to expect not to be treated like a social leper because I don't watch "Britain's Got Talent"

hear hear attila..

They should have given Connie a power ballad and a bar stool to sit on a la Boyzone (can't believe they missed that particular trick).

And these were the six best acts we could come up with?. Dear God. It should have been renamed "Britain's Got Tat".

You missed the best bit then, which was Amanda Holden sobbing her heart out at the 6 year old's singing, but artfully letting the camera film tears running down her cheeks rather than wiping them away like a normal person would do So unnecessary.

Fair play to gappy 6 year old, she did a much better job than I ever could, but I am just glad that the opera guy, who was genuinely good, won and not said gappy 6 year old Although we still like the bar wizards!

I saw ten minutes of this by accident and couldn't believe how poor it was.

Tuneless human beatbox-ers - surely this died out in 1986? (So much for Piers Morgan being down with the kids)

Bar people doing syncronized bottle waving to ironic metal music

I had to turn it off when the six year old appeared.

I thought I'd been transported back in time to the seventies, it was freaky. Two small girls, one doing Over the Rainbow and one doing I'm Getting Married in the Morning and doing moves that were invented during music hall days...gurning and grinning... WTF? Have there been no songs written since the seventies? OMG It was AWFUL.

That wee girl was soooooo annoying

gappy 6 year old was way off key and singing a song about michael jackson's pet rat!

We liked the Bar Wizards best! Gappy 6 year old has no new tunes and will probably have vocal nodules by the time she's 8.

I have had this with all my friends, they think I should of been on another planet not to have any interest in the crap, saying that I haven't seen it to call it crap but those sorts of things usually are.

I haven't watched any tv for years (apart from occasional episode of You've been framed which I love. i don't think people think I'm weird,they just know i can;t contribute to any tv related stuff. I occasionally miss a reference but am actually very proud of the fact.

In all honesty can't work out where I would find time to watch tv.

we watched Britain's Got Talent. thought the 6 year old gap toothed kid was rubbish

I was in the audience of a tv show once as I was offered a ticket (well, it was a night out ), mentioned this to my hairdresser the week after and she dismissed it as 'oh yes, it was a bit rubbish so we turned it over'. Was I deflated.

i don't watch it either. is it on itv? i don't watch itv.

I have to say that this same friend tapes mini-series and dramas usually shown on TV at Christmas-time for her to watch later on in the year. I'm not sure what I admire most - her ability to wait to see her favourite actors in something new or the organisational skills in making sure that it doesn't get taped over before she watches it. Mind she doesn't have children and she can also apply the same skill to chocolate in the fridge, crisps in the larder and opened bottles of wine .

I haven't watched reality tv (bar Strictly Come Dancing and even that I can take or leave) since I broke my minor addiction to BB in 2003 . One of my friends was into the X-factor or whatever clashed with SCD but gave up trying to engage me discussing it after the third or fourth blank stare when she asked me who did I want to win. The remaining series of most reality TV just passed me by. Now I have plenty of time to.... er... surf the net.

Quite.

I think I've heard of it once. Would never desire to watch it. My only nod to that type of telly is the divine Strictly. And yes, I do suffer greatly in the 'convos with my hairdresser' stakes.

Shows like Joseph etc are tolerable because adults don't burst into inconsolable tears when they lose. Children do, and last night it broke my heart to see a bundle of little girls crying their eyes out for having lost Seems like gratuitous exploitation to me.

Having said that, I'll definitely be watching the final tonight so I can tut incredulously and make a comment about people who actually VOTE for these shows when either (a)a gappy 6 year old or (b) a little girl doing a Mary Poppins impression or (c) a rather effeminate (that's the sentiment in our house) male baton twirler wins

Me - too, I don't watch this kind of trite, crappy excuse for 'entertainment', nor any of the 'reality' shows. It's all targetted at the lowest common denomenator and cannot understand why seemingly educated, intelligent people (although that doesn't necessarily describe the majority of viewers) will waste their time and rot their brains with this crap. I have friends who watch this dross almost religiously and admit to often telling them how sad they are and to GET A BLOODY LIFE!!!

I've never even heard of it!

I watched the first night and the last 2 or 3 weeks of the first 2 series of BB but that was enough for me - it's full of weirdos now.

I don't watch that or Big Brother or any other programme where sad examples of humanity parade their talentless egos around in a pathetic bid to realise their dreams of becoming yet another Z list celebrity.

I'd rather pick scabs from my head and eat them.

I saw about 10 mins of Britain's Got Talent last night and it seems that actually Britain doesn't.
