Be honest. Which is your preferred criteria(s) when you choose who to support on reality TV shows?

Multi choice Poll coming.

Give examples in the thread if you wish to discuss.

Entertainment value is the most obvious.

I was the same with things like X Factor. I'd very rarely champion the best voice if they were just delivering boring vocals stood on a box belting Whitney or Celine

Depends on the show.

If it's a talent show, then talent obviously.

If it's a show like Big Brother, I want it to go to someone who's been a mix of "a good person" and "entertaining". I don't lean too much either way; I'm not going to vote for an "entertainer" that is an overbearing asshole with deep flaws in character.

Depending on the Show I normally choose between personality and talent.

Unless it's a Modelling Show I honestly don't get supporting a contestant purely because of how they look, because if they can't sing or dance very well or they have a bad personality then they're tanking the programme.

Yeah pretty much agree with this.

Reality TV imo is split into 2 categories, Talent shows where obviously I will be going for whoever I find most talented (or more my personal taste if it's singing etc) and shows like BB where I would usually go for someone who's entertaining, funny and mostly a decent person

I'd say all 3 .
But talent & personality is very important
