I feel like I rarely agree with Vicky on things and while I guess if I squint and tilt my head a bit I see both sides of the argument, but ultimately I feel like things get overstated to the extreme. A single eviction never changes the house as much as people act like it will, VTE never kills a series like people think it will, the show won't get cancelled because of low ratings as a result of all the "talking points" (this actually might be the worst phrase used on this forum) being evicted, etc. Entertainment is subjective and just because you're Doing Something doesn't mean that you're a good HM automatically. I think Arron from BB13 is the ultimate example of this. I don't think "loud asshole" is an entertaining trait and he got a lot of attention for doing stupid pranks and being annoying (not only to the others but to the viewers), but his airtime didn't really impress me at all. Like, quality over quantity you know? If someone who has a high visibility is evicted it's certainly not the end of the world. In fact, I think it opens up plenty of new opportunities for storylines (since I'm rewatching BB10, Noirin is a prime example. Also, this is why I'm fully behind the idea that Speidi should've been evicted first in CBB11, since a storyline that by all means should've lasted for a week ended up having to go on for an entire series.)

To bring this back to Pauline... I don't have a definitive answer yet. It's still early and I'm trying to discern whether I just find her annoying or if I appreciate what she's bringing. Time will tell I guess.
