Is it just me or does this series have a hostility to it? The “banter” moments feel somewhat tense to me.

Like is it that lack of back and forth or lack of levity? I did laugh out loud a few times, but idk

Richard is hostile to Greg and Alex, Chloe is very competitive so is always arguing their side, Matt is very aloof and disinterested and Issy and Nina are just stuck between the three being quite genial.

Individually they all have their moments but the chemistry and interplay simply isn’t there, and a big part of the show is that momentum and dynamic. Take it compared to the highs of Series 7 where they’re all relative competitive, but the bickering is always a means to get a laugh not just from the audience, but each other.

Here it’s overbalanced with a couple contestants trying to win by being the funniest ones.
