But the point is (and you can just read my reply to Chuff for the full explanation) is if you don't have housemates in there like Speidi who are creating so, so, so many discussion points, then what exactly are you supposed to talk about? This forum would be completely lifeless without stuff to talk about, and nobody would be chatting about it at school and work. Word of mouth is the single best form of promotion and if it's not being discussed no one cares, so no one bothers to watch and the show suffers. It's both cyclical and logical.

But don't you get that everything Speidi have done (as I've listed) has sparked a discussion? Practically every thread on this forum is about them. If they weren't in there, what and who are we supposed to talk about?! You can't discuss Claire's baking or Razor's snoring...you need divisive, interesting, potentially controversial events to occur so that people start talking about it. A show like Big Brother thrives off of discussion; forums like this would crumble if day in, day there was nothing happening in the house, shows like Bit On The Side would have nothing to talk to about, people in school and work would have nothing to mull over the next morning and say 'did you see Speidi and Rylan's argument last night, who's side were you on?!'. That kind of thing is integral to this show. If you don't have people talking about the show, be it the public, or indeed the press (and no paper is going to print stories of low interest, i.e. anything that's not an interesting event) then nobody cares about the show. You wouldn't watch a soap if it were full of extras and the duller characters and everyone got on would you? They thrive on drama just as much as this show does.

You don't have to like them as people (I don't, and most of their fans don't), but as housemates (and there is a big difference) they are essential components to this series. Seriously, take away everything they've done this series and what else has happened? Where does the public interest come from?
