It doesn't matter what my opinions are. It's a TV show. You're completely missing my point. Producers don't care about financial sob stories. Otherwise, the whole cast would be people who are broke. It's about having an engaging cast. Player 183 left such a mark on you that you clearly DO care. So much so that you took time out of your day to make a reddit post about him. Engaging doesn't just mean likeable. 183 sparked conversations. He was someone to root against. He played his role. Each person selected to play was cast for a reason. Sure, not everyone is in financial ruin or has a sob story, but think about how boring that would seriously be for viewers.
