Default Vic the D*ck whats the fuss about?

I cant understand all this adoration for Victor. He's not even a very strong character but is desperate to 'create' some sort of interest and personality that is going to give him airtime and make him popular with the public. IMO he is 'trying' but not succeeding to be anything in particular.
He fails at the 'aggressive alpha male' persona because he is not really that confrontational. If you are gonna be more like Coolio and thow out 'provocative' comments to wind up the housemates then at least make it obvious that thats what your doing and be prepared to take the backlash and take the HM's on. i.e. saying he would make a few comments to Makosi and then let the sparks fly between her and Ulrika. This lighting the fuse technique and standing back was used early on in BB11 by Josie (crispgate) and it is what turned me against her so I would be a hypacrite to say I liked it in Victor. Its pathetic - he wants to cause trouble but hasn't got the guts to see it through and take the consequences. He wants to be aggressive but then apologises to Bass Fish for upsetting her - he's just too watered down.
He also fails at the mischevious Sam Pepper wannabe - its obvious by suggesting they hide things that he has seen the legend that is Pepper with the public and thinks by trying the same tactic he can cash in on this. But he can't even think of anything original - basically follow in Sam's footsteps and some of his light will shine on Victor. As a huge Pepper fan, I do not accept poor quality copies and Victor fails completely.
Finally (apologies for the length of this) I do not see the 'bromance'. From what I've watched it seems they both see the benefits of airtime and teaming up, but there is NO banter, friendship or probably even liking between them. No bromance chemistry at all. The thing with Victor is that he wants to be something but just can't do it on his own and is only ever remotely interesting when he has an accomplice (something the Pepper didn't need)
Victor Boring - couldn't spice up a fruit cake
