By the same reasoning we who like him don't understand the acidic hate towards him too.

I really like him, he can be trusted, he comes across loyal to those who need him to be.
Such as to Cameron on his need in the house.

He is volatile but for me in an entertaining way, he can be full of fun and really down.
He chooses to vent off more in the diary room, so knows himself enough to take himself away at times from, annoying, to him, situations.
That is what the diary room is for too.

He has flaws and he hinself is honest enough to admit he has, that's admirable.

He is also really complex and that makes all he does and says interesting to hear and watch.
To sit and have a deep discussion with him, over many issues, is something I'd like to have with him.

All of that adds up to him bringing loads to the house as a housemate.
In that he is and can be, annoying, frustrating, hilarious, really endearing and most of the time entertaining.

That makes for a great housemate, which he is in my view.
Far from ruining this series, he is the one who has made it.
It likely would have been at best tedious run of the mill series without him.
Something this series cannot, in my view be termed as.
Mainly thanks to all his input to it.
