That's because it's one thing knowing someone like that in real life, and it's a completely different thing having a character like that in a TV show. In TV shows, you want to see all the characters shine and develop at times. Granted the characters are mostly well-developed, but how often is it that a character other than Tori takes the spotlight? I know it doesn't bother you but what I'm trying to say is that despite not being the LEAD character, Robbie, Trina, Jade, etc are all still MAIN characters, so we, as viewers, don't want to see them shoved aside so Tori can constantly get more screen-time and victory.

In real life, it's different. You can go through school without even properly knowing about 95% of the people there, and you won't care. Because in real life, it doesn't matter to you if you don't ever notice the personality of a random person in the hallway, but in a TV show, the main characters are expected to be important in their own right, not important but overall inferior to the lead character.
