I feel like most of the families are now playing up to the cameras none of it feels very natural anymore, jenny playing up to the thick joey essex stereotype is really grating on me now
Qould like to see some new families coming in and shake it up a bit

There's a few that still seem natural in their interactions - the Siddiquis, the Plummers and Simon and Jane, for example.
I still like Jenny and Lee, but they play up to the camera completely now, really silly stuff to get screen time.

They were great. Does anyone remember a programme they made ages ago about accessing help for their son with cerebral palsy (I think???). They both seemed lovely. I'll try to forgive their odd fondness for ghastly Farage 😬

That’s right I do. Their son had a severe form of epilepsy.They seemed such a lovely couple. Have to agree I don’t understand the Farage aberration.
 
I know things ended badly between them but Stephen and Chris worked well together, imo.

I think Stephen had to behave better with Chris (on Gogglebox) because Chris wouldn't let stuff pass the way Daniel does. That's not a criticism of Daniel, I think he is just a gentle type of person. Nothing wrong with that.

Not only that, they are all so PC when you know if the cameras weren’t there some of them would have very different opinions.

This is why you can’t beat the original line up. Remember steph and dom? And I know the dad wasn’t always liked very much but the Michaels! I still think it’s such a shame about Andy passing away and I do wish the family continued with the show although it’s totally understandable why they walked away but I do miss Caroline’s comments and Louie and the dad battling out their different views was always interesting. These 2 families never censored anything. Also the tapers (not sure on the spelling) were pretty outspoken. The whole environment and vibe has really changed and the playing up for the cameras kills the magic. I miss the early days.

Especially those creepy siblings!! Sophie and pete who act more like a couple than siblings, they're always sideeyeing the camera like 'look at me ive said something funny!'

I miss steph and dom and all the original goggleboxers
