Even though this should be the last round of excitement it has felt more or less like watching people in an airport leave formally or wait for their turn to exit gate 13A. Unfortunately a lot of the personalities and games have fallen flat and even though this year has seen unprecedented ratings there has hardly been any meat for the audience older than 17 to chew.

It is a fact that statistically there are always more people around than last year to watch etc. but this year definitely has ridden on the momentum of the previous years success. All of the guests seem fed up with the situation and each other and it has become a marathon of emotional stamina held together by a stunned production team that don't seem to know how to stimulate conversation that isn't rated R or isn't bland as polish boiled potatoes.

As I turned on the live channel to see Jackie staring into space I couldn't help wondering if this type of tv content will lead to some kind of inbred entertainment appetite that would deem trailer park soap operas the intellectual zenith of drama.
