Boy have they got a recipe for disaster, what a load of cobblers! What a patronising set of Judges too, absolute rubbish! One thing is certain, we won't be watching it again. What do you think members? |

Actually, there is only one that I watched and liked it enough to watch again and that's "Sinbad's Family Affair". I have always loved Sinbad's comedy and this show doesn't disappoint! |

Most of them are a load of cobblers, Ron.

Right now I'm watching Dancing with the Stars. I watched the X Factor when I was in England. I was enjoying that, but lost track of who won after I got home. Last time on America's Got Talent there was a 9 year old girl who was a musical prodigy. She had an amazing operatic voice. Beautiful. Agreed, though, a lot of other acts were rubbish, but occasionally there's a gem among them. It's mainly the music related shows that I watch, not the Jersey Shore type. Not sure if you have something comparable to that in England. It's a bunch of 20 somethings living together, drinking and partying. Not entertaining at all. |

Even though I'm not a cook, I like to watch Next Food Netword Star and the Gordon Ramsey shows. I guess I watch more reality shows than I thought:) |
