    Loathe it?

    Is there an option of "just watching something else"

    Refuse to watch it. Actually, I am coming to that conclusion about all TV.
    Life is too short.
    I had to use Google to find out what the question was about.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Just another absolute rubbish television. Not-so-blind date, that's all it is.

    Paddy is funny, but not in this. Surely he could do better than this tripe?

    I had to google this as I don't own a TV, life's too short.

    Get rid of the TV, go on, try it!

    Like to start a campaign against watching TV? See who could last the longest is my challenge. :D

    (3 hours a night 7 nights a week = 21hours x 52= 1092hours or approx 45 days a year- six and a half weeks! watching furniture) I haven't watched one for 8 years, so I have gained nearly a year!

    Are you on tritalk per chance? :lol:

    Love it, its the only crap TV I let myself watch but the women are becoming less and less contestants and more and more attention seeking media whores! Turns out one of them is a topless model who always turns her light off..unfortunately as a 'commuter' it would be wrong for me to start a "Girls in take me out who are topless models" thread... :wink:

    I have seen the last two weekends and whilst I expected to loathe it, it is actually quite funny. That Northern lad who hosts is saves it and I do enjoy looking at the women of whom there seems to be a decent range for all. Some of the contestants however are a little bit special - ergo the kid in the white suit ! :mrgreen:

    I enjoy watching bike racing far too much to get rid of the telly.

    Take me out is about the only other thing I have on series link :)

    I could be up for that challenge.
    Unfortunately there would have to be exclusions or I would fail rapidly.
    Sport? Movies? Boxset DVDs? That's about the only reasons I have a TV set.

    Why frown on TV-viewing so much? Granted, there is a huge amount of utter tosh on the mainstream channels, but equally there is a huge amount of really diverse and interesting programming if you care to look for it.

    So is it snobbery or laziness on your part?

    To clarify - These are the reasons that I still have a TV and for the wife. PC with large monitor would suffice though.
    I missed the "TV-less" part of the question :oops:

    I don't watch much TV except sport and the few dramas or documentaries that appeal to me each year (plus Mrs. Brown's Boys).

    Don't know what the show is and not likely to seek it out. Don't know that I watch any "live" telly these days and almost nothing before 9pm. GF watches Essex and Chelsea stuff as well as Come dine with me which is quite amusing sometimes.

    I'm almost ashamed to say it, but I quite like this show! :oops:
    It's reasonably entertaining to watch with the wife, plus they're mostly easy on the eye! :wink:

    That programme is utter rubbish. talk about dumbing down, jaysus. Desperate wannabes line up to make a "racy" remark and get on telly.wow. now you are famous. This sort of thing genuinely makes me feel alienated.

    Can't understand this desperate need some people have to be 'famous'. No talent, skill or anything to contribute to society, just a need to be famous. Hate it, hate it, HATE IT!!

    Does everyone go on tell to be famous? I know it features a lot of the same women week in, week out but you hardly get to know the 'contestants as there is thirty of them.

    If I was a young, attractive woman, I'd probably do it. Just for sh*ts and giggles. What's the worse that can happen? You have to go to a sunny island where your flights are paid, you activities are paid for and you get fed. The only downside is you have to spend it with a dullard of a man.

    It's the only thing on TV the missus and I watch together as I can't tolerate her usual selection from the worst the UK has to offer; Emmerdale, The only way is Essex / Chelsea / Liverpool and then the delights from across the pond; Teen mam, Gossip Girl, that one about the basketball player whose dads a murderer etc.

    Don't get me wrong, take me out isn't great but it's light hearted enough for waste TV and it's fun winding the missus up, keep her on her toes by pointing out which of the last two is the best and why.

    First programme of this series when they wheel out all the new girls for the first time she asked the ill fated question "do you think any of them are attractive?" Of course the correct answer is "no dear, none of them have anything on you my beautiful princess" however by Saturday evening I'm usually the wrong side of five pints after footy so foolishly thought it would be a good laugh to answer honestly - I wouldn't mind a go on that one looks like a lads mag model.

    Incorrect answer.

    Our lass now points out how hideous / fake / slag the said bird is every single week (as if that makes any difference) and had some interesting facts about how the harlot makes £3.90 a minute on a website taking her clothes off. Asked her for the URL, got a slap :(
