you lost me at this nugget of wisdom. Those who hated them switched off or never switched on in the first place.

And please tell me just how many Jedward fanatics dedicated an hour a day to the show just because of their presence? Millions? Thousands? dozens? And would that include the 3000 that made the effort to buy their album?

Well then, I suppose it's a good thing I really don't care whether you're following me or not... Your thread asked for my opinion and I provided it. You don't have to agree with it but let's keep the insults out of it, okay? I'd like to believe there's still some civility left in the world.


To further touch upon my initial post, I know SEVERAL people who couldn't stand the thought of those kids when they first went into their house. Many of those people (more than not) were surprised with the level of entertainment they ended up bringing to the house. Other than sweatgate and the love triangle of Lucien, Kerry, and Amy, without Jedward the show would have been bland (barring alternative housemates of the same nature).

Finally, to touch on your last point about many people who "tuned out" and didn't bother to "tune back in," as it were, you're absolutely right... but then again, most of those people didn't feel the need to come onto an internet forum to express their distaste...

On the contrary, they just tuned out and kept it moving, never looking back... Perhaps you should have done the same. In any event, you can thank your lucky stars that the series is over... so now you can find something else to be discontent about.

Have a SUPER day.

Well said that man. (or woman!!)

It does make me giggle that some of those who allegedly switched off - or didn't switch on to watch - seem to be in a better position to judge the antics of Jedward - on the show that they didn't watch much of. wish I knew how to do that, would save me needing to buy a TV Licence !!!

Very well said indeed NXS, hope you have a great day, you deserve to after that post that sums things up perfectly.

Going by the poll results: love 'em or loathe 'em - seems the majority agree that Jedward helped CBB ratings.
