Up until the recent shakeup I totally would have agreed, but, and this may be controversial, but I think the events of the past week have actually tightened it into a much stronger year and race.
Getting rid of Frankie, Johnny and The Risk to me got rid of the time wasters and clones.
Getting back Amelia and adding her to Janet, Craig, Mischa, Kitty, Marcus and Little Mix has actually resulted in a fairly solid 7 strong lineup in my opinion.
