CHEMISTRY LESSON

CHEMISTRY LESSON

On-screen chemistry
So hard to manufacture
Injecting diversity
Is really not the answer

It’s never easy
To find three random faces
Who also happen to gel
Enough to take tribes places

Viewers are fickle
They like what’s familiar
Mess with this at your peril
Watch your ratings drop so far

Favourites matter
They decide who to make stars
You may not like who they do
Even three white guys with cars

Don’t mess with line-ups
Respect their opinions
If their taste’s conservative
You’ll retain those millions
