I personally am watching Strictly but everywhere I look it's X Factor this, X Factor that. It all seems a waste of time if you ask me. The winner will be another has-been in a years time who nobody can remember the name of. How many have actually been successful? I can name one.

I can't wait for the show to be done and dusted so I can read about something else in the papers.

Nothing here, except possibly stuff I have recorded on Sky Plus.

Wouldn't a better quality of paper mean you avoid all the X-Factor / Strictly crap?

I Strictly avoid all these fame shows, and therefore voted "Nothing" because the TV will be off on a Saturday night more often than not. There's nothing worth watching on Saturday nights, and hasn't been for some years.

It's even more galling that even though I choose to ignore these types of shows, I'm still aware of the participants and the gossip. This is because the various breakfast shows on the idiot box will insist on bragging rights about them. Now it's even creeping into proper news bulletins, like it even matters.

Sorry. Bit grumpy today. ;)

I try to be on my computer when Geekette is watching The X Factor, however, with the past weekend being Rock weekend, I watched the performances but skipped past all the rest of it.
Sky+ FTW!

I voted Nothing but I did half watch Strictly Come Dancing on Sat.
I saw one episode of X-Factor, it had those twins on it. The show has not soiled my TV screen since.

I voted strictly but in my defense I am usually surfing on the laptop as SWHMBO watches the dancing. :D

I tend not to watch anything on a Saturday evening.
This last Saturday evening, I was at work until gone 8pm, then I think I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off with the niece 'n' nephew.

Over here it is called DSDS (Deutschland sucht den Superstar), don't watch it.

We go out, watch films or read and talk. Voted "nothing" as we don't watch TV regularly Saturdays (heck, I generally watch a couple of hours a week).

It'll not happen, but I'd really like them to win.

Saturday night is my night to catch up with all the things I've sky+ed (is that a verb?) through the week. I have not and frankly feel no desire to watch either celebrities doing something they're not famous for or people who desperately want to be celebrities doing something that they're largely not good enough at to actually merit the attention..
