22. Brandi Glanville (Celebrity Big Brother 1, 7th Place)

Brandis sole role in this season was to serve as a drunken whirlwind of unhinged fury, and I think she filled that role well. Within an episode, shed already established herself as a righteous opponent to James Maslows bullshit, not giving a fuck about his role in Big Time Rush, or whatever the fuck gives him his celebrity status. From that point on, every episode felt like it needed to include some scene of Brandi getting drunk and bashing James, or just generally behaving in a belligerent fashion. This amused me, obviously.

Unfortunately, Celebrity Big Brother came on the heels of Big Brother 19, and it followed the same pattern that BB19 did. You had your Paul (Ross) who built a strong alliance and alienated outsiders (Keshia/Omarosa/Shannon), and he made a bunch of two-person alliances to insulate himself while simultaneously turning the rest of the house against each other. Brandi was an easy puppet to manipulate into going against James/Mark, and then she became disposable when she opted to cast a pity vote for Shannon to stay in round three. Sure, she tried to hook up with Omarosa to get the all-girls thing going again, but she just got wrecked when Ross railroaded her a few rounds later.

I dunno. Brandi had all the makings of being a fun character in terms of her personality, but her gameplay just dampened that volatility. She wasnt good enough at competitions to be valuable to anyone, and she wound up getting booted relatively early into the season, only to turn around and cast one of the few non-bitter votes for Ross to win. She just isnt a perfect character to me, so I feel compelled to rank her lower than perhaps she deserves.
