Meh, over here the most popular TV show is Dancing with the Stars, so I'd say you guys have it better.

What? Here X-Factor is mindless mass drivel of nobodies singing to screaming audiences that the producers can't control.

Strictly Come Dancing (Dacning with Stars) has hot women dressed in very little dancing round a stage.

Yeah, but singing >>> dancing.

YEah, but singing >>> dancing.

Depends on who's singing, they are all amatures to start on that program and most are crap compared to the people who make their name outside of reality TV through true talent.

Strictly come Dancing has hot women dressed in very little dancing round a stage.



Hmm, pie.

X-Factor attracts a younger average audience than Strictly because of the age of the 'stars' on each. Neither is better, the talented people on both are worth watching.

X-Factor has more scripted drama between judges and contestants, and more (effectively) product placement which interferes with the show. I don't like either.

I'm not surprised you're not managing to get him. He was saying that Dancing has a attractive women, which is in itself a rerason to watch it.

I don't understand that reason at all.

It's a reason, some nice guys too. Other reasons being that it's on BBC, more cultured, less trash, no adverts and there's really not much on during Saturday nights in anyway. All about personal preference of tastes, I was recently obsessed with the weirdness that was Take Me Out for example.

Otherwise (other then football or any decent sports in general), don't watch TV.

I knew you wouldn't. It's an illogical move determined by sexual attraction and obssession regarding sex.

Why have I first discovered this awesome thread now?

Anyways, I'm able to answer any questions about Sweden I guess.

Also, I have a question for french people.

How come you're so harsh against kids? Or at least that's the impression I've been getting from my french lessions in High School. My french teacher told me that if a kid would call his/her mother a name, or do something along that like in france, she would slap him/her instantly, and it would be considered normal. Also, the way your school system works also seems really really tough, having to work until 17:00 and being based on learning through repetition and memorizing long texts.

If I'm wrong about something please tell me :P After all, all I know is from talking to people who have been to france. However, it would be interresting to know how you see it all.



I LOVE ICELAND!
