Christian Hellmers is a real life troll. Meaning that he presents himself in a manner which is off-putting to the masses. The effeminate sunglasses, the furry tail, the organic hand lotions, the shots of seaweed.
It's all a distraction that helps to rustle his competition. Notice that there's been multiple scenes of the other handicappers talking about him instead of handling their own business.
The reality is he's an excellent handicapper and the whole "woo woo" method of handicapping is just a front.
That is why he has star power. He's wonderfully different and that is needed for reality television.
