We record it on the V+ and then watch it back later on, result is we can fast forward all the guff and duff.
(guff = the waffle from the judges and Daggy Stace, ya kna wa I mean like wa wa wa oh me gawd head wobble & smile, and the duff is most of the bad singing).
We normally cut the show to about 20 minutes with me fast forwarding.

MB, sounds like your under the thumb,
you got to stand your ground. You got to stand on you sofa a shout, "I'm the man of the house and this is my TV, so can I play my PS3, pretty please"
Other alternative is we could all donate a pound so you can get your own TV, but I'm so you can afford it without are help.

I have the same problem. The gf is totally addicted and there's no way she'll be missing a show.
And the thing never ends, each time they throw out one person and there's like 8 left. Endlessly milking the crap...

Hmmm X-Factor is 'must see', but I think your good lady should come to a compromise. One week she can watch it live, the next week is your turn to hog the telly and she'll just have to watch it later as a recorded program.
Mind you, there's only a couple of weeks left of it anyway so she might use that as an excuse !
Maybe you should just evict her ? ![]()
