Gotta be the worst show on TV...

Makes me wanna through my laptop at the TV :mad:

The tests they do "to find the best" are just ***** :mad:

The MP3 *PLAYER* one infuriated me.

"Whilst the ipod doesn't sound as good... or play as good..... it has to win because of Itunes." **** off.

I agree rubbish tests, but done more for entertainment. Rather then practical testing.

I agree, that's probably the point. It's a channel 5 prime time show. It's not going to be as specific as something off one of the less known high numbered sky channels. It's a light entertainment show, to appeal to a wide audience... not techies.

For the love of god!

See, this is similar to shows I don't like. I don't watch them if they annoy me. I have plenty of other channels / on demand / online / revision / girlfriend to occupy my time.

i don't mind the show that much as some of the things are ok, i don't like the tests like the ipod one annoyed me also as i hate mine and hate itunes.

the one thing that annoyed me more than any other was the motor snowboard?!

argh!!! snowboarding and skiiiiiing are about enjoying the silence and shooting down a mountain/hill relaxing and taking in sights and not to have a motor polluting the fresh air. typical american device.

A few years ago I would have agreed, but she's starting to show her age now.

Does anyone actually win the competitions? I don't see the winner mentioned anywhere, the prizes are great but no clue :/ or am I just missing them on the frive website or something.
