Youre just presuming fans dont know what they want but you know what they want
None of this makes sense.
People like Emma but shes a bad housemate cus youre presuming shes not beneficial to the show because fans dont really wanna watch her, theyd rather watch Marco and youre basin that on the fact that its what you believe to be true regardless of opinion polls which say differently?
That makes no sense. You need a sit down!

As I always say, when you start using the public vote and opinion polls as a barometer of who is and who isn't a good housemate you've made a mistake as the public don't know anything...and no they don't know what they want
These are the same people who demand certain housemates are evicted and then complain when the series is boring! They need to be ignored at all costs. Like and dislike housemates all you wish, but the minute you start wanting housemates out who are provoking discussion and inciting reactions in people, regardless of whether it's positive or negative, that needs to be stopped. Because it is better for people to be actively hating on housemates, talking about them, watching to see what they do next, than for the series to be full of 'nice' people who everyone loves and everyone loves each other because the amount of people who want to watch that is very small, whether people realise it or not
It's like killing off all of the main characters in a soap leaving only the extras in, you'd end the show overnight. It is exactly the same with a show like Big Brother, remove the characters and what do you have? Nothing, and people will not watch

I thinks Jayne is a good housemate but I really disagree with her past. And I think Alex is prob a nice guy but he should be evicted.
It's a concept not many people believe when it's said but in my case it's true.

Exactly, so thankful there's still people on here who see things this way

They may make a few people switch off, but not on the whole. Like I said there are occasions throughout BBUK's history where ratings have declined when a big character has been evicted, and that is because it is casual viewers who need to be chased and not superfans like you and I
Casual fans are fickle, they're like the Facebook cat ladies en masse who will chastise pretty much any housemate who is daring to speak and demand they're evicted, but then will complain the show is boring and won't be watching anymore. They don't consciously know what they want but it's simple, housemates who are provoking a reaction out of viewers (people love to hate don't forget) are good for the show because they get people talking and irate and that's far better than a series full of inoffensive housemates who don't inspire any kind of interest (good or bad) from the casuals. People won't watch if there's nothing to talk about or nothing going on

Gemma Collins was one of the stars or CBB17 so I'm not sure what point you're making and did you even watch the latest season of BBCan? Nikki was one of the main reasons it was so great, and even people who didn't like her that much before agreed
