I'm kind of hoping they just end the show this season, even though it is renewed. Also can't believe Dwight is getting his own spin-off.
Yes, we're still hanging on. It has gotten bad, and every week I'm on the verge of just bailing. Nobody is signed for next season, so I'm interested to see what happens moving forward. That said, last week's episode was interesting and ended on a note that hooked me for at least another week.

I don't necessarily think they're trying to 'replace' Michael Scott with Nellie. I think they're a different kind of stupid, but they've done a good job at balancing her ignorance(?) with reasoning behind it, making her a little sympathetic while everyone hates her.
