User blog comment:Attackin/Why I think Sugar was the worst antagonist/@comment-4742462-20170322193006

There's two more reasons I'll add:

Reason 3: You can't take her seriously.

Because she was 80% comic relief and kept going back and forth between that and the villain (even in episodes after she officially became the Big Bad such as Sky Fall), it was virtually impossible to buy her as such with a straight face. At least you could tell that everyone else was supposed to be the villain (even Mal).

Reason 4: Everything she did was irrelevant.

If you stop and actually think about it for five seconds, everything that happened because of Sugar still would've happened even if she wasn't there. For example, Ella still would've been disqualified for singing had Mo Monkey Mo Problems not conveniently been the only time all season where Chris didn't watch the challenge live and Dave still would've gone further into madness after Sky rejected him in Hurl and Go Seek. In other words, all she truly did was just make the inevitable happen sooner. The only thing that wouldn't happen if she wasn't there was getting Jasmine eliminated, which arguably would've been for the best considering how the show pretty much went "F**k you!" and insulted everyone's intelligence in order to make that work.
