Should entertaining, yet villainous, housemates win?
 

Should villains be rewarded for their entertainment value, or should they not win because of their actions?

It's an entertainment show so we should vote for entertainment, no matter how villainous :clap1: If they were that bad they'd get ejected

Honestly depends on the person's actions within the house. Helen Wood should never have been allowed stay in that house (after all the warnings she received both on camera and off camera) let alone win.

If the person had an actual journey of high's low's and everything in between then yeah winner material.

I suppose it depends on what people individually class as entertaining. I certainly didn’t find the likes of Bear/Hopkins entertaining but would say other people who I’ve disliked such as Roxanne were. Although then again I wouldn’t argue a case for her winning.

So no, for me it probably boils down to wether I actually like them or not.

Think there’s a bit of a line between an entertaining villain and someone who oversteps the mark/makes for uncomfortable viewing who shouldn’t be rewarded for their act

I guess, what I've learnt from watching for years and being on TiBB is, everyone's perception of villainous is different. My answer would be no, but they do anyways (Helen Wood). But my perception of who and what Helen was differed fo many on here. Some liked her for being a villain, some didn't see her as a villain all.

It's a tough question to nail into yes or no

It depends. I like the ones with an aspect of heroism to them like Denise or Sarah because after all, you do still need something that makes me root for you. Other ones who were just wind-up housemates that were hard to live with but entertaining such as Makosi, Victor or Gemma Collins I'm inclined to want there as long as possible and depending on the competition even win in some cases.

I wonder what made people root for Helen

Altho I suppose looking at my series faves most could be classed as a villain in respects. Even the likes of Sarah Harding, Hazel O’Sullivan & Nadia Sawalha could be classed as villains by some.

I don’t think there is any sort of agreement on here tbf on what makes a villain.

Yes :clap1:

She was hillarious and a villain queen. 13 year old me voted for her back in 2014, and 16 year old me would vote for her now.
