They put Alana in there for entertaining purposes. Most of the time she is annoying, whiny and useless and this makes the viewer rage. It pulls the viewer more into the show since he/she is more emotionally attached to the show (even if it's because you're angry at her). So there's a higher possibility you'll watch until the bitch is finally thrown out (and boy, she'll probably throw a spectacular fit when that happens).
Alana also stirs up the atmosphere among the other nerds. If she wasn't around to whine and cry there wouldn't be as much drama, since the other people there are pretty sane and would get along better without a loose cannon constantly wanting to desert her own team.
So yeah, to the producers she's useful in being so useless.
