    “And now for them to dream up something even more exciting where they drag out some more obscure and forgotten "celebs" to learn tiddleywinks on ice or something similar . And guess what ? the masses will be enthraled on a saturday night sitting there like zombies - thinking hey ,this is on prime TV ,so it must be good .”

    “So what!!! ....I never watched it anyway,so thank god its over now.
    Maybe The Herald will start reporting real stories next week instead of a daily run down of non stories about Tom Daley....i am so sick of hearing about him,he might be a role model bah bah bah,but believe me he is NOT god

    All you trolls who click the down arrows how about you post something instead of trolling”

    “If we cared ..we'd have watched it!!!!!
    Hopefully Tango bois TV career is going to be shortlived ..well judging my the critics comments on his 'wooden ' commentary skills!!!
    Thank god this weekly obsession from the silly children who work for the Herald..or the Tom Daley Weekly!!!!! has now come to an end...”
