So we get the Idol type shows here, as well as the local copycat versions. On the most recent SA Idols, apparently, a voting cock up saw to them voting in the wrong person as winner.

I say apparently because my missus and I don't watch broadcast television.

We were junkies for Idols, Big Brother, and whatever else until something happened which put things into a bit of perspective for us. From that day forward we couldn't watch anything remotely reality based without feeling ill.

That day was the 11th of September, 8 years ago.
