I watch the other biggies of the reality year.

The Appentice is tops for me. Big Brother and The X-Factor are faves as well.

Down a level I watch I'm A Celebrity not religiously and dip in and out of Hells Kitchen now it is back on.

However I just cannot watch BGT, I find awful,cringeworthy and insult to your intelligence.

A lot of friends, colleagues find it surprising I don't wtach iy considering I watch the other reality biggies.

Does anyone else just not watch this at all on principle.

Big Brother? Yeah right... That's worse than Britain's Got Talent...dont know why anyone even bothers watching Big Brother!:yawn::sleep:

I don't watch Big Brother, so I don't bother posting in the Big Brother forums.

I don't think that BGT is any more cringeworthy than XFactor, but if I didn't watch it I wouldn't know.

I hate the audition part of this and XFactor. I only watch the XFactor when it gets to the Boot camp stage

Were Her Titties blanked out in the original show?.........how come they all passed her?
The family were awuful singers, only the boy could sing.

It's a pretty dreadful program. I watched the first series, but subsequently haven't watched it, after I realised it was just the same thing over and over again.

The sob stories are all so transparently scripted and cynical, the whole thing's fake, I don't even believe the judges' responses are genuine

I'm surprised that anyone who doesn't watch the show is in this forum in the first place.

im actually curious why they are allowed to call any of these shows reality TV anyway they bare no reality to reality whatsover

is this not against the trades discription act

I think Susan Boyle was probably a plant, although I do like her. It just seemed a bit too "scripted". Woman walks in, everyone laughs, then she lets rip and shocks everyone with her amazing singing and then the papers and everyone around the world can be in shock and claim that you can't judge a book by it's appearance and that "Simon finally got shut up".....thus promoting BGT and encouraging more people to tune in incase there's anymore "suprises".

As a result of the huge publicity due to this Welsh singer.

Who's from Scotland

She's sang for years and years, and not a plant. She's well known in Blackburn and West Lothian in general.

Are you actually trying to tell us that Big Brother is a compliment to ones intelligence?

I meant 'plant' as in her entire audition was scripted, that the judges knew what she was capable of, that she was clevery edited to be "odd" and that the audience reactions were all edited as well.

It's TV. I have no doubts whatsoever that her entire audition was scripted. I loved Susan, but i'm just saying that it's all a bit too "story"'ish.

X-Factor is very poor compared to BGT. X-Factor is just about singers, the majority aimed towards auidence that are teens. I actually find it funny how the singers on BGT are actually better and unique. But don't dare to say this show is an insult to your "intelligence" when you watch Big Brother. Wow...

I loved it Saturday night, it restored my faith in the GBP after the gloom and doom on the news lately. I laughed, cringed and cried at the acts, it was all good stuff, great all round entertainment.

I agree. If you don't like it why bother coming on this forum in the first place.

I agree it was nice to have a problem that reminded of the halcyon days of light entertainment, we need BGT and similar at this time as a antedote to the gloom, bad news and cynicism that is all too prevalent

I watch Big Brother, The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent and the cringiness is about the same across all three for me: indeed the saving grace for The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent is there are actually some good acts amongst the dross. I personally can't see how BGT can be cringeworthy and the other two not.

I just can't warm to Britains Got Talent. I think it's the judges... the panel on X Factor are 100 times better.

I agree with OP. The fact that they put rubbish contestants on stage to get laughed at in their face by hundreds in the audience saddens me. Atleast with X-Factor you only have Louis laughing in your face (It's ok to laugh at home btw because they can't see you! )
