I too have an intense dislike for reality TV.
It is what I call “Lazy TV” – Basically, it writes itself.
…But as I see it Simon Cowell is a very sharp and astute business man and the X-Factor is his vehicle in effect to promote and advertise what he wants the public to buy, And its neither here nor there for him as long as it makes him money.
But he’s still a twunt. And The X-Factor is still sh1te. :p:D
