Absolutely not. That's the main problem with this year. Say what you want about #PowerTrips or VTE or anything else but this cast just isn't really that good at all? There's a serious lack of driving protagonist to get behind (I'm sure some people are going to come in and disagree with this, but I'm talking about a Deana or a Gina) so it's hard to get that invested into what happens. The crux of the storylines have come from people are aren't likable or rootable (not BB6 "bad people" who are ridiculous and hilarious, but more like BB13 "bad people" who don't have many redeeming qualities but still believe their own hype) and the people who are likable either aren't shown much or aren't that epic. Kimberly's sporadically great but doesn't have much of a storyline other than Stimberly, Jale's good but is too normal (this might pay off in the long run though), Chris is good for an occasional DR on how he's living with a bunch of twats but that's pretty much all he's good for, and Christopher really isn't that much of a thing and isn't that compelling or interesting or engaging.

Like, at this point I think my favorite might be Danielle of all people, which rofl, but even then she's gone from conflicted Catholic glamour model to very low-level delight. Matthew's also enjoyable when he doesn't exude a pulse while everyone around him is going bat**** insane over the Power HM and shopping tasks and other things, but he's not even a secondary character at this point. Basically, we're lacking a character who is both likable and has an active role in the story.
