Live feed is an issue but not that big an issue

Launch night/opening weekend killed the series stone dead imo. There was a lack of atmosphere and it was boring because of the 'seen it all before' effect. The twist wasn't exactly amazing either, great on paper but it didn't really translate so well on screen especially when it just turned out to be tasks to save you from eviction.

Its about 0.7m down on last year with the week 1 averages. But its a shame because it is quite a good series.

Plus the format is tired as well, it will never be a main stream show anymore but can have a future as a cult show. Its just whether Channel 4 are willing to take that risk or not.
