See, I just don't find it entertaining at all. Toe-curlingly embarassingly bad, maybe. But I find watching really bad performances incredibly uncomfortable in general.
Yes, I felt like that watching Ann last week. But it was much more fun this week.
I was giggling from the moment Anton sat up in the dry ice fog and yelled "Anne!"
I don't particularly like some of her views either, but she is now a retired politician, and out to have some fun (as she said on Breakfast). Everyone ought to have some fun. I guess for me she's just the right side of bad to be funny. Like Les Dawson on the piano - although of course to do that sort of bad, you have to actually be pretty good to start with, so it's a different sort of joke.
I find Brucie much more cringeworthy. Last night he told a joke about one of the competitors (Pam?) saying she didn't want to get inside his head, because she was agrophobic. Cue Audience laughing, because they've got it, instantly. But he shushed them, and then delivered the 'punchline' - "because inside your head is such a wide empty space".... And the audience had to try and laugh all over again. An entertainer who still had it (did he ever, I've never liked him) would have just cut it short on the laugh.
Alas, I don't suppose he'll retire until the chap with the scythe comes for him, and perhaps neither Heaven or Hell are prepared to book him for eternity...
