I think one of the points of changing to go to the auditions was to get away from that, personally I think it's largely been successful.
As I said earlier nearly all the contestants on this Clarkson version, seem to have well paid jobs like legal ones or are at least very comfortable. A waitress earning £16,000 and being really excited will always be more interesting than a Doctor winning £125,000. The show doesn’t need sob stories but it does need people for who winning money means something.
But it does need to be a balance because you do need some people who can afford to take the occasional gamble.
Maybe ditching fastest finger again is the way to go to ensure they can strike a good balance.
Personally I think the balance is better than you, but I take your point. I think those people are getting cast but not always in the chair so I guess the only true solution is to get rid of FFF as you say. As the show is less waffly these days, I don't think we find out as much about the contestants good or bad
Probably not until the other side of the virus. I think maybe one or two were recorded before Christmas along with the celebs, but there was due to be a lot of recording just before lockdown that got postponed.

When is the new civilian Clarkson run airing?
