I must confess I'm quite into it this year, despite generally despising everyone on the show. They've pretty much all got raging entitlement issues ("I must be famous! It is my right!") apart from Carole, the older campaigner and Tracey, the late-30s rave casualty. Oh, and comedy Greek gay academic Gerry, who's now apparently the favourite.
At the risk of sounding like a bit of an old fart, the fucking kids on it are dreadful. The only way that people under the age of about 21-22ish are interesting is if they're extremely precocious, have had some traumatic and storied upbringing, or are nubile lovelies (and in the latter case, they become uninteresting as soon as they start talking). It's so much more involving when the people have actually had a bit of life experience.
