I preferred the show way back when it was a social experiment and we really connected with HM as they went on "journeys" during the course of the shows long runs (10 to 12 weeks).

But in recent years it has evolved into a frothy pointless reality TV popularity contest. With the producers employing every twist and surprise they can think of to increase viewing figures, the real ethos of the show has been lost long ago.

I admit I am guilty of watching now for the bitching and the so called entertainment factor, but I watch now more out of sentimentality.

I don't think the show will survive for much longer however I said that 6 years ago and it's still going....!!!
