I feel like it's had its day now. It seemed scripted especially Jenny and Lee. The newcomers are not memorable.

Me too, like a lot of these 'reality' shows eg. Love Island, Towie etc, they seem to push for more and more series because of how successful they were in the beginning. But so much changes during the first few series that the producers have more and more input.

For example, in the early years of Love Island, everyone was 'themselves' but as the years have gone on, it's become all about what brand deals they can get and they stop being themselves and become someone they think they should be. Therefore all these shows become boring because everyone is a clone of each other and are scared to do or say anything wrong in case it scuppers their chances of becoming a successful influencer.

I like Gogglebox, I missed the first few years through deciding that watching people watching television was a crap idea. I started watching a couple of years ago. I love the Sidikis, the Malones, Pete and Sophie, Lee and Jenny and the 3 T brothers. I also quite like Giles and Mary, the Welsh couple and most others. It is just a light hearted summary of some of the weeks telly for me (most of which I haven't seen).I

I am sure some scenes are a bit contrived, not bothered, I still find it funny and entertaining.
