With other half: I'm a celebrity get me out of here, X Factor, Eastenders and Coronation Street.
Without other half: None.

Just X Factor on that list, LOVE it - well probably not as much now John and Edward arent in it.

The Mrs and I watch "strictly" but tend to end up shouting at the telly. X factor is normally recorded and then we wind through everything apart from the signing and voting ( which gets rid of 90% of the show) The Mrs watches EastEnders....we watched about 10 minutes of the jungle thing last night and switched over to Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special ( which is the first time I have ever seen that and really enjoyed it)

I like Strictly, but do shout at Bruce "look at me I'm so funny" Forsyth quite a lot. Really, isn't it about time he was "retired". Can't stand the bloke.

Never, ever, any of them.
Used to be X-factor but I abandoned it a couple of weeks ago. I'm now "clean".

We watch the X Factor results only - just about all I can stand, gives a brief bit of the previous performance plus a (usually) decent guest or two and some bitchiness between the judges.
Haven't watched any of the soaps for years.#
Strictly? - Why?!?!

Absolutely none of them - even by accident. I have never seen a second of Strictly, or X-Factor, not seen any Eastenders for probably over 20 years. I avoid like the plague anything with "celebrity" in the title (except on occassions Masterchef, but that's do with the food, not the people).
I know I would be in the minority, bit I don't understand why anyone would want to watch a soap.
Then again, I'm sure some would say the things I do watch are crap.

Just I'm a Celeb out of those. The eating trials are always entertaining, specially with Kim gagging and snorting her way through it. And the Dean Gaffney bushtucker trial a few years back when he first joined the camp was one of the funniest things I've watched live since the Hawkins own goal v Hartlepool.
I watch Corrie - I think it's as a far from crap TV as you can possibly get, consistently brilliant writing and a genuinely great mixture of comedy and pathos. I must say that I don't like it so much when it gets dominated by melodramatic plotlines like the current Tony/Roy/Maria one. Corrie's at its best when it's mundane and trivial.

Not sure I understand the animosity towards "I'm a celeb", probably those who have never watched it presume it's just another reality show.
It's simply a very well produced game show run over a few weeks.
It is also very very funny.

This, along with going 'shopping' at the weekends, is genuinely one of the reasons I don't want a girlfriend at the moment. I just cannot be doing with watching that sort of shit in order to keep the peace with a bird!
I remember whe i used there every night watching that shit and my life is so much more enjoyable now! You should just f*** off to the other room and browse the wank bank Steve

That's sums up just how I feel. I know the celebrities are these so called Z-listers, but the show would still be the same if it was members of the general public instead. It's not about who is in it for me but the fact that it is funny, gross and a good hours entertainment. I haven't been a fan of Ant and Dec since the decline of PJ and Duncan, but their exchanges in between clips are really well scripted and performed brilliantly.

Snobbery, I suspect.
"I'm far too intelligent to lower myself to the levels of the watching millions..."
Mind you, tonights I'm a Celeb will have to be recorded so I can watch Life (which is phenomenal). I can fast-forward the ads and the phoneline bits then as well.
See, its all about a little bit of what you FANCY.

There have some marvellous moments so far, like the interior designers anecdote about meeting Nelson Mandela on the beach. They didn't want to approach him (because he is apparently far more famous than them) but Nelson approached them because they have "a mutual friend" which turned out to Charlie Dimmock.
It's those little moments which make it. I've noticed people who really lap up dumb television, don't get I'm a Celeb at all. It works on another level and is a very very clever programme.

I don't watch any of them or Who wants to be a Millionaire let alone any other quiz shows. Mind you I'm about the only person who doesn't. As far as it goes I don't moan about them because I just change the channel, very simple really.
