I have no idea what the reference for it is, but there was an experiment done as to the most popular people on television shows. It was done in a University Challenge style, with the comparators being 1. A team/individual (I can't remember which)who got everything right all of the time and made no mistakes, 2. A team/individual who got almost everything right, but made a couple of really silly mistakes, 3. A team/individual who were basically incompetent.
Number 2 was the most popular every time they replicated it, varying who was playing what role.
