed that he's angry at Stan Lee and Marvel for replacing him as Nick Fury in "The Avengers." And while promoting "Piranha 3Dd," the actor told NextMovie that he is planning to star in more serious roles, hoping to star in a remake of the 1939 classic "Gone With the Wind." "[My manager] wants me to do a 'Knight Rider' film or Nick Fury, which I was supposed to do, or a remake of 'Gone With the Wind,'" he explained. "Hopefully 'Gone With the Wind' will come, hopefully something great will happen." It's not clear if a remake is actually in the works, but Hasselhoff seems to think that it does. And he knows who will play the Scarlett O'Hara character. "I think that actress, Rachel Rice," he said. When the site asked: "Do you mean Rachel Weisz, from 'The Constant Gardener?'" Hasselhoff replied: "Oh,...

While promoting his upcoming turn in the porn-y horror flick "Piranha 3Dd," David Hasselhoff revealed that he has more classical aspirations: starring in a remake of "Gone With the Wind." Apparently, the Hoff's manager is urging him toward more substantial roles, one of which includes a remake of the 1939 classic. Yes, you heard right: David Hasselhoff wants to star in an updated version of "Gone With the Wind." With this unlikely casting choice for Rhett Butler, there's one logical follow-up question: Who will play Scarlett O'Hara? "I think that actress, Rachel Rice …" Hasselhoff told NextMovie. "Do you mean [Oscar winner] Rachel Weisz, from 'The Constant Gardener?'" interviewer Breanne L. Heldman interjected. "Oh, yeah. Oof! I think she's hot," he said. The idea of the "Baywatch" star and "Rachel Rice" starring in a reboot one of the most respected films of the 20th century was a little too good to ignore,...

As if starring in this weekend's "Piranha 3Dd" wasn't a clue, David Hasselhoff hasn't stopped dreaming big.
During our exclusive interview for the horror flick, the "Baywatch" icon kept dropping hints about a yet-to-be-announced remake he's hoping to star in: one of the 1939 classic, "Gone With the Wind."
Hasselhoff began our chat expressing that his manager was less than pleased with him for taking the gig in the campy horror film. "He wants me to do a 'Knight Rider' film or Nick Fury, which I was supposed to do, or a remake of 'Gone With the Wind,'" he explained.
Later, after a laundry list of all the "beautiful" women in his life (his daughters, his girlfriend), he shared, "Hopefully the 'Gone With the Wind' will come, hopefully something great will happen."
Needless to say, we had to ask who he might like to see...

After Steve, Corin, Sam and John James were evicted from Big Brother tonight, our 2010 final lineup was revealed.
Battling it out for the winner’s title on Tuesday night will be Bristol girl Josie Gibson, student Andrew, pro boxer Jj Bird, former mole Mario Mugan and Christian minister Dave Vaughan.
Not only will the champion win the £100,000 prize fund but they will also then be allowed to stay in the house and compete in Ultimate Big brother with a load of other famous Bb characters.
Unreality TV is urging people to vote for Josie to win. Not just because she’s a happy and bonny lass (and she really is) but also, if Josie wins, she won’t get to see John James for an extra two and a half weeks and we just love the thought of him suffering!
So who will you be voting for and is it...

John James Parton has become the final person to be evicted from Big Brother tonight.
After revealing that Dave Vaughan was safe and through to the final with Josie, Andrew and Mario, presenter Davina McCall told John James that his time in the Bb house was up. John spent 73 days in the house and received 34.2% of the vote tonight.
Josie Gibson looked gutted by the news and wept as she whispered:
‘I love you….I’m sorry!’
John James replied:
‘It’s ok, honestly it’s ok. I love you too.
John emerged to the first boos of the night, in fact the crowd seemed to detest the Australian hunk and he looked devastated to be there.
So the Big Brother final lineup has been revealed and looks like the most boring since Rachel Rice won. Why do people Always have to evict the interesting people early?

As part of their Bendurance task, housemates have partaken in one of Ben’s favourite treats this afternoon; a spa day.
They also received a hamper full of beauty and spa goodies, so they’ve all pampered themselves to within an inch of their lives.
They’ve lounged around in fluffy bathrobes, and Steve was given a mani and pedi set.
Mario gave Dave a massage, Josie rubbed Steve’s scalp, and everyone got a personal foot spa to play with.
So a jolly good time was had by all old boy!

You might have noticed that we love a bit of Big Brother here at TV Towers. As the last ever series of TV's best reality show begins, we hunted down our favourite Big Brother stars for an exclusive chat. Big Brother 9 winner Rachel Rice was kind enough to tell us about her time on the show, and pass on a few tips for this year's housemates.

Rachel Christie, the niece of former Olympic runner Linford Christie, will reportedly be amongst the crowd of hopeful housemates when Big Brother returns next week.
The disgraced model became the first black women to land the Miss England title last year. In the early hours of November 2, 2009, Christie was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Miss Manchester Sara Beverley Jones at a Manchester nightclub. She subsequently announced her withdrawal from the Miss World competition and relinquished her Miss England crown.
A Bb source told The News Of The World: “Rachel’s background makes her a perfect candidate for Big Brother. She’s sexy, sassy and with a real life story to tell.”
Well a similar back story certainly didn’t hurt Danielle Lloyd!
The source added: “Rachel is no stranger to controversy. We think she will help make the final series unmissable television.”
Big Brother returns to Channel 4 on the 9th of June.

Last night's Big Brother finale was the least watched to date, according to early ratings figures. The main results show, which saw Rachel Rice crowned the surprise winner, drew an average of 4.71m (23%) for Channel 4 in the 10pm hour. While still huge numbers for the channel, the ratings are the lowest for a Bb finale in its nine series history. Last year's August 31 finale drew 5.3m (29%), which was also a record low at the time and a fall from the 7.5m who watched the 2006 finale. The best-rated Bb finale was the 2002 edition, won by Kate Lawler, with 9.4m. The victory of transexual contestant Nadia Almeida in 2004 also drew huge numbers, with an average audience of 8.3m. Earlier last night, the first live show pulled in 3.85m (16.9%) in the 8pm hour. Timeshifted service Channel 4+1 brought in additional audiences of 376,000 (1.9%) to the 8pm show and 166,000 (more)...
