My mum loves it as does DP so they've ganged up on me. I loathe it.

Used to like it, then they over did it and now can't stand it...

Every other year would have been better!

Trixibell79 · 07/09/2019 20:30

Yep! It’s a great family show!

Nicolastuffedone · 07/09/2019 20:30

No. I hate all these kind of shows.

Shadow1234 · 07/09/2019 20:30

No you are not the only one! I would rather watch paint dry.

Rockbird · 07/09/2019 20:33

Nope, I loathe it too. Alas my dds are downstairs watching it so I can hear it all.

TroysMammy · 07/09/2019 20:34

I hate it along with BGT, XFactor, I'm a Celebrity and others of that ilk.

dimsum123 · 07/09/2019 20:35

I absolutely loathe it along with BGT X factor etc etc. Never watched any of them but I don't need to know I'll hate them.

But horses for courses etc

birdlawyer · 07/09/2019 20:38

I have no interest in it at all but I can’t see any reason to ‘loathe’ it!

senua · 07/09/2019 20:38

Meh. It's all a bit OTT and tacky and false. I can't be bothered to loathe it - that would take too much involvement.

Spacerader · 07/09/2019 20:39

I hate it, along with bgt who everybody also seems to rave about and I’m a celebrity get me out of here

Honeyroar · 07/09/2019 20:40

Ive just watched tonight, don't they make a drama out of nothing! They could've done that in half an hour.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 07/09/2019 20:40

I think for me it's because from about 3 weeks before it starts my mum does not shut up about it...phoning me to discuss in great detail what's happened despite knowing I don't watch it and have no interest in it.

No I loathe everything about it

takemetomars · 07/09/2019 20:42

no, hate it too

TeamLannister · 07/09/2019 20:42

I can't have it either.

Tryingtoocope · 07/09/2019 20:44

Yabvuuuuuu I love it, wish I had your mum

nancy75 · 07/09/2019 20:44

I’m old enough to remember the ballroom dancing being on telly on Saturday afternoons - it was boring then & it’s no better now. Added to that strictly has the worst band/ singers I’ve ever heard. It’s a no from me

MashedSpud · 07/09/2019 20:45

I can’t stand it either. More cheese than a cheddar farm.

Kenworthington · 07/09/2019 20:47

Oh no I can’t stand it either. Or any of those popular programmes. Ghastly

Sarcelle · 07/09/2019 20:47

I used to love it, last few years I have been meh, this year I am actively avoiding it. Tired of all these formulaic shows inc Great British Bake Off, Masterchef, BGT etc.

FadedRed · 07/09/2019 20:47

I don’t even like the trailers, even with the sound turned off. Same with any of this type of show (BB, BGT, Voice etc), but some people love them, so each to their own.

lazylinguist · 07/09/2019 20:48

I watched about 1 minute of it once. The spangly, orange-faced, shiny-teethed, OTT ghastliness of it was fairly overwhelming. But I hate all of those kinds of shows.

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 07/09/2019 20:48

I don't loathe it because I don't watch it, but I do hate the way it dominates everything on the BBC - TV and radio - all year round.

MrsBirkett · 07/09/2019 20:48

I don't loathe it, I just find it boring. They stretch a show that should last an hour over two nights for no good reason.

flapjackfairy · 07/09/2019 20:50

I hate it along with all talent related nonsense. It isn't actually the programme it is all the ridiculous screaming and shrieking by the audiences not to mention all the fawning over one another and ott judges. It is all so over the top and embarrassingly cringeworthy imo.
I hate it all . If I ever rule the world I will have it all banned !
