QUESTION FOR THE MASSES: Who Is The Worst 'Big Brother' House Guest of All Time?

By B-Side in Big Brother, Lists, Television

It seems as though every season, Big Brother produces a villain (or three) so vile and loathsome, viewers can't help but be consumed with frustration every time he or she appears on screen. Whether they're spouting hateful language, indulging in self-pity, preening with self-righteousness, engaging in character assassination, or simply being awful, these people are sometimes so intolerable and irritating, it's hard to imagine that they could have any fans at all.

Currently, the Most Terrible Person EVER is Natalie, the irritating pest who has annoyed America with her shrill voice, malicious scheming, and generally humorless presence (not to mention her aversion to such things as showers and general cleanliness). But is she really the worst Big Brother contestant ever? Let's look back at some previous bastards and bitches and see who's truly the bottom of the barrel.

DISCLAIMER: Okay, as much as I like to act like the biggest Big Brother fan out there, truth is that I didn't start watching until season three; so any awful people in the first two seasons will have to be highlighted in the comments section. Anyway, let's move on to the list.


Josh, season 3
Talk about weasel. I don't remember too many things Josh did specifically in the house - just that he was gross and disgusting and seemed like a total sleaze. Every time he appeared on TV, you just wanted to look away. Luckily, Josh was out midway through the season before he could ascend to legendary Awful status, but he was certainly on the way. A later Playgirl spread did him no favors.


Allison, season 4
Allison pretty much ranks up there as one of the most obnoxious women to play the game. She lied, she cried, and she was generally awful for an entire season. Her only saving grace was that she at least seemed to be enjoying herself along the way. Still, Allison was a piece of work, and a later stint on The Amazing Race with boyfriend Donny proved that she was nothing less than a spoiled brat. However, I must confess that I wish she lasted a bit longer on All-Stars, just to see her screw with people. I guess that means she's not the worst ever then, huh?


Jase, season 5
There's narcissism, and then there's Jase. Storming the house with guyliner, highlights, tank-tops, and more mandanas than you can imagine, Jase proved to be one of the most hateable cast members of all time right off the bat. It wasn't so much the ridiculous primping he engaged in on a daily basis, but the smoldering spite he carried underneath. The guy had some internal rage that would come out when the cards were down for him. His attitude was reprehensible - as was his deluded notion that he was the star of the show. They don't get much worse than Jase.


Eric a.k.a. Cappy, season 6
Eric only lasted about three weeks on Big Brother, but his presence has been epic. The guy stomped through the house with a self-righteous fireman attitude, and when he was caught in his lies, he flipped his lid in one of the most famous backyard brawls of all time. Everything about the guy sucked, and to this day, the mere mention of "Cappy" is enough to elicit groans from any Big Brother fan. Even worse was his lasting legacy:


The Friendship, season 6
Maggie, Ivette, Jen, Bo, and April. This was the five-headed, Cappy-loving beast that formed the most loathed alliance of all time. Thinking they were the "good" ones - despite their often hateful comments (Ivette was notoriously racist on the live feeds), they simply could not comprehend why America would repeatedly lavish gifts upon Janelle and Kaysar and all the "bad" people. Their self-righteousness as a group has been unparalleled, and the fact that their leader, Maggie, took home the big prize over Janelle still remains one of the biggest travesties in the game's history.


Boogie, seasons 2 & 7
This is a tricky one for me. The full disclosure is that I've actually met and hung out with Boogie a few times, and in the capacity that I know him, he's a nice guy. But on the show - he was pretty awful. Being aligned with Dr. Will, he earns a huge amount of bonus points, but he still came off as a major sleaze, and his treatment of Erika - his showmance during All Stars - was fairly deplorable. Plus, he bumped Janelle from the game, and anyone who does that automatically winds up in the hateable column.


Evel (sic) Dick, season 8
Some people absolutely love this guy. The rest of us - with taste - hate him. This guy burst onto the scene as a "hardcore" rocker - which apparently meant wearing a nasty Suicidal Tendencies shirt and Mom #!*!@ all summer long. Plus, he had a wallet chain. And no wallet. What on EARTH was connected to that chain? And what sort of rocker wears Mom #!*!@ anyway? Ones that are wannabes. Of course, Evel Dick won the whole damn show; so as much as I malign him, he'll always have that to spit back at me, but it doesn't matter. The guy was a jerk, and it wasn't just strategy. He said hateful and offensive things to many of the cast members, coughed and spat all over the astroturf lawn (which, unlike real earth, does NOT absorb saliva), and maintained a cocky attitude the whole way. A cocky attitude, by the way, that was totally unfounded. The only reason he got as far as he did was because of the America's Player twist, which conveniently kept him in the game when he would have otherwise been voted out. Was it really America's will? Or the interference of sneaky producers? We'll never know, but conspiracy theorists will always debate it.


