to think (the wine has made me brave) that Xfactor...

[ouchLegohurts]

...is the easiest way to split society into the intelligent and the easily deluded?
I cannot understand how people are duped by such FAKE and contrived shit, ay this stage!

However I do love live music and it would be a shame if reality shows became the normal route into the music business.

I don't think this will happen - the proportion of X factor contestants who actually have any real success is actually quite small.

DH gets all holier than thou about these sorts of programmes, and actually goes on about me watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians as if I am actually less of a person for sometimes watching it (well not really, but that's how it feels!).

He enjoys 'worthy' programmes on 'Yesterday' and 'Quest' - things like 'The Secret Engineers of WW1' and 'Classic Car Rescue'.

On one such channel the other day there was a programme combining all things war/buildings/engineering called 'Nazi Megastructures'. I thought there would be blokes whacking off over that one up and down the country!

I enjoy watching X factor but I enjoy slagging it off even more - I have found a whole new way of watching it thanks to the Mumsnet threads!

It's an awful programme now, so fixed and scripted. I use to enjoy it but I gave up after Dannii Minogue left. The only judge who i thought had any intelligence.

Dannii was great on the Oz one last year but pretty horrid this year. I've now gone off her too.
