Aw, sorry you got spoiled Nicole

I'm also inclined to avoid promos and sneak peeks so that I can save everything for the ever-shortening episodes

Yeah, if I catch a promo while I'm watching TV, fine, but I very, very rarely watch a promo online. And I never watch the sneak peeks.

Whether or not I watch sneak peeks varies from show to show, and it's not like there are set rules I follow for myself... With Big Bang, basically after I stopped going to the tapings, I just decided I wanted to watch new episodes as unspoiled as possible.

If you want to stay unspoiled for the finale - you should avoid IG - or probably all social media.
And to be on the safe side, stay away from the internet

Oh darn. I was so good at no longer looking up the TR and let myself be surprised during the past year and as soon as someone says "Don't go there to avoid being spoiled" I have to know what this is about. So yeah, I just got spoiled and it's entirely my fault.

It was my fault too. It probably was too early this morning. Someone on IG wrote, "spoilers below". The spoiler was hidden on my device, but I accidently clicked on it

I didn't see anything on tumblr this time around. IG has gotten worse tho when it comes to Spoilers.

I've only been spoiled for the finale and I've been tagging everything meticulously. It's not that hard I don't get why people have to be idiots about it.

Thanks for the warning

Thankfully, I haven't seen anything spoilery so far, but I'll still be more careful from now on till the episode airs

Until today I can't believe, that I wasn't spoiled with the Gollum moment from season 8. I mean I knew there would be a break-up but that Cliffhanger really took me by surprise. And that WOW feeling was so great, it made me staying away from the TRs since that day.
That doesn't mean I'm not completly unspoiled, I often catch some tidbits of an episode but I can live without TRs now and my fandom live is less stressful now

For me it has helped that I pulled away from "fangirling" TBBT after the season finale last year. I started rematching an old show from 15 years ago I enjoyed, then I let myself be caught up in the Gilmore Girl revival fangirl mood and currently I really enjoy watching "The Catch" even if there are only 2 episodes left and it is fairly unlikely that the show will et renewed for a third season as the overall ratings are okay, but not terrific.

I feel like now I can enjoy watching the show much more since I'm no longer searching the internet for every piece of news or every new pic on IG.
