That would be one I'd watch. I think you're onto a theme. How many cookery shows are there, when most of the audience stop at baked potatoes and beans in the culinary skills? The Repair Shop, when most people still throw stuff away. I don't think it has anything to do with the subject. It's all about watching people's comments and reactions - they could be competing in MasterPilot or The Great British Paddleboarder Bee. I also really hate the faux drum roll when they announce who will be fired.Mrs H watches the Great British Sewing Bee avidly, which is odd because a) she hated needlework at school and b) apart from sewing the odd button on to a shirt or blouse, she rarely sews. An equivalent would be me watching a show in which people compete in carpentry.
One under-reported development is the increase in eating disorders among young men/boys as they become unhealthily attached to washboards and the pursuit of fame.

Photography one on the go now. An interior decorating one finished recently. Cookery ones are possibly the oldest of the genre.
I expect TV 'executives' (who are this breed?) are probably dreaming up new ones to sell around the world.

Maybe as someone of the younger generation, I have a different view but I think Love Island is harmless fun that shouldn’t be taken seriously.
I too was sceptical of it at first but my girlfriend has got me into it and I’ll be tuning into the new series in a couple of weeks. If that makes me an idiot, brain dead etc, fair enough, but some people just like to switch off from the stress of normal life (especially in these hard times) and watch trash TV. Nothing wrong with that...
But the question is, are the suicides of four 'contestants' and likely issues it causes to many of its viewers (eg body image problems) a price to pay just so you can 'destress' and viewers can feel morally superior to the contestants?
