They definitely need a complete change of approach. I'm sure there are many new interesting ways the show could go, but it's been more or less the same for nine years (apart from interesting differences, e.g. they used to be allowed to take books in, sleep and read all day if they wanted, and they used to get binge-drinking quantities of alcohol supplied, and then the voiceover would marvel at how much they'd drunk!).

The innocence of the first year is gone now ... they are so camera-savvy, and they totally understand how the programme works.

I still think there is huge potential for the idea of seeing how several strangers interact with each other. The bonds, the treacheries, the bullying, and the floating to the top of the eventual winner.

It's like Lord of the Flies.
