Set up a poll thread and you'll see she's either the least popular or just above S&S.
The show entertains me, that's all it needs to do really. |

Who mentioned one comment ??
I dislike pretty much everything she says and even how she says it , don't get me started on her stumpy little legs and her extremely cynical and unforgiving attitude to pretty much everyone and everything ... |

Wooooosh !
![]() ![]() ![]() I agree with all you say. Who sits all dressed up watching tv? The people on here who moaned about the bare feet on show .. that is how most people watch tv and this is what the show was first about. The GBP watching tv in their homes. The first series was really good but as soon as they knew they were 'popular' that is when the OTT started. |

That's why getting in new viewers is a good idea. I guess getting rid of established viewers who overact might ruffle a few feathers though. |

Ah sorry - I thought you were talking about the Oscars, (as the previous posts) not the gogglebox viewers. Yeah they tend to overplay it now a lot - some more than others ...human nature I guess but tiresome/transparent.

Which is why i would get rid of the lot of them.. if pushed i would save a mere 3 households, and intro new fresh blood into the show..it needs it, or it will die, the clock is ticking..
C4 seems to want to turn the Goggleboxers into celebrities but surely that defeats the whole premise of the programme? I want to laugh along with the Goggleboxers making witty comments and being spontaneous. I don't want to care who they are and I don't want to get to know them. They're no longer just regular viewers, they can't be. It's all become way too contrived and is far removed from that pioneering first series. |

Hmmm...I am torn. I do like the cosiness of seeing my favourite viewers there but then I recognise that there is a contrived tendency now operating.
Not sure what the solution might be....phasing out favourites could be disastrous and too risky. |

Getting in new people won't necessarily mean that they will have more natural reactions to what they are watching. The popularity of Gogglebox means it is more likely to attract fame hungry people who play up to the cameras.

I agree and have said it here many times (two series per family, max), but few people agree and C4 certainly doesn't!

They're no longer just regular viewers, they can't be. It's all become way too contrived and is far removed from that pioneering first series. However, I think there are still long-running people and families on the show, such as the Michaels, the Malones and Chris and Stephen who can still produce some funny and natural reactions because their natural personalities can't help but show through. But there are those like Sandy & Sandra, the Tappers, Steph & Dom, Kate & Graham and Scarlett Moffat (I think her Mum and Dad are still quite natural in front of the camera) who are undoubtedly playing up to the cameras or saying what they think people want to hear rather than their natural reactions these days. The show could do with changing the families up more regularly to avoid that, but I think a maximum of two series per family would be too little for viewers to warm to them, and it would surely see people who are still good entertainment value booted off to be replaced by people who might not be so. The editing certainly hasn't helped to keep it appearing natural recently, since the producers obviously have their own ideas of what they think the natural reaction to shows and news items should be (see the one-sided reactions to Brexit, the Oscars race row, etc). Channel 4 are obviously playing it safe, They've currently got a show that's doing well in the ratings and receiving awards. They don't want to risk pulling the rug from under themselves by riskily replacing seemingly popular characters and families with brand new people. There will come a time though when the show obviously becomes stale, where ratings will stall or begin dropping, and we'll probably see a sudden shake-up in the "cast" to try and salvage the show. But until then I think we'll be stuck with the increasingly over-familiar faces. |

I think it works pretty well currently - for me anyway, i.e. I am enjoying it quite a lot! |

I wonder if, when the cast are scenes which are supposedly moving, there are multiple takes for them to perfect their 'sad'/'shocked' faces and squeeze out that all-important single tear. |
