Poll: Do you read spoilers??

[amethyst]

<FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial" SIZE=2>I've read spoilers for every comp since Nagano. I admire those who can be strong and avoid them, it's exciting to learn the results while watching! But it's also fun to read them and know right away. Some people choose to spoil (meaning read spoilers) for only certain types of competitions or certain time frames.

I try not to read them but then I fing myself reading the results!!;)

[Skatekwan6]

I used to only look at them for fun competitions, but now I'm making an effort to not look at all. It just makes it all more exciting.

i like to know the result ahead of time in order for me to enjoy the program. it's hard to enjoy it when my hand are sweaty, heart is beating 120 mph .

[mk4ever]

i don't read it often, i just try finding the results myself;)

my answer-sometimes:)

[Mordecai71]

<------hanging head

I admit it......I read all spoilers! I know its bad for me, but I can't handle NOT KNOWING the results. I become a nervous wreck!!! Do I need to seek professional help??? ;)

[amethyst]

Mordecai, if you do need professional help it looks like you're in good company (myself included!!) :)

[amandadupre]

For major comps like Nats, Worlds, and Oly...and even the grand prix I never look at who one...but I check for comps like Keri Lotion and stuff...usually b/c they won't be aired for weeks later.

[Hadas]

i *always* look at spoilers! I just can't help myself!

[Artec262]

I can't live without spoilers. If I watch a competition live I might have a heart attack.

[EvgeniNaomiFan1234]

yes I usually do

[amethyst]

The Nationals ladies LP is going to be shown LIVE this year - I don't know how I can stand the stress!!! Hmm, but I wonder if it's only live on the East Coast. I may still be reading spoilers.

[Corbon91]

Yes, I have to know as soon as the info is available. :)

[Smellysu]

I'll read the Spoilers if I think there's a fair chance it won't be shown on tv. For instance, I knew about the sp at the GPF because I doubted they'd show it on ABC. I was dying to know about the rest, but I went off-line to preserve the suspense. And I plan to spoil for the qualifying rounds at Worlds, since there's no way that will be shown on tv.

Unlike many of you, I love the almost-heart-attack feeling of watching a competition unspoiled. I love it, love it, love it. It's all about the adrenaline for me. (Keep in mind that I'm the freak who refuses to read the backs/jackets of books because doing so might ruin the plot for me.)

[peglewis]

One of the things that I love about the internet is the immediacy of access to news. I want to know what is happening as it happens, and the results just as soon as they're known in the arena.

I admit I'm weak and it's off season, so this is the closest thing to news on figure skating.

[TAF2984]

sometimes.

[Kwadruple]

I only read spoliers for practice reports and competitions that will not be aired. I checked spoliers for this years qualifying round at worlds because i didnt think that they would show it.

[Jacalyn]

I read all spoilers because I can't wait to hear about any information on Michelle.

I especially read all competition spoilers, because then I am able to enjoy her performance.

[HamiltonBrowningFan]

I don't tend to read spoilers unless it takes a while to see it on tv... and by then... others have heard the results... and the discussions are stale...

now... come Feb... I may read the spoilers so I don't have a nervous breakdown waiting to see who beats who!
