Reality TV show finals: You decided

On Thursday, I asked you, the Organ Grinder community, to decide which reality TV show final I should live blog on Saturday. Should it be BBC1's Oliver! search, I'd Do Anything, or ITV1's dancing dog fest Britain's Got Talent?

This of course threw up a lot of discussion, some of it even constructive and encouraging.

However, this was always going to be a hard question as there are a lot of people out there who love one show and hate the other and even more people who hate them both.

But seeing as we have come this far and I have, like a martyr, given up my Saturday evening for the good of reality television, we are going to press ahead.

So, I have decided to attempt to live blog them both (although I did prefer the suggestion of one wag, that will be you FentonRedbush then, that I live blog the pub instead).

Seeing as the schedulers have done some nifty foot work and only 10 minutes of the two shows overlap, this should be possible, although of course four hours chained to my laptop in front of the telly may have the result of pushing me over the edge.

Barring any nervous breakdowns, however, I shall be here, from 6pm on Saturday, starting with BBC1's I'd do Anything and going right through to 10pm and the end of Britain's Got Talent.

I shall not be live blogging Britain's Got More Talent on ITV2.

As this will be quite a marathon, I must warn you now that the blog may be a little more slapdash than Anna and Heidi's usual sterling efforts with The Apprentice, and I may have to nip out for loo breaks and booze top ups as well as the odd lie down in a darkened room.

But I shall be here between 6pm and 10pm, and I hope you will be too (at least for some of the time). It gets lonely if you're not.
