But, I haven't really been re-watching recently (apart from Series 10, which I re-watched in one week, because I met a German girl who was asking for some British TV recommendations, so I suggested The Apprentice and we watched it together). Given that it has been a while, I'm starting to think about it again. I think at some point, when I have a bit more time, I may go back through the old series and enjoy them a bit more. If you take a break from re-watching, the time will come when you will enjoy it again.”

Yes, that's what I was thinking - I may try and go a year or at least 6 months without re-watching any episodes, so that I forget it, and I am reinvigorated when I next really do want to have a rewatch!
From January-June 2014, I watched pretty much an episode a day, and I think after that I just haven't enjoyed rewatches as much. That killed it for me.
