Got to love how all the replies here imply they NEVER watch any crap on TV when we know full well most (if not all) of you were stuck in front of it a couple weeks ago hoping Rebecca won.

Bunch of hypocrites :D

What do you get from it? Not baiting, just asking :)

What should you get from watching veg out tv?
Should tv only be watched if the program enhances your knowledge, or is intellectually stimulating?
 
Is Rebeca in Eastenders and aiming to win something? I don't get it.

I would have thought geeks would have been very open about their show-watching. In fact they tend to get kind of spergy about the whole thing :|

Man, people are dumb - surely anyone would be able to figure out that Rebecca must have been a finalist or something on X-Factor, which finished just recently? Either absolutely nobody you know had any interest in the show, in which case you need more friends, or you're so detached from them that you somehow missed the fatuous chatter that always surrounds such an event, or you're pretending ignorance in a laughable attempt to seem aloof and above mainstream drivel. I've not watched a single episode of any of these cash-cow shows for years, and the context still made it really obvious who stopper was talking about.

Nail. Head.

I wouldn't go anywhere near X-Factor and it's mind-blending ilk but even I can put 2 and 2 together.

I honestly had no idea. Then again, I don't converse with people who watch such drivel in any particular depth.

I know there was a guy with a "classical" name...I can't remember it...Wagner? Was that it? If he mentioned that directly I'd know what he was referencing. Beyond that...:confused:

Post is more full of win than Matt Cardle.

So a poster suggests that secretly people watch crap TV, leading on to naming a name in a context that evokes potentially winning a competition of some sort, and the thought never occurred to you?

On another note, you don't converse with people who watch drivel? I can understand avoiding the show itself, but to never engage in a conversation [edit: by this, I mean engage to the point where you comprehend what they're saying and can reply in context] with someone who does is pretty sketchy - I've got many friends who are in to this kind of TV, and I consider their interest a vice - as I'm sure I have many vices of my own. How do you know who to ignore?

It's not necessary to recognise the name - that was kind of my point. All it takes is a handful of neurons firing between reading stopper's post and replying with your own. If it can be classed as deductive reasoning at all, it's the most basic form.
