It may not be politically correct to say this but some of the most entertaining stories on Television can be bigoted storylines, or in this case a scenario of a bigoted man having to live with a black woman and two gay guys in a house.
And also people didn't enjoy BB15USA because of how lovely everybody was.
And people don't watch Slavery Films because of how nice everybody was, people watch these things to see great entertainment from the bad guys and then get defeated at the end, or near the end.
Obviously BBUK is nothing like BBUSA or Roots or whatever you can think of from that style of Film, but it does like any other type of entertainment medium need villains to survive.
For example producers of Ch5 BB will love the fact that Helen won as that series still gets talked about two years on because of a villain doing so well.
Nobody likes truly "nice" people on TV as nine times out of ten they are a bit bland, nobody likes to hear that but it's true sadly.
Just look at all of the best characters in these Shows that pull in millions of viewers.
The Big Bang Theory - Sheldon (villain in many episodes)
American Dad - Roger (villain in many episodes)
Family Guy - Stewie (villain in many episodes)
Game Of Thrones - Tyrion, Daenarys, and Arya (all very flawed characters that are very vengeful)
Gotham - The Penguin/The Riddler (both villains)
I know I shouldn't be comparing BBUK to other shows necessarily, but it's important to try and treat people like Andrew, Helen Wood, and Perez Hilton like those characters above.
Oh and Once Upon A Time - Regina/Mr Gold (both villains)
