Thoughts?

That said I tend to not really care who wins these days  |
I agree with all of this.
As Josy said, I understand appreciating entertainment value in certain housemates, but I ultimately like "nice" to win. I don't like people being rewarded for nastiness.
It's not as big a deal with CBB because the winner doesn't get a prize for winning, but Helen winning and receiving the prize money after being a toxic piece of work for 10 weeks really riled me.
