X Factor - am I alone

but I simply don't get it.

What is the attraction? In fact what's it about? How many real talents has the High Waisted one really discovered through his 'talent spotting' programmes?

 

Waste of TV time. For morons only.

 

My mums a moron then. So's my grandma.

 

Until someone comes up with a more entertaining show where stuck with it, last nights show were poor all that crying over a song ?

 

It's cheap, it's easy to make & the masses, for some reason, love it so we're stuck with it until someone comes up with another idea to flog to death.

 

That

and Strictly Come Dancing and I'm a Celebrity and Big Brother and......

Still, they seem to attract the viewers and there are plenty other channels to watch

 

But I understand Strictly

well except for the sometimes eccentric voting

I can see the improvement in the celebs learning a new and difficult skill

But the rest.... complete mystery to me

 

Just because you don't like something and others do, does not make them"morons" as you so kindly put it.

 

Exactly.

It aint my cup of tea but I just turn the fvcking thing over. It isn't harming anyone.

 

I'll admit to anyone that I enjoy it.

For those in it, their point is that one of them will win a few quid and a bit of exposure for a few weeks.

For the people watching, the point is that it is harmless entertainment.

It's something that we can all enjoy watching in the family - and there's not many progs you can say that about, so what's the harm.

If you don't like it - watch something else - it's not compulsory.

 

RE: But I understand Strictly

Why the BBC insisting that someone leaving Strictly is bloody news though - 1st or 2nd story one day last week....blatant advertising from them for one of their shows during the news!

 

Am a moron too - I love it! nt

 

Im moronic to a point

I watch the early auditions when they let all the nutters on. I think thats worth watching for the comedy value.

 

biggest sack of crap on TV

and IMHO "sickly" takes some beating.

It is a sad indictment of the British public that they get sucked in by 4th rate, prime time, cheap excuses.

 

touch a nerve did I?

Its utter garbage.

Re runs of on the fecking buses in black and white or the test card would be a better use of the broadcast time.

Maybe some original, challenging programming is too much to ask for....

 

spot on
