I've noticed your standards of entertainment is pretty much loud characters who have constant arguments or maximum airtime.
Doesn't likeability come into it?

He is far from a dullard in terms of what he has contributed to the show over the last few weeks with the Marc thing, the Aisleyne thing etc. He's still vanilla and bland as a person but as a housemate he is now far from boring compared to the likes of Sam and Chloe.
You're not too far off, although there's a misconception it's always about drama and arguments. Not necessarily, I do love drama and think it's an important part of the show but I too get fed up of it constantly and when the producers try to manufacture it. You can bring a lot to the series without it having to be drama per se, I'd say someone like Mark last year or maybe Joel this year is a little like that, a big part of the show but in a different manner.
But no of course likeability doesn't come into it, why would it? I don't know these people, I'm never going to know these people and more often than not I don't want to know these people. They're contestants on a reality show I watch for 48 minutes a night, I want characters that are going to contribute to the programme and provoke me to want to come and discuss the happenings on forums like these, social media, on panel shows, in real life, etc. That's what the show is about, if you don't have these types of housemates then quite frankly you don't have a show. I don't want to relate to someone I watch on TV, I'm not looking for a new best friend. I'm not living with them, therefore I don't care about them. It's like a soap, so long as I'm being entertained that's all that matters. If I wanted to find nice people that I'd like to sit around and converse with I'd go to the park with my friends. When I'm watching TV, it's escapism and considering it's an entertainment show I don't want the same thing.
It's an entertainment game show, not real life and therefore not a Mr/Mrs Nice Person competition. The person that wins should be the person that has contributed the most to the series, i.e carried the show. We wouldn't have one without them.
