Our Big Brother survey reveals the housemates you love to hate |

Controversy and conflict equal entertainment for Big Brother fans, according to our recent poll of 2,500 RadioTimes.com users.
When asked who had been the best character in the house over the last eight series, users voted Jade Goody and "Nasty" Nick Bateman into the top three. Goody was notoriously involved in a racism and bullying row during her more recent stint on Celebrity Big Brother 7 - not to mention the bawdy "kebab" incident in BB3 - while Bateman famously used underhand tactics to influence nominations in the first series of the show.
In fact, the confrontation between Bateman and eventual BB1 winner Craig Phillips was deemed the most memorable moment of the eight series, with Jade's naked frolics and the vicious fight between Emma Greenwood and Victor Ebuwa in BB5 also in the top five.
That's not to say that viewers haven't enjoyed some of the lighter moments in the series. As well as narrowly voting BB2's lovable air steward Brian Dowling best character, fans also chose Alex Sibley's classic dance to That's the Way (I Like It) as their second-favourite BB3 moment, and voted Paul Clarke and Helen Adams's happy, sappy BB2 romance the best in the show's history.
The survey also appears to confirm what many have long suspected - that later series of Big Brother are less popular with viewers. See the full results below:
