No controversial housemates recently have been likable at all. To be honest, I can't even see anything likable in Rodrigo or Angel, but at least they're nice.

The 'interesting' characters don't come across as people who we can understand, laugh at, or etc.

Last year, Rex was pretty much the anti-hero of the season. None have emerged yet, and the villains which we have seen were not likable one bit.
