The Zac seat
Posted by Will Parkhouse
Warning: you’re about to read something quite controversial. If you’re a sensitive type, go and get your blanket. I have something to say about Ziggy. And it’s this: I quite like him.
He’s had a tough week. It’s like Big Brother’s declared war on the golden-locked ex-minstrel in one last attempt to break him before he ascends into D-list heaven (aka Chinawhite).
If being called a “bastard” by Richard Madeley wasn’t harsh enough – and coming from Britain’s most affable man, that is pretty harsh – then reuniting Ziggy with his No.1 headache ‘n’ heartache Chanelle for a fleeting few minutes was certainly enough to send the Zigster to a town called Ouch.
These aren’t the first tribulations the Zigmeister’s had to face. He may not have behaved completely gallantly throughout BB8, but he’s stuck with it when it would’ve been easy to walk. Big Brother for him, then, has been about endurance. Where Liam, Brian and Samanda have looked after the fun (and Carole the admin), Ziggy has provided the backbone. He won’t win, but he should make it to Day 94, and deserves to do so.
Ziggy came out of his shell after chanelle left. She was such a wet blanket (and from the final last night she still is). He could do so much better than a wannabe tartlet.

Well, you assume wrongly bigtime if you think I watched either of those programmes, Ziggy has revealed himself through the only programme I watched- Big Brother itself.It's been a crap series, the worst so far imo. If you think people can't make their own minds up by what he says and does then maybe you are referring to yourself zigraelite!!!!!!!!!

I see BBBM and BB on the couch have done their jobs well. Now alot of people think Zig is a bad guy. I definetly don't, he's got my votes. Chin up Zig!

I cant beleive how many women have hopes for Ziggy to win. The house forces the true personalities from the housemates. If he treats women like this and manipulates people the way he does now. It just shows that only his so called good looks have won womens hearts. The truth is he has an ugly personality. The poor martyr. Ziggy to loose. The twins or Brian to win

Come people get real!! Who hasn't ever started something and wished that they hadn't...just because Ziggy and Chanelle didn't work out and it happend to be in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers, who wouldn't wish they had done things differently. If there is one person who has the answers to doing everything right first time around then come, show yourself, there are millions to be made...Chanelle was no angel, screaming and demanding as she was, dont get me wrong im not saying that Ziggy handled it well, but give the guy a break, and she's done very well out of the drama on the outside anyway...(smiling all the way to the bank most would say) so sympathy for her, I think not..!!
To win, got to be The Twins...

well I think zak is OK, him and channele I think was genuine, but I think that channelle is working it since she got out, I think Zak/ziggy will come out the loser. he cares abut Carole so much, I know they have their agruments, but in such an enclosed envirnment that would be expected. Don't thing Zak will win, think Liam the most genuine, would like to see him win. Twins harmless but think they will earn well when they get outside, Brain ain't stupid, comes out with some very profound statements, but also very supportive of his fellow housemates. Jonty ain't got a bad bone in his body and hope he has learnt alot in BB8. Good luck to them all,If they get some reward out of BB8, then good luck to them, I would never put myself though wha they have been through

I have always liked ziggy, He has been made to look the bad one in the relationship with chanelle, They never really showed the true chanelle when she came out, she was not the goody goody girl as everone thinks she was, she was nasty to ziggy at times and he took it all in his stride and tried to keep things calm, your where you should be Ziggy boy!! Good luck,

Ziggy works the system. All he is sad about is that the public have seen him for what he is.The rest are just boring.........So maybe ,should he win ?

deffo brian or the twins init
Posted by: badboi | 29 August 2007 at 21:27
Ziggy is playing a game he manipulates ,demands his own way, is 2 faced ,he said he wants to leave ,WELL go and hurry up

my opinion of liam nose dived dramatically on tues night when he stood back and let ziggy and carol shout to the others in the diary room to vote them and not liam. not once did liam shout to the others to either ignore the other two or vote for him
Posted by: steu | 29 August 2007 at 21:14
I'm want Liam to win.As Liam would say, he is,
"sound as a pound",
and a good lad like Liam is worth £200,000 of them.In terms of Ziggy, getting rid of the fame hungry,sightly unhinged Yorkshire Posh Wanabee(her wanting to be Lady Vic' outside the house must be applauded for the madness of it),is the best move he has made in this house.The real Ziggy has appeared, and by using Brian and Liam to get his manhood back,and learning to have a good time again.The three of them should be the final three.

Brian or The twins to win!
Posted by: Millie-Moops | 29 August 2007 at 20:26
hiya, i want the zigmaster to win he so deserves it he has been through so much trouble through bb8 although ppl may say it is all his fault with the whole channelle business but come on you have to admit it must of been hard to have a relationship with someone on national television also knowing that you were being viewed by thousands of ppl, i wouldnt be that bothered if ziggy didnt win bb8 but if he dosent then brian should defo win x
much love sarah mwah xxxx

I've only watched BB for a few moments at a time, probably an hour in total, so I may not be considered by the fans as qualified. But I understand that Ziggy has not once been nominated by the housemates for the public vote, and this says it all to me; the public base their vote on the 'edited' highlights that are selected by the producers and they are therefore accountable for whatever the result is; on the other hand, the housemates live with Ziggy 24/7 and they vote accordingly. Ziggy, me old china, rejoice in your new found friends who have proved their regard for you by not voting you to the public stage, and stick your fingers up to the manipulative producers that really don't give a damn about anything other than, well, their jobs perhaps.

omg! what about brian people he is awsum! ziggy seems like a good guy, but Brian is so great and funny and sweet how can you not fall for his charm!
Posted by: little miss giggles | 29 August 2007 at 19:50
The ONLY person who deserves to win this miserable edition of BB is Jonty. Carol's okay and has a very good heart but can be unpredictable. As for Liam and Ziggy, they act like two stereotypical old vicious gossips and have NO brains. If you think Liam and Ziggy are okay, get an education (school of hard knocks will do). Jonty to win!!

I like Ziggy and the way BB and its off shoots BBLB and BBBM have treated him is quite disgraceful and humilitating.
He is a kind and honourable individual who has everyones best interest at heart.
Definitely been the housemate of the year for me.
Ziggy to Win

I am 50 year old Mother
I think Ziggy is wonderful,i do think the twinnies will win it but i would like Ziggy too.,He certainly doesn't have to worry about Madeley,he is a T**T and likes Supermarket Trollies ! LOL.
Liam is a nice lad too and Brian,Cannot stand That ol Witch Carol !Anyway Not long now.!

No no no no no! Zach is cowardly, manipulative, dishonest, two-faced, lazy, uber-narcissistic, unreliable, a cheat, a liar and an absolute moron in terms of intelligence.
He should have been booted out long ago, which I reckon he would have been if the public had had a chance to vote! Mind you, Chanelle is also all of the above (possibly excepting being a cheat and a liar). They are a match made in heaven. String them up!

Go Ziggy! By far the most entertaining housemate this year and definately deserves to emerge as a star - leaving the others in his wake.
