The other thing to keep in mind is that EPMB DOESN'T CARE who wins. And he sure as heck isn't keeping some quota on who wins. The only thing anyone in TV cares about is ratings, which means getting more casual viewers (ie, not us) to watch the show. And that means casting good looking bimbos and himbos to walk around in bathing suits and "characters" they hope will breakout. I suppose we can thank Rupert for that dreadful phenomenon.

Well then, they probably should have realized that what they're doing is not working, given the long-term decline of ratings.
