How is that good voting?

I for one like Emma and Charlie a lot more than I liked Marco and Natalie

You're talking about likability though, that's irrelevant when watching a TV Show.

It's like watching Game Of Thrones and wanting the Lannister's off the screen before the story calls for it just because they're not "nice" but they're sure as hell more entertaining than a lot of the other characters on the show and it would be duller if they went before the show ended.

It's first and foremost an entertainment show like all TV Shows are, then a Gameshow, then a popularity contest.

I'm pretty certain by "like" Macie was referring to which ones he enjoyed watching. I.e. which ones entertain him.

Also, the people in Big Brother are real people. Comparing it to enjoying evil characters in a show about dragons isn't really relevant.

Real people or not you're still watching the show and nasty people make better TV than nice people that don't want to make waves or tell jokes in case it offends people.

Charlie is someone who is nice, offering nothing to discuss, making no waves or jokes in case it offends people? Ok.

Well Charlie isn't seen as nasty is she? The way the show edits her is someone that's conflicted about her feelings for Jason, not some spiteful bitch that's wanting to take them all down.

And I've honestly never heard Charlie tell a joke have you? If so I must've missed it.

She's like a poor man's Lea from BB7.

Yeah, acting like a bunny boiling, bi-polar bitch who kicks dogs is so wallpaper. We could replace her with a plant and there'd be no difference.

That's not entirely true 100% of the time though. Every series is different it's not as easy as making blanket statements like "well he's nasty so he's entertaining" and "she's in a showmance so she's not a good housemate."

Exactly. Can anyone say they actually enjoyed much of Helen/Pauline in BB15 at their worst? Or Jade and her clan in CBB5?

Can't say I did.

It's extremely rare that a nasty Housemate on BB is one of the duller contestants of their year.

In fact the only time that I can think of it was Conor in BB13.

Okay but that's a very quantity over quality approach. Like, Helen Wood definitely contributed to BB15 and she wasn't dull, but all she contributed to for me was my discomfort and dislike for the series. Same with people like Marc and Aaron.

I just think that if you're trying to use an objective approach to determine who The Best Housemates are, you're making an assumption that all contributions and entertainment are equal and it just matters that you're doing something rather than considering what you're actually doing. If that's the case, you can just count sentences in each episode and whoever speaks the most is The Best Housemate.

It's entirely relevant because I'd much rather watch Emma and and Charlie than Marco and Natalie.
