I'll tell you why.
1. It was at the top of the tv forum page which i like to browse.
2. It used to be my favourite programme when the first series and a half aired.
3. It reached heights of comedy i never knew existed - largely unintentionally but nevertheless consistently hilarious.
4. It was groundbreaking - well for me anyway - as I had never witnessed the phenomenon of constructed reality tv.
5. As with everything successful in tv some production boffin at ITV2 just couldn't keep their hands off it and before we knew it all the unrehearsed laughs and gaffs had gone - this was before series 2 even finished.
6. I'm just a bit surprised it's still popular as when I've dipped in recently it really does seem too bad to be true. There's even "stars" from the first couple of series who think they are too good to be in now LOLOLOLOL
7. If u like watching orange people talking crap and occasionally shouting at each other then fair enough - see also Hollyoaks and Eastenders for a more rounded (scripted) slangfest.
8. I find it a bit painful and sad when i see poor souls like poster Lauren feeling genuine emotions for these cretins.
