The fallacy that popularity equates worth - the story of the rise of Katie Hopkins really.
She appears on a reality TV show, gobs off at Lord Sugar, becomes noticed by some people. The press make a big issue about her gobbiness and the viewers enjoy it, they start printing all the nasty things she says. People who read that press start following her on Twitter and reading about her more in the media. She gobs off more, people take note - cause if the media are paying her attention, she MUST be saying something of note, something important, surely? It snowballs from there and she ends up on CBB.
Within the confines of the BB house, I think the reason she's popular is because of her conflict with Perez and the fact that she can use long words in a sentence make her
seem like the intelligent choice, the right horse to back in the Perez/Hopkins race. She keeps telling them she's smart, she keeps telling them she's open and honest, eventually many of them start believing it was their opinion to begin with. Along with all that 'isolate him' mantra, they can see clearly that she would isolate them at the drop of a hat, they don't want that so they toe the line and do as they are told.
Not sure, with all your long words Patsy, that that is even relevant to your OP

but there you go, that's my tuppence worth.
