Victor has provided the most entertainment via arguments and tension in the house. This is fact, not opinion.

Arguments and tension are good (they also equal higher viewing figures, thus proving this) whilst peace and serenity is bad.

One only has to look to BB4 to see the ratings slump at the dull, normal housemates selected by Endamol in 2003 to see this.

The ratings took a nosedive due to too much peace and serenity, so much so, they even had to send John Tickle back in, their one and only half-entertaining housemate, to try to rectify this.

Anyway, because of the lack of public interest due to the dullards that were Cameron, Gos and Sissy et al, BB introduced us (in 2004) to the unforgettable Kitten, Marco, Victor and ahmed to provide us with some much needed entertainment. Fight night alone boosted BB's ratings (despite being cut considerably) and put BB firmly back on the map. Even the bad press was good press, and you can even see the way they selected the housemates in 2005 to see they wanted more of the same. And they got it. BB6 alone was the greatest series to date, and the conflicts were plentiful, starting on night 1 (Anthony vs Lesley if memory serves).

Thats why I think it's such a shame that Jade went on Friday. Jade was fun, played games and kept me entertained, without having to resort to picking on people.
Jade was non-confrontational, thereby decreasing the likelihood of conflict.

Therefore, the public (for once) got it right.
It's not fact. People have different view on what is and what is not entertaining. I personally don't find a miserable man bitching about his sister entertaining - I find it boring, and cringeworthy.

if you find conflict entertaining, then fair enough. But I prefer to see people in the house having fun, making jokes, and therefor making me laugh. I personally don't want to have to sit and watch two people screaming at each other.
