I suspect we are not the audience that would watch that type of show. Being in the majority of 30 (or less) may not be that telling, though still counting, could we reach the heady heights of 40? :)

It's very tempting to add "Axe Simon Cowell" as an option on the poll...

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
 

You might be missing the "in", in the statement "Axe Simon Cowell" , or, am I too cruel :|

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
 

Actually, that's an even better option.

And ITV are rumoured to be looking for a replacement.. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s103/...placement.html

Surely they could just bring back Pop Idol if they could agree terms again with Simon Fuller

There is hardly any difference between the two as it is

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
 

you all make me laugh. I bet you all watch them on the quiet :) What would it be replaced with? Re-runs of midsummer murders?

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
 

Nope. I don't watch them..

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
 

Im not going to say that I never watch them because I do. For the first time since X factor started I haven't watched the auditions this year. It was better when they had the auditions in the room and was ruined when they had the live audience last year. I'm also fed up with the sob stories. I want to just to hear the person or groups with the sob story behind it. So I'm going to wait until the final starts and then I will watch it.

This years BGT was very poor and I cant even remember who won it.

You would lose your bet.

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
 

Never never watch them...never

My idea of torture. I also don't watch Big Brother, shows predominately for kids..and sex shows (the latter because it just depresses me, it is never like real life..or my life :). "Ohhhhh big C"..see, not real :D )

Re: Simon Cowell considering axing UK shows..
 

Nope - Big Brother, Strictly, X-Factor, BGT, Get Me Out Of Here, The Hills, Kardashians, and the ilk; I have to leave the room when they're on, as I can't afford a replacement TV.

They are (imho) just "bread and circuses", providing humiliation on demand for TV audiences; if this reflects the state of our society, it doesn't augur well (again, imho).
