I think they try a bit more with TikTok now - it’s probably nowhere as good as it could be though. I suppose they’re using what they have budget wise.
I think the cracks are showing a bit more with this series - with the civilian one the hosts improved a bit and settled in as they got further in, but with this series being so short I feel like all we’re seeing is teething problems. I think AJ and Will would work better as the side show hosts now - the main show doesn’t need two hosts and their awkwardness combined with the production’s awkwardness is a bit nauseating and it needs a massive push in the right direction. The whole vibe of the show just feels a bit lost - it feels like the Channel 5 version wearing ITV lipstick.
I’m still enjoying it - it has the potential to become water cooler TV again. However i’m finding everyone I’ve spoken to it IRL about it is seemingly going off it, and I think it’s because the whole thing is just ridiculously saccharin and awkward and uncool.