Daniele, season 8
Daniele, Evel Dick's estranged daughter, certainly didn't do too many awful things, but oh did she whine. She whined and whined and whined, and when things didn't go her way, she sniffled and pouted and whined some more. The epitome of a spoiled brat, Daniele made an art of declaring "It's SOOOOO frustrating!" She certainly had more class than her father, but oh, she wasn't much more entertaining to watch.


Crazy James, season 9
Like Evel Dick, Crazy James had some very ardent fans. But for those of us who don't appreciate self-righteous, self-pitying idiots, we couldn't stand him. The kid could certainly compete, but when he found himself in a tough place, he would play the victim card like none other. "You don't know what I've been through" or "I'm all alone in the house!" or "I'm on an island" or just... crying - these were just some of the woe-is-me maneuvers he pulled on a constant basis. Plus, James committed the biggest sin of all: he complained ad nauseam about being stabbed in the back when he himself had stabbed many, if not the same people, in the back as well. Had this been merely a strategy, it would have been fine, but in the Diary Room interviews we could see he was genuinely peeved. Even worse, James had a lot of rage brewing under the surface, and never was that more evident than when he cornered Sheila in the backyard and screamed that she was a +**! for no apparent reason. Not cool man. In the end, he was just a big petulant kid. Oh, and he really wasn't THAT Crazy. He just wore a lot of pink.


Chelsia, season 9
Sharing a bed and various bodily fluids with James was Chelsia, a bitter, spiteful shrew with a very modern haircut. This girl relished other people's misfortunes and wasn't afraid to hit below the belt - such as the time when she ridiculed the suicide of cast member Amanda's father. It doesn't get more loathsome than that. I seem to also remember a drunken spree where she crushed some eggs or something like that, but really, it all comes back to the suicide thing. Pretty much one of the most tasteless incidents in the show's history. And that says a lot.


Joshuah, season 9
Also proving to be a model of abhorrent behavior from season nine was Joshuah, the wannabe Southern gentleman who just couldn't help but engage in angry, spite-fueled rants towards the women in the house. The guy was bitter beyond all means, and when he wasn't calling the women cunts or regaling house guests with stories of snorting cocaine out of guys' asses, he was meandering about the house acting so "over-it" all the time. The best, however, was watching him on the live shows when he'd attempt to be the perfect gentleman - good posture, fake smile, and awkwardly polite responses to Julie. He was a disaster.


Jessie, season 10
In season ten, Jessie the cocky bodybuilder was insufferable. He moped around the house for three weeks, stirred up trouble where he could, and generally acted as if everyone owed him some sort of apology for something or another. The kid was totally dense, and his utter lack of logic when trying to defend himself made you just want to reach through the TV and shake him. He proved to be less annoying when he returned in season eleven, but still, we'll always remember his first time in the house.


Ronnie, season 11
Ronnie thought he was so clever and shrewd - the second coming of Dr. Will. The only problem was that he wasn't clever, and he wasn't shrewd. Plus, he wasn't very likable either. He immediately screwed over his Brains alliance in week one by pitting Michele against Chima, and then he lied repeatedly to members of the house for really no good reason. Lying is one thing, but doing it so awkwardly - that's another. Ronnie was just so bad at scheming, and yet he bragged about how good he was. The guy came off as a weasel, and the fact that he called Michele the worst person he'd ever met because she didn't save him from eviction (when he in fact had screwed her over royally the first week; so she really didn't owe him anything) was pretty detestable.


Chima, season 11
Chima was just a bitch. Plus, she laughed at all her own bad jokes. More importantly, this diva thought the game revolved around her, and when the producers finally decided enough was enough, they gave her the boot. But really, there's just not much to say about Chima except she was just a raging, raging bitch.


Natalie, season 11

Humorless, annoying, irritating, shrill, lacking self-awareness. These are just some of the many descriptors for Natalie from season eleven. Her lightest offenses: she doesn't shower. And she brushes her nail clippings onto the floor (instead of the garbage). And she scrapes the dead skin from her feet into the hot tub. If it were just that, Natalie would merely be gross. But there's so much more. She lies all the time, and she lies for no reason. She lies to hurt people's reputations. She lies to cheat at pool. She lies just for the sake of lying. Some people can lie, and it's great to watch - there's a playfulness about it, a wink at the audience. Not with Natalie. Her lies don't feel playful and strategic, but rather malicious and cruel. And yet through it all, Natalie claims she's kept her word and has played with Christian values. Of course, she has no word, and her Christian values are suspect. There's something about her cockiness and total lack of charisma that just makes her despicable. Other players have certainly done more vile things than Natalie, but it's hard to argue that any have been more annoying.
