100%. And I'm quite happy to sit here and accept that makes me a hypocrite because it's a TV show and certain things need to be done for its benefit whether people believe that's the case or not.

Similarly had the pass to the final been given to a bore as I had worried beforehand, then I would probably have been campaigning and hoping for it to be revoked (even if I do think doing so would be pretty cowardly on the producers behalf regardless), now that it's gone to a good housemate I definitely don't want that to happen.

Because viewers should never be listened to. They vote on impulse, with their hearts rather than their heads and with no logic, and actually vote to evict fosters and encourages these attitudes because it's a vote-who-you-hate-out unpopularity contest and that is no good for the show whatsoever. People love to hate, and detestable characters actually keep viewers interested and people talking about the show. If they weren't around and everyone was getting along, there is an almost certain chance very few people would be interested in watching and people (casual viewers I'm mainly talking about here) would be complaining it's boring.

I actually think if the majority of viewers don't want something to happen, then it should happen.
