OK, I am rather quite annoyed with all the spoilers that are getting dropped in threads all the time.

Sure, I appreciate the fact they are posted in
Spoiler
spoiler tags
, but sometimes people just drop the spoilers in for no reason.

For example:

Post 1: Hmm...I really like Sophie, but I don't think she's going to last for very long.

Post 2: (in spoilers) - You're right, she gets fired this week

or---

Post 1: Gosh, Adam hasn't been a project manager yet, has he? I bet if he loses tonight, he'll be fired.

Post 2: (in spoilers) - That's ok cos he does win!

---

It's just ANNOYING. Because I'm sorry, but I can't help but read them...and I know someone's going to pop along, and say 'well then just don't read them', but that's not the point. Keep the spoilers to one thread please, and mark the thread as having spoilers - don't just drop them into random threads, because for a lot of us, speculation is what makes shows like this so enjoyable.

I have already found out who gets fired tonight, and not as the result of going into any threads that are marked as having spoilers...

so please, if you have spoilers, try to keep them to yourselves, unless asked!

thanks.

I kind of agree with you, but as far as i'm aware there is only one FM who regularly does it ALL the time...

yeah I mean I respect that most people on here are kind enough to keep it within threads clearly marked 'spoilers', but it only takes one or two individuals...and i've seen two tonight, both telling me the person fired tonight...

I've missed them thank god... gutted for you though. You could alert the mods who can do something about it maybe?

I too am dismayed about the amount of spoilers around.

I don't want to know who gets fired until I hear it from SAS.

The spoilers are making me cut back on my visits to this forum now.

I will only be posting on the main show thread... I don't see the point of 'SPOILERS' in a show like this?

Everytime I glance on the Forums list, there seems to be a SPOILER related forum on this board

I want to watch and enjoy the Show as it progresses.

I actually cant believe it.
I just viewed one of the exact spoilers discussed here now, ruining tonights elimination entirely for me, 20 minutes away from its dramatic reveal

I totally agree. What really annoyed me is when someone posted that spoiler about Sayid from series 2 coming back for the final two episodes and winning the whole thing.

What's the point in carrying on watching when you already know the biggest twist weeks in advance?!

Thank your lucky stars you don't read the "soaps" forum. The ignorant ones put episode spoilers in titles on that forum "because people need to know what the thread's about".

As if "Coronation Street Discussion, 16th May, 7.30pm" isn't enough to let them know!

Mind you, they have got a bit better since someone (I wonder who? ) started jumping into their threads to berate them with indisputable arguments

You're best bet is just to avoid coming on this forum until the Wednesday show starts to avoid all possible chances of seeing a spoiler. It's a shame, cause it's nice to be able to chat about the show in between episodes.

I agree - annoyingly - having done my utmost to avoid any spoiler threads - I have just found out something I didn't want to know - by reading a reply to a post in a seemingly 'non spoiler' thread - I am so disappointed now

I'm glad you guys seem to agree...hopefully, if this thread keeps near the top, people will think before they post spoilers...

I don't know why people need to know everything in advance nowadays and can't just enjoy waiting each week to see what happens. If life's such a rush, why not hurry that up too and take a bottle of paracetamols

Hang on a minute, that's a bit of a leap there. I'd like to know who wins the apprentice but it doesn't mean I want to commit suicide. It's a TV show ffs.
