Scarlett wasn't confirmed to be the main antagonist. Ryan asked Julie if the main villain was Scarlett (villain =/= antagonist). And she answered that this season had more than previous ones but in !her opinion! Scarlett was an important villain. Scarlett was literally only an antagonist for 3 minutes of 1 episode, so NO she isn't the main antagonist. She might be a bigger villain than Sugar but she wasn't a big antagonist in this season. The main antagonist is the one who causes the most conflict and drama for the protagonists to overcome throughout the entire season and that was clearly Sugar.

Sugar and Jasmine had the most interactions and the most different plotlines. That's not my opinion, that's a fact. That's the reason why those two are the most important characters of this season. I like Shawn and he's a deserved winner, but he only got one important plotline which was his relationship with Jasmine and he barely made contact with the other contestants. Sky had two plotlines, a crush on Dave and an alliance with Sugar and never did anything else besides those two plotlines. So if you would remove their characters completely from the season, not much would change. While if you would remove Sugar from the season the majority would have to be completely rewritten and Ella probably wouldn't even be a contestant since Sugar was pretty much her only reason to be in the season (she also had a little subplot with Dave, but that wasn't significant enough).

Also it doesn't matter if you like Sugar's humor or not, that's personal. And everyone has a different sense of humor. The fact is that nearly every sentence Sugar says and action she does is meant as a joke. Same for Max. So these two characters where obviously meant to be an important comic relief of the season. Whether they actually made you laugh or not is opinion, what's a fact is that the writers relied on them to be the main comic relief of the season.

I don't care if you like Sugar or not, the fact is that the writers made her a main antagonist and a main comic relief. They gave her the most interactions and plotlines out of any contestant which makes her the most important character of this season together with Jasmine. Jasmine = main protagonist, Sugar = main antagonist. And I based this on the number of significant interactions, plotlines and screentime.
