For me, it's relatability.

Bridgette loves the ocean and living on the coast I can feel the same way. Part of the attraction of Bridgette is the occasional focus on how she is viewing the camp and fellow campers in a few scenes, but these can be few and far between, as she only gets the limelight in "Not Quite Famous" and "Brunch of Disgustingness". However, if you think about her confessionals through the season she has the feel of being the eyes for how me or many others would react to these events, this is the same for her clumsiness causes her to be on the chopping block in a few earlier episodes of TDI. You feel bad because she tries to be a nice person but it doesn't always work out easily, which brings me to Brunch of Disgustingness. Bridgette tries to be friends with both sides of the cabin, but accidentally makes things worse and ends up with a couple new enemies. Basically, she's the most realistic character and a lot of her problems can be shown in real life, showing not everything can be fixed.

Besides this, she's very likable even if you can't relate to her personally. She had shining moments that could make her seem to be a protagonist and was overall a very nice person, but still with realistic flaws that make her more believable than Zoey. She really needs another season like TDI where she doesn't only focus around relationships, because she has shown to have the most potential of any contestant on the show.

If you know me, you know Bridgette is my favorite character from anything ever and it's not just because she's pretty or nice. This should explain why at least I love Bridgette, if not for others as well.
