Am I the only person to think that contestant Nick Hell and his interesting corset-wearing assistant/partner looks like he is very much of the bdsm persuasion? Does anyone here know Nick and his partner? Are they on IC? Enquiring minds wish to know. There may be more than one way to skin a cat - but there is only one try per cat. | |

Could be, but who knows - I've seen acts like these so often, having stretched lobes is not really a talent, and their act isn't that new either. I still want to get them through, just to spite the judges, what a boring lot!

I dunno, I would quite like the girl with the violin to go though. She's amazing. | |

Brilliant, entertaining show. Long live Variety, Music-hall, Vaudeville. Dead..? Hope not, no, no... The silky-smooth soothing voice of reason and logic. (You WILL feel much better and speak far more sense while you're very securely tied-up...) | |

When Nick Hell came on I just had to look away. I can't stand watching that sort of stuff and my buzzer would have been pressed the minute his name was mentioned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |

This thread has made me realise my knowledge of popular culture is non existent. Is this a good thing or a bad thing though as I have no idea? M Space travels in my blood. And there ain't nothing I can do about it. | |

Whatever things he displayed, talent wasn't one of them. Breaking a plate with a pickaxe isn't that skilled a pursuit, neither is lifting things with parts of your body. Science, the only religion that works even if you don't believe in it. | |

You know, that Susan Boyle is a good singer, but did anyone else think that she just injects no emotion into what she's singing about? Memory is a song that I love, and I've sat there in tears when I've heard it sung before. But last night? Nothing. No emotion at all. I don't understand what the fuss is about, just because she's ugly? There's better singers out there IMO... | |

Me too; I'm deeply ignorant of whole areas (including an almost complete ignorance of football and most sports; also motor cars, drug culture and most of what's on TV). A bit of popular culture does help when making links / conversation with people for whom that is culture, and I miss it from that pov. Apart from that I don't think it's a good or a bad thing to be ignorant of popular culture, assuming you have some interest in other less popular aspects of culture. (There's a whole interesting debate to be had about whether or not there is such a thing as "high" culture and how a good socialist like me can believe that there is indeed such a thing, and - if it is conceded that there is - about whether we can distinguish, and if so how. But probably not for a BDSM site.) Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/226772/ | |

There is an element, with some of the acts who have got through to the semi finals, that they haven't got there on talent, they have got there because they are better than expected. Science, the only religion that works even if you don't believe in it. |
