I think Take Me Out is literally the only thing I've watched on ITV for about eight years, apart from the rugby world cup.

This is why you don't see much regional ITV anymore. And OFCOM reduce the regional commitment all the time.

Blame Maggie.

The only person I know who watches anything on ITV is my 60 year old mother who is an addict of corenation street. I cant remember watching anything on there since The New Statesman.

I don't know anyone who watches anything on ITV = No-one watches ITV.

Things like X Factor and Dancing on Ice not only get massive ratings but also have a big income stream from people voting.

Corrie, Emmerdale, X-Factor, I'm a Celeb, Downtown Abbey. We might mock them as crude, but they do bring in reasonable ad revenues. Their last statement to the city was a pre-tax profit of £167m.

They have made a bit of a swing back towards spending their budget on higher quality dramas, but I think they've found their reputation for low-brow is hurting their ability to attract new eyeballs.

I personally want more TV stars from the 90s getting documentary specials where they go somewhere and do something, because I really care about celebrities visiting places like what I could go to.

I know someone who was on it, she was basically told to go on a date with someone soon because she had been on too long and wasn't getting enough face time. So she had to go for the next guy regardless of whether she really wanted to.

I sometimes watch the show when I'm getting ready to go out, and can understand the appeal, but it's still really suprising the number of women I know who want to go on it. People who abhor X-Factor and Made in Chelsea and Surprise Suprise just have this sudden random adoration for Take Me Out, it's hilarious.

ITV also makes a pile of money from their production company, ITV Studios, who make programmes for the BBC, Channel 4, 5 and various Sky channels; as well as their renting out their studio space at the London Television Studios and Granada/MegaCity. Which is something the BBC also do but won't after their stupid decision to sell off Television Centre.

Yeah the girls are so randomly judgemental it's hilarious. Some guy makes a joke about his mate on the video and BAM, blackout. Feel kinda bad for the guys who get no date at all and the girls get to sing "All By Myself" like they're mocking him. Sad, and also amusing.

Saw an episode and in the video the guy's relative mentioned that he enjoyed taking baths. Which was enough for him to lose any lights he had left.

I can't understand why someone enjoying baths was a deal breaker :psyduck:.

I'll bet it's not the thing they're saying, but the tone of voice, or the expression they have whilst they're saying it.

Sometimes a perfectly innocuous word like "bath" or "delightful" or "kitten" can be rendered very creepy or odd by non-verbal signals and it's enough for a girls' brain to just go "Nope!" and smack that little light off.
