Isn't it just a case of people showing off ?

Why can't people just wait ?????

My point exactly! Why go on threads that clearly say spoilers if you don't wanna know?

Spoiler threads are pointless to me anyway, l am in awe of how people remember auditionees' names, as l certainly can't. So no clue whatsoever who the threads relate to. 😝

If it makes you feel any better, nearly half the "confirmed" spoilers are not entirely right

its not the marked threads that are the problem tbh

its the number of ignorant idiots who post blatant spoilers in what appear to be innocent threads

i've hardly used this forum for the last couple of months and wont do regularly until the live shows start because of that

People want to know, if you don't want to know then don't look at them. What is the issue?

You're basically saying "I don't like it so nobody else should either".

as i said above , its the spoilers in the threads that aren't marked that are the problem

I DO avoid the spoiler threads, but have still seen a number of spoilers in threads that appeared safe, its a pita when you almost have to avoid a whole forum because of some idiots

Totally agree. I think some do it on purpose. Have an innocent looking title and then put a huge spoiler in the first line of the thread.

i love spoilers!

i find it very tiresome to watch the entire process, from auditions to judges' houses. i got better things to do! only looking forward to live shows, with familiar names to watch out for.

spoilers helps bookies' punters too. why would anyone put a bet for 'Yes Lad' if they've not even got thru 6CC, with the way they've been hyped at 1st week's audition show + xtra factor.

the OP specifically said "SPOILER" threads, so like others said, don't open it if u don't want to get spoiled!!! so for others who are moaning about "unmarked spoilers", u are barking at the wrong tree here! have your moans at those particular threads.

The problem comes when someone who has viewed the clearly marked Spoiler threads then says something (innocently) in another thread not a spoiler thread that gives something away. you don't have to say something to give something away. It can be in what you don't say too.

Don't have them then. It's just showing off

Tbf to the op they have a point

It's just people showing off.

The latest 1 by Shraine has as a title why the Brookes will win

Well from the title people will know that they're through.

The guys either an idiot or he's just doing it to annoy people

I don't think the spoiler threads are a problem its more people posting spoilers in other threads where not everyone knows the answer or posting a thread with a title that gives away what will happen. If neither of those things happen there would be no need for this thread tbh.

I always try to avoid spoilers at this stage of the competition but I've come across quite a few out with spoiler threads and quite a few thread titles are spoilers themselves.
