I wouldn't say that. It often comes down to who you fall out with.Not if they behave themselves.
You fall out with the shows most disliked person....you become the hero.
You fall out with a popular person (over the same issue and behave in the same way)..you become the villain.
You fall out with the shows villain, become a hero..the villain gets voted off..and you get slotted into the villain slot as you're the most confrontational character.
Viewers are a fickle bunch.
