There was an article about the Aussie version of this programme in the Sydney Morning Herald a couple of weeks back, interviewing contestants. It looks a bit different when you have read their comments that
'some people are just eliminated because no-one likes them, it's nothing to do with how they score'
'it took ages to film because there were really long breaks between rounds while they wrote [whatever-her-name]'s lines'
'they made me do the walk of shame again because I didn't look upset enough at being voted off'

I only watched it once and I'm in no hurry to do so again.
