This is one of the worst game shows I think I have seen.
I just cannot grasp why it's on primetime Saturday. It just doesn't gel for me.
I'm not commenting on Mr Linekars role. He strikes me as he would be very good in some other shows. This is just so complicated I dont think any host would boos its credibility.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's moved from this slot before the series ends

Found this while looking for another thread, was not going to watch it, and was unfortunately present when someone else stuck it on.

It is annoying.

Though did raise a smile at one point.

Contestants all locked in their boxes.

Joey Essex "I'm Joey Essex"
Contestant 2 "I'm Joey Essex"
Contestant 3 "No I'm Joey Essex"
Contestant 4 "NO! I'M Joey Essex"
Joey Essex "No I'm really Joey Essex"

Little things pleasing little minds I guess. It's not great.

My wife had heard that it was good.

It wasn't. We switched it off before the end.

Who cares about "celebrities" doing fairly random challenges in various locations?

I struggled through the first episode... prime time TV for a egg & spoon race.
When I saw Joey Essex was in it... I pretty knew which way it would go.

'ORDER!... ORR-DERR!" & other incoherent ramblings
Joey: "Oh that was you... in that big building". yikes
"ORDER!"... big grin on his face.

Joey & John are annoying.
The Vixen looked embarrassed to be there.
Sara & JB... Trying to get into the spirit.
Grahame...Seemed glad to be going home.
The others... They are just padding, whoever they are.

Maybe it's too late to call it 'The Portaloo'.
