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.

Brian Dowling has admitted that he is always “insecure” about his popularity.
The Irish man – who won the second series of ‘Big Brother’ in 2001 and last year’s ‘Ultimate Big Brother’ special – admitted while he knows he is one of the most TV stars popular, he gets insecure because people expect him to be nice “all the time”.
He said: “I’m certainly the most popular person who ever lived in a house on television. But it’s made me more insecure because people expect me to be nice all the time.
“I’m not good at telling jokes, I don’t even get jokes. I just don’t take life too seriously and can take the p**s out of myself.”

Tonight on Channel 4, Come Dine with Me is served with a twist.
All the contestants – or should that be housemates – are former Big Brother winners. Stepping up to the plate are Brian Dowling, Nadia Almada, Brian Belo and Sophie Reade.
During Brian’s dinner party, hosted at his mums house in Essex, he manages to persuade Sophie Reade to lock lips with him.
“He got me really drunk so I gave Brian a cheeky kiss. I have got lots of things in common with him. He is very immature and so am I. That is why we get on so well,” she told The Sun.
However, she regretted the snog the next day, and told Belo:
“I don’t want to ruin our friendship. I don’t want to cross the line.”

For this week’s shopping task, Housemates have been reliving significant moments from the past ten years of Big Brother. This will take place over three days, culminating in a live performance of Pie Jesu by Michelle on the live show in front of Friday night’s eviction crowd.
Below are the tasks that occurred yesterday and the results so far.
Makosi
Despite Makosi’s deliberate attempt to make herself unpopular, the Housemates successfully ignored her and therefore successfully completed this part of her task. Makosi’s unlucky spell continues today.
Preston
Preston successfully ate 48 liquor chocolates without being sick.
Ulrika & Nick
Ulrika and Nick have performed their version of “Endless Love” which has been uploaded onto the Big Brother website. They must get more than 81,483 hits to beat Ulrika and Verne Troyer’s performance of the same song from Celebrity Big Brother 6. The deadline will close for this later this evening.
