Yeah, especially since there are often Irish housemates.
The show still gets featured in newspapers most of the time; every day with the Celebrity series (Ken was on the front page last week) of The Mirror, The Star always provide good coverage (still).

I think they really should have aired it when Jedward went in; the series was back from the dead - Ireland's basically most famous people at the time were in - but TV3 saw it as not good enough then, now they want it when they're struggling.

But yeah, most people who really want to watch can through Channel 5 on Sky/Freesat or online.
