We get that your anti spolier your numerous other posts already confirmed that but why should the option be taken away from the rest if us who do want to know. You also cant blame the spolier thread for people being idiots and posting it in other threads its not difficult for someone to get it from twitter then come on here and post.”
Actually I do not go on the spoiler thread and only know about these chats as they have been mentioned,I didn't know aboutit until the other day, I have no interest in that though, so I disagree that I am too interested.
I understand wgere you are coming from in why should it be those who do not wish for it, well why shoukd it be the other way too?

I (along with many other people) suffer from anxiety.
With Strictly, I know after the Saturday show if my favourites might be in danger of getting eliminated, but without a spoiler, I have to wait twenty-four hours to find out whether or not that happened.
I don't enjoy that twenty-four hour wait. It doesn't add anything to my anticipation, and it does add to my general anxiety levels.
It may only be a small addition to my anxiety, but as any anxiety sufferer will know, it all adds up.
Therefore, I'm very grateful to the people who provide the spoiler and run the spoiler thread each week. It allows me to enjoy the show without making my anxiety worse. So, thank you to abigailsmum and all the moles!”
Sorry you suffer from anxiety, Itoo am a sufferer so I understand how much of a struggle it can be at times.
I do not wish to make it any worse, of course there is the reasoning that they could leave the filming to the next day anyway, so you would never know.
It could also just be left on twitter and not bought here too, so hose who wanted to seek it out could and hose not wishing to could not.
I suppose it could also be argued peoples anxiety can be made worse if the result is spoiled too, it can be tricky, anything can set it off, you never know.
Again sorry to hear you also suffer. I hope it is at a steady place for you at the minute.

What do you mean click elsewhere? I saw the result on the James Jordan thread, hardly clicking on the spoiler!

Lovely post, thank you, I enjoy the show, you must also to not be able to wait a day for the results huh? I do not watch all that much tv, so I do get annoyed if it is spoiled
