well it is a television programme after all, and seeing as no one else is sticking up for it, its the BEST thing on TV I have ever seen!! not only the concept of making this real time (which must be a ****** to film) but always edge of the seat gripping viewing.
I really don't need to mention how popular it really is seeing as it hits top viewing all over the US regularly and even here in the UK its as popular as ever - even now its had 5 seasons worth!
Two words: F**KING AMAZING!
