It seems the common thread is not really how nasty/nice someone is, but how alpha they are...
Like a lot of people here really seem to deviate towards the alpha females (edit) because they stand out unapologetically. And I guess for the males, if they go after the weak and feeble (wannabe alphas) but perhaps do it in a more feminist way (the audience is more female), then that tends to be more attractive...
Alpha does seem to vary a little bit though based on how old fashioned the voter is or where their value scale falls. I can see where some people will be like "Yeah Ann, no, she hides by her traditions/stereotypes to insulate herself"...
Whereas I'm like Ann is a thug life superwoman.
Plus we share the same name (well, Ann is middle for me), so there's little things like that that we personally connect with.
Sometimes by the end of BB, the supposed betas start to gravitate towards the top as the other alphas self-implode from their own overconfidence and their character in that environment seems to 'dominate' in that they didn't let all the tasks and silliness pick them off... usually it's after they've made some stand like "Hey *, you're a douchebag *exposed*", and snatched alpha status from the remainder of that former alpha's smoldering ego...
