I think Mouse nails it .. Z list "celebs" competing in a public pay per vote popularity contest, where Meat couldn't get anywhere based on merit as he did in CA, but would just be bored out of his mind in a bizarre prison, cut off from the world. The series, since it has been dropped by C4, gets what audience it can muster here largely amongst the young demographic; its over 35 audience is very limited, and for Meat to even contemplate putting his head on the popular vote block would imo be ill advised to say the least. This isn't a show about skills an aptitudes, and achieving something useful ... it's about hoping to win a popularity contest, and imo Meat's about the work, not the celebrity
