Title: crap/x factor
Post by: wolfie1 on November 12, 2011, 09:42:08 PM
dont you just hate saturday night having to endure this utter nonsense that the other half or the sheep of the world just has to watch, like seriously why is it still pollouting the air waves. my broadband supplier is talk talk and they sponsor the damn programme and the other day i got a courtesy call asking me to sign up for another 12 months and i explained very politely why i wasnt until they stopped wasting my subscription money on that pile off poo and not making my internet and all its customerss faster instead! :flamed

I must admit, i did enjoy last years as a i really liked a couple of the singers i saw during the initial auditions, not that they won of course because they were good!

Personally i think terrestrial tv is completely geared up towards women.

The only programmes i regularly watch on terrestrial are, top gear, grand designs, have i got news for you and the occasional documentary and wildlife programme/series. Where as my mum, sister etc are constantly discussing the soaps, strictly (my career should be over) dancing and all the other mindless drivel!

You\'re right it is - because more women watch it. Just like sport is aimed at men - you only have to look at the adverts to work it out. The biggest voting group for all the reality TV programes is teenage / 20 year old girls.

There is some great stuff for both - like Spooks, Sherlock etc

And I\'m a Celeb is back tonight - yay! :Thumbs-up

Haven\'t watched 1 minute of it :D Why I bought sky years ago, watch more sci-fi, discovery, movies.

Can\'t stand how when you go on google news the england button only has bloomin football on it, not real news.

I\'ve religiously avoided this kind of stuff for the last few years.  Having moved house recently and not having Sky+ available means generally watching what\'s on at the time rather than being selective.

I\'m quite surprised by how much fun X-Factor is.  I can do without the hype and fake drama but at least the contestants have some talent.

TOWIE is quality viewing!

I love ITV2 - US X-Factor is good as well (far better quality but I guess they have a much bigger talent pool).
