    Sir Elton John has launched a stinging attack on reality television and EastEnders.

    The 63-year-old singer criticised TV talent shows for the poor standard of contestants and then turned on EastEnders for being full of "misery".

    When asked what gets on his nerves, John told ShortList: "Reality TV shows. I really hate them. Full of f**king mediocre f**king wannabes."

    He went on to add: "We see enough misery in the newspapers every day without having to tune in to some poor c**t boiling an egg in EastEnders and having his f**king head chopped off because his wife doesn't like him.

    "Oh f**k off, there's so much misery around. F**k off. We're addicted to misery in this country. F**king EastEnders."

    just did a quick view figures for late half of last year and beginning of this year.. Corrie pulls in more viewer every week than EE does.. except on the live shows last year.. EE got 16 + million, Corrie got 12 + million (figures on BARB)

    So either voting was fixed or just more viewer of EE has access to internet than Corrie ones or as I said earlier.. EE fans are voting with multiple email addresses... I have a feeling that the viewer of Corrie are more in the older age catagory which might explain the lack of online votes from them...

    I thought I would post in here again, as unfortunately I still haven't got back into EastEnders. I feel like it hasn't made much improvement since 2010 when I originally posted this thread. I have stopped watching, but I do catch the odd episode here and there to see if it's improved and I read the spoilers to see if anything catches my eye.

    I caught Zainab's exit the other week as I think she's been a great character on the show, but I thought her exit was really disappointing. Why didn't they kill her off? It would have created some much needed excitement! I find the show just trudges along these days, as a non event. I caught the Christmas Day episode and I thought it was the worst ever.

    I haven't watched EE for about 6 months and can't say I miss it - whenever I see the odd bit of an episode now I cringe at the poor acting and writing.
