I tend to watch the auditions so I can shout at the ludicrous nature of television, especially the parts where the camera crew go their school/office/asylum as friends/colleagues/people who don't even know them 'wait anxiously' to hear the news. Yes that's right, we've gathered everyone together so you can witness Mufty the singing dustbin come in and tell you they didn't get through, then broadcast their disgrace on national television. Right. Actually it would be much better if they did that. Also '5 million people turned up to this year's auditions', yes, but 95% of those were the contestants families, dolled up with their best slap from superdrug hoping to get on telly. Where do they all come from? I doubt that many folk would appear for my funeral. :swearing::swearing::swearing::swearing: /rant off
