It is so counter productive and frankly a bit stupid to behave like that.
I suppose thats down to how dumbed down and cheap C5 have made the show and the audience they target now.
A lot of that I think is misconception. Most people do in fact admit favourites can be flawed and even criticise favourites, sometimes people even like them for those flaws but often someone who opposes a view will only see what they want to see because they don't share an opinion.

For instance if you like Lateysha then you probably think Jason did a terrible thing and his fans should bloody well admit it. But if you like Jason then you probably don't see him evicting her as wrong but rather as a stroke of genius.

Having said that though if someone is your favourite then you like them so why would you condemn them for things that might be reasons you like them or because they have a rough day and act miserable? If your best mate in your real life has a tough day you support them, give them a shoulder and don't stop being friends so why would you with a favourite.
