    Star Trek film on 4 was so much better, even though I've seen it twice before! X-crap and Strictly are both rubbish - IMHO!

    "but singing is all I want to do.." (because I'm so stupid I failed everything at school)
    "this means everything to me..". (because I want to get rich quick before they realise I have no talent)
    "you can't take away my dream from me.. It's all I have" (because I have no imagination)
    "without singing I have nothing.." (I'm sure your husband/wife/children are proud to hear you say that)
    "I want to prove to eveyone I can be someone.." (probation officer?)

    It shows what little self worth these people have, that they need 4 strangers to validate them and say they can sing..

    And if I hear "singing is all I have" or "it's all I've ever wanted to do.." one more time...

    The only person who gets rich is Simon Cowell.. :twisted:

    Having to watch X Factor is my Fiancee's revenge for all the cycling I watch over the summer.

    Fair play to future Mrs fingers, that's a tough argument to get out of!

    I only get BBC 1 & 2 here so I'm spared 50% of the the problem, usually I can avoid Strictly..

    My Mrs, despite being the one who wanted to watch the program, is on the verge of smashing the TV in everytime mad Kitty is on the screen.

    (but on Saturday morning she did, finally agree to buying a mahooosive TV :D )

    +1 Mrs Tank watches this tosh, and it makes my blood boil to here children of 16 expressing such sentiments it's sad beyond belief. By all means persue a dream it's what being young is all about but should you fail (and in this particular instance) all but one will fail, dust yourself down and reset your target.

    Come now, surely Strictly has something for everyone?

    For those red-blooded heterosexual chaps out there, who can ignore the delectable Miss Jones' shapely pins and pneumatic upper torso....?

    For the older gentlemen, Lulu is wearing well.....

    For those of you so inclined, Russell Grant cuts an amusing panto-esque dash....

    For the tattoo-artists and students of low IQ Robbie Savage has it all...

    And for those into Necrophilia there's the "lovely" Miss Eggy herself, Edwina.

    Need I go on? :wink:

    I have never, and will never watch any of this tosh! Luckily we have many TV's in our house, plus other ways to amuse oneself, radio, music, books, internet porn.....

    So not a good word to be said here on either program, yet hulla the hulla is the first person to state the obvious - there are many other channels/programs.

    Oh, and there might just be other ways to spend time that watching sh*te on telly!

    It's beyond my comprehension how the otherwise highly educated, urbane and intelligent staff in our office (including the Head of Treasury, Group Risk manager and Group Tax Manager) eagerly discuss what happened on these two pieces of dogsh1t TV every Monday morning.

    I'm looking to buy another flat screen tv for the bedroom so that I can escape the mind numbing tv the other half watches, X-factor being just one of the steaming pile of crap programs she is addicted to.

    Came home from work today to be confronted by X-factor USA :evil: , so browsing on here then off to play BF3 open beta :D:D

    I do watch some TV on my pc, but it's a pain as it's in the front room. Flat screen in the bedroom + sky means I can sprawl out on the bed eating scooby snacks & watching good, interesting TV :D

    I watch both. X Factor is about the only time my teenage daughter will sit with me and the the wife for an hour and our younger daughter also likes it so a rare hour together as a family even though I often want to smash the TV and yes those "I don't know where I'll go if I don't get through" "it means everything to me" comments get on my t*ts. People must have had nice lives if the worst thing to happen to them is rejection from the X Factor. Strictly I watch purely for the toned female bodies :oops:

    Okay, so I quite like X Factor and watch it with the wife but Strictly I detest, along with some of the cretin judges and that Anton whatever his frickin name is.

    SCD is absolute garbage and a waste of space.

    but Kitty is freaking me out as well, we reckon she's a transvestite?
