I just feel like I have to ask this.

This year it just feels worse than previous ones.

is there no room for an actual conversation, seeing the flaws and strengths in HMs, even if we support them or not?

Let us try it. Let's say one non sarcastic, unhooded, non trollish, genuinely nice thing about a HM we don't like, and something negative about a one we do.

I will go first...

I like Ellie, but I fully admit she is too gullible and gets led way too easily. It is a real flaw of hers. It will cost her the win this year.

I dislike the sisters, but Hannah has a strength that I admire. She handles herself with a dignity that I enjoy.
