So what you're saying is "people only praise her because she's better than Mike/Zoey, and otherwise she sucks." You can dislike Anne Maria, that's your opinion, but forcibly saying she's a bad character will get a lot of disagreement.

I assure you, Anne Maria would still have her fanbase regardless of whether Zoke existed, as theres quite another people see in her. She provides humor, has a fair share of interactions, some degree of depth, and relevance to the plot. What also sets her aside is she's unlike most characters who are either firmly good or evil. She's in the middle, a mean person, but does not possess evil intent. This allows the writers to have a different angle to write her from.

As for potential. I don't think people "see potential" in her, but just like what's already there.
