We used to watch it at first due to the novelty and obvious naivety value. But we haven't watched it for many, many years.

We thought some of the participants were clearly becoming more aware of their 'performances' to camera and acting accordingly. To be honest I thought then it needed a much greater turnover of participants.

Agree totally with the latter point - I still put it on from time to time, and some of the earlier cast who are still around are enjoyable. But it feels as though every recent addition is playing up for the cameras and trying to be funny and popular. Loses the point of being an insight on normal families and people if every one of them is just there to try and get famous.
