Nice to see Carla and Leanne climbing,but the top 10 has got some truly terrible characters in there! Michelle? Sean? Bloody Les Dennis!?! There is a real lack of screentime for the older characters which I think needs to be addressed. The Nazir's are all still nice and low and how low was Kal? 26 episodes in 5 months, no wonder we didn't care when he died!
