What are your thoughts on shows like X Factor, Britain's Got Talent and The Voice?
Shows that give everyone a real chance of being on the spotlight or shows that mock and smash the dreams of the general public while giving well known professionals the fame and glory? |

Utterly pointless, fodder for the masses incapable of taking an interest in anything other than what us put in front if them. |

After Susan Boyle I think these shows stopped the humiliation aspect to a large degree. There is the occasional act that is obviously there for people to laugh at but they seem to concentrate more on the contestants having a sad story behind them nowadays. I also believe that if you're the family of friend of a person you believe will be mocked for entering a talent show and that this will harm the person, you should try and warn them.
I watch BGT and The Voice and quite enjoy both |

I know that some contestants do have a sad story that is true but I heard the producers behind the scenes tend overexagerrate the stories. |

Of course they do.
Watching any reality show, documentary or news broadcast requires the viewer to think critically or just take it at face value. I prefer to consider what I'm seeing and hearing and come to my own decision. |

Xfactor is brilliant.
For people who need a weekly dose of Houston-esque ballads. |

I hardly watch anything on TV anymore as I think the programmes that are on these days have practically ruined TV. |

Used to love them all but since the whole ‘I’ve been on a journey to get here’ bollocks and all the sob stories (which are sad don’t think I have a heart of stone), it all got a bit samey for me. |

It's practically the same formula every year.
I'd say scrap the fake talent shows and replace them with some proper decent television programmes. |
