Last night's episode was absurd ! They put Feltz in to basically tell half of them to pull their trousers up and be more entertaining. What other show on telly would do this, highlight its faults so brazenly.
Says it all though. Despite initial promise apart from one or two exceptions (notably Charlotte and Carol) this cast hasn't really delivered and thus ratings are slightly down on last summer's run. It's not the end of the world though. The summer run doesn't seem to have any bearing on how the winter run does so they just need to concentrate on sorting out something stronger for January.
Also worth noting that the finale on Friday starts at 8:30pm so we can't really expect miracles there either. That first half hour will drag it down to such an extent that the average up to 10pm probably won't be that dissimilar to a normal episode. But I expect strong retention for the winner announcement at 11pm.
