Coz, it's basically the "same old, same old", and people want to watch new things, not just re-hashing what's gone on for the last 10 years.

Yet the irony is CH5 are saying they are freshening up the show. I think they are as fearful of change as some of the audience seem to be. Some different things were tried in the past, Celebrity Hijack, BB11 had some educated people. I think the attitude with Marcus now signals the direction they wanted to go in and it definitely wasn't anything new just something even more towards the youth market. But that is a very limited audience.
