Surely everyone in that programme is playing up for the cameras by the very nature of it.

I actually watched the first episode and I wasn't a fan because of the obvious performance all the participants were putting on.

Now, you might reasonably say that if I don't watch it, I don't need to comment on it and be negative. Well, I don't mind the show being successful and other people liking it, that's fine. But I cannot forgive it for it directly leading to that period where every other programme seemed to need some sort of Googlebox-esque element added to it, such as the dreadful Watchdog anniversary programme.
