Tom's calling me a female reveals his ongoing misogyny more than it insults anyone, least of all me, not that further proof is needed. Tom really should seek therapy for his condition. Last I checked, all the signs of a full-blooded male were there, but if Tom thinks referring to me as a female will make me feel inferior, he’s mistaken. It just highlights his own unsavory attitude.
Extending "Britain’s Got Talent" (BGT) over three months and securing a new £100m TV deal offers several potential benefits for ITV:
Increased Advertising Revenue
• Higher Viewer Engagement: A longer season means viewers stay engaged longer, leading to more advertising opportunities. More episodes translate to additional ad slots and increased overall revenue.
• Online Market Growth: With over 24 billion views of clips, BGT's strong online presence attracts digital advertisers. Extended content can drive more online traffic and boost digital ad revenues.
Competitive Edge
• Rivaling Strictly Come Dancing: Extending BGT aims to make it a major competitor to BBC's "Strictly Come Dancing," enhancing ITV’s position in the entertainment segment and attracting a larger audience share.
Enhanced Viewer Engagement
• Consistent Viewer Base: Longer seasons maintain viewer engagement over a more extended period, creating consistent weekly viewership and loyalty, which helps sustain and potentially increase overall ratings.
• Higher Ratings: Already impressive ratings could rise with an extended season, attracting more viewers and increasing advertiser and sponsor interest.

• Production Investment: The new deal's increased budget can enhance production values, making the show more visually appealing and engaging, thereby attracting more viewers.

• Targeted Marketing: Better understanding of the audience can lead to more effective and targeted marketing strategies, both for the show and for advertisers aiming to reach specific demographics.

Oh dear, it looks like Tom, the womble with a grudge, has burned his fingers yet again – it's truly amusing to witness his pointless ramblings.
Attention, new investors: Be cautious of WimbledonTom's intentions to hinder ITV's progress. His main strategy involves relentless criticism of the CEO, Carolyn McCall, with nearly every post containing negative remarks about her. He often uses different aliases. Don't listen to this clown.
Oh, silly me, I forgot that clowning is indeed a sophisticated art form. So, calling Tom a clown is really unfair to clowns. There are plenty of other, more fitting words one could have used to describe this buffoon.
