I couldn’t stand waiting. My DH thought I was crazy to “ruin” it for myself! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819492 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 18:05:57 +0000 Miss Ariel 2819492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate spoilers! But I'm also the person who will receive a birthday present early, but refuse to open it till my actual birthday.</p> <p>But there's a time limit to spoilers and if I'm behind, which is often lately, I'll still watch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819442 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 15:06:42 +0000 Corduroy 2819442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t seek out spoilers but honestly with my brain these days I wouldn’t remember them anyway so it’s no big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819415 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 14:06:31 +0000 Ajsmommy 2819415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Give me all the spoilers!! :silly: I totally will read the last page or scan a paragraph on the last page or chapter to get a feel for what will happen... I dont' know that I read enough to "know, know".. but I do read movie synopses, this is almost more to see if I want to invest the time or not (I don't even have time to watch the shows I want to watch)</p> <p>The only show that it has ruined for me was the bachelor/bachelorette.. simply bc I think I can put up with the crappy stuff if I don't know but when I knew I totally couldn't watch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819406 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 13:42:08 +0000 josina 2819406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do NOT read spoilers, I love the anticipation of not knowing - like Big Little Lies or Gone Girl, knowing the ending would've ruined it! (I do read the books before most movies, but I would never peak at the ending first). </p> <p>Shows like the Bachelor(ette) I go out of my way NOT to know who gets picked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819404 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 13:39:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2819404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate spoilers! @MrsRoo: I had an important Game if Thrones death spoiled for me too- though in fairness I was months behind because I had just started watching it late in the game. I held my tongue for weeks watching with DH and when that episode finally aired I exploded telling how it had been spoiled for me! </p> <p>So yeah I hate spoilers in something I care about. But if it’s somethig I am not invested in I don’t care that much. Like I watched the first several seasons of Gossip Girl then lost interest, but read a recap of the finale out of curiosity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819399 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 13:14:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2819399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t, unless it’s really stressful and I want to take the anxiety out of something. Although if I’ve been watching a show and I get spoiled (usually, like, Project Runway) I’ll still watch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819383 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 12:24:08 +0000 codeitall 2819383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally agree. I don't have time to watch tons of seasons of a show for them to finally get around to resolving the plot line! If I'm going to watch it, I want to know what I can skip!</p> <p>I will also say that I LOATHE suspense. I just can't handle it personally. It keeps me up at night thinking of all the other things that could have happened at that moment and stresses me out. I can always think of worse things than what really happens and it really turns me off on a show/movie. So I do read spoilers. If it looks good enough, I may even watch it to appreciate the artistry and writing that I couldn't have done if I was too focused on the suspense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819376 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 11:52:20 +0000 Iced Tea 2819376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t want spoilers of my favorites. If I’m invested, I want to see it with my own eyes. </p> <p>If I’m only casually watching/reading, then spoilers are fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819346 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 10:17:22 +0000 Alba4 2819346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait, you have time to watch the shows and read?! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819344 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 10:14:12 +0000 Sams Mom 2819344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No spoilers at all. My mom reads the last page in books and looks up what happens in movies before she watches them and it drives me absolutely batshit. I don't know that I wouldn't watch something because I heard/read a spoiler, but I avoid them at all costs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819343 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 10:10:49 +0000 raspberries 2819343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, I'm totally your DH and my husband is you. I hate spoilers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819332 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 09:54:36 +0000 psw27 2819332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say usually no, don't spoil it for me. But a lot of shows or movies I've already read the book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819328 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 09:45:03 +0000 Mama Bird 2819328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially for movies. I know I'm not going to see the movie anyway, but I still want to know what happens. I've only been to the movies twice in the last six years, and both times it was a huge effort to get there and I'm just not doing that again - one movie was a horrible disappointment, and I missed the start and end of the second one because apparently DS is scared of the big screen :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819325 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 09:36:10 +0000 Rocker2014 2819325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely, love spoilers! I have a very emotionally high stress job where I listen to tragic stories every day, so I'm very particular about what kinds of TV/movies I watch in my down time. I try hard to avoid anything too emotionally draining, so I rely on googling quite a bit before choosing something to get invested in viewing. I'm fine if I know the ending already, it's the getting there that's interesting to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819322 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 09:29:24 +0000 snowjewelz 2819322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love spoilers! It never ruins it for me. Esp a lot of times I get so lost just following, sometimes knowing the gist of a show/movie allows me to pay more attention to details! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819321 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 09:27:55 +0000 MrsRoo 2819321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends for me. If it’s a show that I’m really into it a movie that I’ve been looking forward to, I get really upset if someone spoils it for me! Someone spilled about an important death in GOT less than an hour after the show aired and I hid them from my FB timeline. Lol. </p> <p>But if it’s something I’m casually into, I am fine with spoilers because then I already know what’s happening so I can watch at my leisure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819318 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 09:20:28 +0000 looch 2819318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819315 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 09:07:10 +0000 Jennibenni 2819315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I never know if or when I’ll actually be able to watch something and I just don’t have the patience/self control to wait indefinitely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819310 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 08:54:56 +0000 bhbee 2819310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it but I sometimes regret it! I think as any busy mom it’s just hard to have the time to fully commit to all the watching required to get through to the good parts. So a lot of times I do check a spoiler and then later I can decide if I want to actually watch it. I can’t binge watch and stay up late anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819308 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 08:48:47 +0000 LadyDi 2819308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted “it depends.” I don’t like spoilers of tv shows or movies but when I’m reading a book I’ll often flip ahead a few pages to see what happens (i don’t usually read the end though). I didn’t even really know I did this until DH pointed it out to me while we were dating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-spoilers#post-2819302 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 08:25:31 +0000 nana87 2819302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Settle a (very silly) debate for me! </p> <p>I’m an impatient person, and I have more time to read than watch tv (hello nursing motn...) I feel a compulsion to know what happens and it doesn’t ruin things for me, I still enjoy watching a tv show or movie and watching things unfold even if I know the end game. Heck, I even read ahead in novels to the last page 😜 maybe I like preparing myself? I even read spoilers or reviews of movies/shows I haven’t watched, it helps me decide if I want to invest the time. So like, I knew the surprise ending of big little lies before starting to watch 🤷‍♀️</p> <p>Dh thinks I’m nuts, lol. He hates spoilers and will not watch something if it was spoiled because he says it was “ruined” and “what’s the point.” </p> <p>Where do you fall on this spectrum? </p>
