How many genes do you have to have missing to get on the program?

It's about as interesting as watching artificial grass grow, and always has been.

I can't believe that 11 million, that's a quarter of the adult population, ever watched it at one time !

On another tack, have you tried listening to any of the soaps whilst not watching, All you hear is people shouting at each other. Why they are on before the 9.00 watershed I will never know.

And not a day too soon............yawn!!


Watched the very first one, and thought it was quite good, novel idea, etc with fairly normal, nice people.
At least the chap (Craig) who won it appears to be yer normal bloke. He went back to his trade and got a TV slot doing DIY. And even after all this time he still hasn't turned into some no-brain full-of-himself wannabe who thinks he's waaayyyyy above everyone and everything.

Watched it again a couple of years later - OMG, WHAT a bore, WHAT nasty horrible people. WHAT utter crud.
Why oh why are they still milking it .

Brian, thats what I hate about most of the popular programmes, they all shout at each other, or scream! Brought up in an unhappy home, mum and dad at loggerheads, but never heard any of this.

This news will put a puncture in the over inflated egos of the remaining inmates when they strut out next week (or whenever it ends) thinking that they will be recognisable 'celebrities' that the nation have been rivited to for the past three months......ha ha
