Well, it’s been a long old slog through twenty-four housemates - and it feels like as many weeks – on Big Brother 8, but as Sinatra once sang: ‘Now the end is near, and so we face the final quoting’. Or something like that. While the housemates are still safely locked up inside, here’s a round up of the most priceless quotes this series, from 20 to 1.

20. Lesley, showing early signs of serious dementia in week one. When a bemused Emily asked if she was okay, the oldest member of the house retorted: "Yes thank you, I'm just sniffing my mattress." Riiiight.

19. Charley, attempting to impress with her bling lifestyle, innit: "Nando's? Nando's, I'll buy it and toss it aht the car window. It's just my life, innit?"

18. Chanelle, instantaneously managing to evaporate any sympathy the public had for her during one hysterical diary room outburst: “I can’t hellllllllp it if me huuuuuuuuuur’s got a natural cuuuuuuuuuuuuurl,” she sobbed hilariously.

17. Pink fans Sam and Amanda, kicking off their umpteenth dizzy discussion: “I hate spiders...but I wonder if I'd be scared of them if they were pink.”

16. Amy trying to comfort Amanda during the Time-Travel task as they skinned and boned a rabbit: Amy: “Just imagine it’s bread.” Amanda: “But I just heard it CRACK! Euw!” Amy: “You’re lucky - people think it’s lucky to have a rabbit’s foot.” Amanda: “Is it a rabbit?” Amy: “What did you think it was then?” Amanda: “I don’t know… a ferret or something.”

15. Chanelle on the dirty housemates: "When I get genital herpes then you'll be sorry!" No Chanelle – but according to various rumours, Ziggy might and Lee Ryan almost definitely will.

14. Ziggy, showing his much-buried funnybone during the night out obstacle course task. Nonchalently pausing by the stuffed prop whilst blindfolded and carrying a pint, he quipped: “Guys, do you mind if I have a moment with the dog?” And we thought Chanelle had already left, ba-boom-tch.

13. Brian and Liam’s boozy double act whilst planning their task. Brian: “We’re blatantly gonna have the best task, get shit-faced and do obstacles.” Liam: “Yeah! How do you spell booze?” Brian: “B-o-double-o-z-e.”

12. Seany, pricelessly thrilled at Jonathan entering the house: “It's an old man! It's a really old man!"

11. Charley being aggressive and argumentative yet again, whilst also contradicting herself. "Don't call me no names, F*ckface!" she politely said as she jabbed an accompanying finger. Charming.

10. Ziggy effortlessly cussing Kara-Louise’s choice of location for armpit hygiene. Gathering all the indignant disgust he could muster, he said: “Can you please pluck in another room? It’s just wrong.”

9. Gerry having an utter sense of humour failure about Seany encasing his stuffed toy in a condom, which only made it more amusing. “It's not even funny; my monkey smells of condom lube. Let's see how you will react if I burn your leprechaun."

8. Billi makes his only entry with the deadpan comeback of the century. As Charley stopped boasting for once, she said: 'I can't pretend I'm intelligent.' Billi shot back: 'No, neither can we.' Ding ding round one to somebody besides Ms Uchea, for once.

7. Beautiful misunderstandings between Seany and Ziggy as the two gay men (Seany and Gerry) entered the house. Seany: 'You seem really relieved - are you okay?' Ziggy (deep voice, macho stare): 'No, I'm straight.' Seany (laughing): 'No, I asked you if you were okay!'

6. Brian playing at being Jade. When he and Kara-Louise time-travelled back to 2002 and Big Brother 3, he whooped with joy about it being one of his favourite years with Kate and Spencer. As he squeezed through the bars separating the rich and poor sides, he couldn’t resist a quick “Am I minging?” in honour of The Goody. Ironic really, seeing as they are probably the two stupidest housemates ever to have lived.

5. Liam watching himself trying to impress Amy under the covers with his now-infamous ‘wings of steel’ impression: “I cannot believe that! No! No! No! How embarrassing – I am never getting hold of another lass in my life.” Oh I don’t know Liam… some ladies love a bit of Batfink in the bedroom.

4. Charley, possibly the most argumentative housemate ever, lying her arse off again: "I've only had about three arguments on this programme anyway!" This, naturally, was said before her 4,819th argument on the programme. Maybe she meant in that particular hour-long show, although that would show a monumental knowledge of how each instalment is put together.

3. Brian, getting this year’s thickness quota off to a flying start. "Who's Shakespeare?" he asked when quizzed on whether the bard wrote Romeo & Juliet or Babe: Pig In The City. Almost as priceless as when Jade invented East Angular.

2. Almost as memorable as last year’s “Who is she? Who IS she?” from Nikki, Chanelle had her own diary moment of impending public repetition early on in week two. "Joost leave them alurn. LEAVE. THEM. ALUUURN," she enunciated, in what she apparently thought was a clear voice.

1. She came, she saw, she was racist, she got evicted. But the number one has to go to another of Emily’s comments, from her intro video. Priceless in her patronising stupidity, she asserted: “There's a new music sweeping the nation - it's called indie". Maybe she just thought the time-travel task had already begun?

And that’s it. Rest assured it’ll be a mere matter of seconds before the eventual winner slips into cliché-ville tonight, calling their time in the house ‘an emotional rollercoaster of a journey’ and revealing that they’ve ‘learned a lot about themselves’. It’s been emotional people.
