People aren't giving it a chance, if you ask me. After one episode you're hardly going to know the characters, are you? It's like Big Brother in the sense that it doesn't pick up until about three weeks in. Then again, the way the first episode was put together didn't help things. We were just thrown in at the deep end - no narration, no background story, nothing. It was pretty difficult to understand what was going on, considering we knew nothing about these people.

Last night's episode was far better though, and I actually enjoyed it. I think it's a great idea, personally. And as I said last week after the first episode, once we had seen the the second episode and what the characters made of the 'feedback', it would be a lot better. And I was right. I loved seeing them all talking about the comments people had made and people's reaction to the show. It's...odd. And I also think it's great how they're including comments the characters make slating the show itself [i.e when that guy was saying the editing was not very good] - they'd never show that on a BB Highlights show, would they?

So that's why the ratings are low...people, sadly and oddly, aren't willing to give it a chance and the first episode wasn't put together very well. Not to mention that it hasn't even been three weeks yet since Channel 4 got rid of the biggest reality TV show of all time - so springing a new one onto their network is not the brightest of moves.

Oh - and as someone in this thread said, I think there should be more updates throughout the week [maybe some E4 'extra' show a couple of times a week].
