I think that's my general annoyance, but can live with it because of the notion

of better programming elsewhere

My annoyance is at how cheap these shows are to make. BUT, once it's established as popular, the presenters will then demand higher salaries based on the success of the show

Then you'll be reading that the whole set up of presenters on GOBB earn ?10m a year. It will be then, when I get pissed off with very cheap programmes NOT going into other programming

Also, whether it's enjoyable, it is reality tv, and they all follow the same scripted format, and towards the end, there is always a bombshell thrown in that "isn't fair". It's done on purpose

And for every reality tv show on the bbc or whatever, there's the spin off show of the same show in another country, on other freeview channels

So where people put up with freeview channels and adverts of the same stuff, I can see why they start on bbc 1 or 2, and get annoyed that they've lowered themselves to the same thing, except people are paying for it
