I've refused to watch any of this years show given the general pantsness of the whole thing.
I agree with curator that line managers will force the issue of publicity for the sake of the elected officials and unfortunately the curators end up looking the fools.
However, I would raise one point that I know will get shot down in flames.
Do you not remember ten years ago going onto sites and nobody having a clue or interest in what you were doing. The amount of dogs abuse suffered at that time has slackened somewhat largely due to the influence of this effluent show. Now i know that the show has many faults, probably too many to mention, but it has raised awareness, especially amongst the digger driver community.
What I would say is that its probably had its day and should die gracefully (or maybe not so gracefully) but lets give it some small small bit of credit for raising the profile of our dejected community.
Just my thoguhts on the issue
