5 and 4 were both great series. 6 was pretty good, 7 was ok but kind of all about crazy Julie and not that great on a whole. 8 was probably the only season I didn't finish watching because it was so bad. The girls in that season were lame =D
Oh wow! I love how quickly they come around =P The last season was one of the best ever in my opinion so this new series has a lot to live up to! Are you watching it in the UK? If so, how? I usually download it the next day. It can take some searching though lol.
