Yes, but the reality still continues with The X Factor. Then it's Strictly Come Dancing, then I'm A Celebrity, then back to Big Brother again.

The X Factor is only really watchable for me in the early stages, before the live shows.

You see all the wierdos, all the stories, etc, and it is actually quite engaging.

The live shows I find quite nauseating. The bigging-up of the judges, the camp dramatics when they argue after a performance, loads of things - the whole show seems all over the place.

I wish they'd bring back Pop Idol. A lot slicker and more focused. However, that seems to have been McManused out of existence.

Bloody Scots.
