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

[krazykoolkazza]

Just don't like this sort of programme, can't see the appeal of it but am quite happy to acknowledge that others do watch it and do thoroughly enjoy it. So why do I have to constantly deal with everyone remarking in aston ishment as thought I was the world's biggest weirdo "you don't watch it?!!" when I tell them I don't.

I'd rather watch paint dry.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

That wee girl was soooooo annoying

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.

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.

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!

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".

hear hear attila..
