I thought I hallucinated that .

i was beginning to think i had since no one else mentioned it

I agree. I do find his know it all attitude rather off-putting. Especially as judging by the advice he was giving Stevi he clearly hasn't got a clue what he's talking about.

i don't get the love for him at all

I didn't like Scoop to begin with, I thought he was too loud, but I'm really warming to him now.

He has a deep booming authoritative voice that demands attention.

However what he actually says is utter bollocks.

If dropping his bizarre wisdom and harmless nonsense on people is his worst trait then I'll definitely call him my favourite housemate.
His volume level is a little high but he's got a real honest and friendly tone to his voice.

I like him too. He's not to the forefront but he's a positive presence in the house all the same. Also addicted to his voice and when he shouts.

I like Scoop. He's the only American who doesn't take himself INCREDIBLY SERIOUSLY. Plus he made me laugh when he started singing 'No f***s given' the other night. Plus I liked his tune back in the day. Plus there's a warmth to him that I'm not sure any of the others have in particular abundance. Plus other stuff.

Scoop to win! Unless Austin get's his junk out. Or Scoop turns out to be an asshat. Or Daniel Baldwin cures cancer. Or Janice's withered lips gain sentience and become a more entertaining and intelligent housemate than all of them.

Why what's wrong with that?

I found out only yesterday that he and his wife actually divorced two years ago

I am loving Scoop and shall get a vote in for him when his time comes up. Big hearted and not mean spirited.

Find him very annoying. One of those people who does nothing, talks a lot, knows nothing.

Yes, I agree with this, I am happy for him to win at the moment. I hope he doesn't let me down meanwhile.
