I don't agree that they are being used as a ratings ploy except that maybe, if not for ratings, they would all (except TJ/Jill) have been kicked out - so in that sense they probably are being 'used'..... This wouldn't even be an issue, however, if they were in the house for honest purposes rather than instant stardom (Allison, Jessica) or in Lisa's case just a way to break the boredom of doing nothing day after day - for Lisa it's like this is a hoot, a lark - God only knows what Christina's real purpose is - also stardom maybe? In any case whatever situation these women find themselves in is primarily of their own doing - they don't deserve any compassion or dignified treatment simply because they are all using the SO house for undignified and less than compassionate reasons.
