How is that relevant to the viewers or anyone else, especially if that person is clearly not well liked?

It is also impossible for anyone to gauge that or know what is in anyone elses head .A silly statement to make by anyone IMO

very good point to raise , it should be about whos the best / most talented / most liked

misha was least liked

Yes I totally agree OP.

But then I don't think what they are like as a person (or how they are perceived) should come into it either - it should be purely on the performance.
