Would a series be better without an alpha male?

[jyunga]

I feel like this series would have been massively improved if it lacked an alpha (aka Lotan). The lad pack wouldn't have happened. Ellie wouldn't have been tainted. The house would likely have become less divided and people would have mingled between smaller groups more often. Do alphas kill a series by naturally causing a popular/outsiders divide? Thinking back on a lot of the older series I enjoyed, those series lacked an alpha to create a popular group and people were more open to slide around between groups early on.

Every series has an alpha male/female

An alpha female like Carol would've made this series legendary.

Having an alpha (whether that be male or female) is natural in groups like this, however you can have decent alphas and nasty ones

It would have been much better without the 2 sisters who have sucked the fun out of the house

truly awful casting

The female housemates need an Alpha male to function probably and bring out their true potential, like Lotes did with Isabelle, the twins and Chanelle they seem to have lost their spirit without him they have been deflated like a led balloon and now they are all flocking around the next Alpha Male Kieran a bit Like Ziggy with Charley and Chanelle

Not sure if it would have been better without him, but I found the divide entertaining and it lasted a reasonable amount of time without getting tiresome

That's not true at all.

[Withano]

Yeh, people just naturally fall in to the alpha role even if its not normal for them

I think Kieran's now the default alpha male right? Tom following him everywhere, every girl / Raph flirting with him, seems to be making decisions and saving the women from the moth.
