That’s according to a new survey from TiVo. Dan Solomon elaborates:
[Most respondents] have had their entertainment fun capsized by someone with an itchy Twitter finger – 78 percent of respondents say that they’ve had movies/TV/sports spoiled. The most common spoilers–major plot points on a TV show (64%) and character deaths on TV (56 percent) – aren’t the worst, though. 23 percent of respondents say that the worst spoilers are the final score of a sports game. In other words, “OMG, I can’t believe they killed Doyle on Angel!” might be the experience most people have had (we’re trying to keep our spoilers well outside the spoiler grace period here), but “FAVRE THAT INTERCEPTION JUST COST US THE CHANCE TO GO TO THE SUPER BOWL” after the 2007 (or 2009, take your pick) NFC Championship Game before you’ve seen the game play out is the most devastating. It can still be fun to watch how Doyle dies, but the magic of sports is in the not-knowing.
