I do not find him interesting or entertaining in the slightest and I think Georgina, Andy and Emma have more potential.

Yes you are, because I addressed it in the post you replied to first that I know Marco isn't the only big character this series and the series will not immediately collapse after his eviction, but that it will start the process. You keep implying I think he's the only star and that the series will be over if he's evicted when I've said on several occasions that isn't the case. You are missing the point.
We shall see, but as I keep saying quote me and watch. It happens almost every year and will likely this series too, I'd be amazed if it didn't

Yep
happens every year and people are always bemused as to why it got so boring, but fail to recognise it's often partly their fault

People love to hate people and they love to watch people they hate. It is not a conscious thing or something someone would admit but they do, there's a reason why dramas, films, soaps, plays have both antagonists and protagonists.
The number of people who would stop watching this series because of Marco is extremely low. The number of people who may end up hearing about this series and consider watching because of Marco is higher. And that's because he's a divisive character that sparks discussion which in turn gets the show more attention. The same would not be true of a housemate like Alex or Evelyn, again the number of people who'd stop watching because of them is little if not non-existent, but the number of people who would consider watching because of them is - at present - zero.
It is better to have a strong, hateful opinion on a housemate than none at all. Without these housemates, the show would fall flat on its face (which it often does when several of them leave in succession) and it's just detrimental to its success and indeed future. No idea why any fan of Big Brother would want to sign off on that tbh

Therefore the logical decision is to evict the one who is making me enjoy the show less, rather than evicting the one who will have no impact on whether I'm enjoying the show or not.

But you are seeing the show through selfish means rather than for the collective benefit of the series and franchise, granted vote to evict only encourages such emotive, illogical mentalities but still. Surely it's better to have an opinion on a housemate, be it good or bad, than none at all?
Without housemates like Marco we would not have anything to talk about. And a show like Big Brother thrives off discussion on forums like these, on social media and in real life. No divisive and big characters, no discussion, no show.
