Anyone watching this?
Iāve not seen if before this year but am watching it with the family this year as it enters its third season. Rather compelling; my least favourite bit is probably the challenges, but even theyāve been alright.

Yep.
Am not interested in any other reality type shows at all, yet this one is compelling. Think the competitors being normal people rather than fucking oddballs / tv wannabees helps a lot

Nope - attention seeking twats with āthe fringeā trying to convince the viewer that this really matters

Nope.
Not hitting the demographic on this place
You can close the doors thread tbh.
It wouldnāt normally be my cup of tea.
Itās a fascinating watch, if only to observe how information is just made up on the spot in a vacuum. The speed at which groupthink occurs is also pretty scary.
I will be a bit gutted if Charlotte wins. Her whole plan was to pretend to be Welsh. Iāve never got it.

Whats the odds at least 3-4 end wanting to be vacuous āinfluencersā or online personalitiesā¦ talking of which, who the flying fuck is Molly Mae and why is Amazon promoting a documentary about her ādifficultā year? Jeez fucking wept - we have a generation who look up and aspire to fucking useless cunts doing fuckall but āemoteā about how life in the public eye is horrendous after whoring themselves to be in its fucking glare- you could not make it upā¦.

This thread is somewhat emblematic of the current times.
People moaning about something with fuck all experience of it.
I empathise with the general loathing of reality TV; I donāt watch much broadcast telly at all, let alone reality shows.
What appeals to me about it is that it is more like a recreation of the Stanford Experiment.
It is, ironically enough, more about the herd mentality observed on this thread than it is about influencers and whatnot.

@pap sorry mate but youāre either trolling for a reaction or making broad brush assumptions that fit your personal world-view.
Itās nothing like the Stanford Experiment just really shit TV reflecting the me, me m, me state of popular media these days - This is of course me making broad brush assumptions that fit my personal world-view. 
Yes, Iāve watched it and it is 100% shite
Not sure where you got the āherd mentalityā idea from, given itās such a āhitā IRLā¦ā¦allegedly
It is not shit.
It is brilliant TV and making millions for itās creators.
Itās a global phenomenon.
Youāre just being a Boomer.
I donāt like it.
I donāt like Squid Game.
But my opinion like yours is irrelevant.
Its great TV. So, sometimes is American Idol, Slow Horses, Lioness, The Agency, Landman and Silo.
Hell even The Expanse can be good TV

The the premise is entertainingā¦ the sad fact is that its those that see it as means to some sort of āmeaningfulā existence within webworld and that whilst one really should not give a shred of time to these narcissists, there are enough that to perpetuate the ridiculousness of it allā¦ it has fuck all to do with this or that generation, as plenty of āolderā folks give them the āpedestalsā they craveā¦.
Iāve not watched it, I donāt hate it as I havenāt watched.
Iām a supposed Boomer but donāt fit the stereotypical description. I know people who do and Iām nothing like them. I plough my own field and harvest my own crop.
Why donāt I watch itā¦you canāt watch everythingā¦
