The Cube has fast become one of ITV's biggest game shows and the fact that it's been turned into 'celebrity' and 'Olympic' specials only reinforce this.
However since Mo Farah defeated the cube in an episode aired this summer (and repeated several times just in case anyone missed it) the show for me has lost it's edge because now we know that the Cube can be beaten what really is the point? It's like Deal or No Deal or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - once we've seen one person win the jackpot we've seen it. It's not exciting anymore and no amount of 'new games' really replace that buzz.
Of course as yet a member of the general public winning the big money but once that happens (and we have the surely inevitable show where host Phillip Schofield has a go) I think the Cube could soon face being boxed up.
