Max….whilst I’m happy for you that you have cleaned-up on this audio-visual tripe, I more concerned about your mortal soul.
One day, your maker will undoubtedly ask the question "Did you watch X factor?", and then what will you do?
Short-term fiduciary gain is one thing……….an eternity surfing the lake of fire is quite another.
It would have to be a rap number, for I am humbly white trash.
I take it from the responses above that none of youse can actually do anything .. not even play the spoons ??
I can pick four winners at Leicester yesterday at 8-1 12-1 15-2 and 10-1 without knowing any form. Is that a talent
I’d rather stick my head down the toilet than watch anything Saturday night TV can offer
What a visual picture that paints!
I’d pitch the idea to ITV1 – you’d get a whole series out of that.

Reality tv shows usually make me cringe, but I find the X Factor quiet entertaining, its one of the best comedy shows on tv, and the American version has me in convulsions of laughter, their so full of confidence our American friends they make total fools of themselves and their reaction to the judges when they tell them of their lack of talent is priceless.
I only watch the show on a sunday morning [repeat} as I have better things to do on a saturday, like going to the local to watch the racing and get sloshed.What about the plonkers who were on last on this weeks show the group with the woman crying "i used to like you simon " and "youve upset my wife". Oh i so wanted them to win the show and buy all there records they were so cool(!) all the young people would love them.
…and the forty-nine year old produce tester from South Wales whose object in life was to "make people around her smile through singing".
Not only couldn’t she warble a single coherent note, her frozen, rictus-like smile was so chilling, she must have been specially summoned from the bowels of some hidden pit village asylum. I’ve seen horror films with less visceral impact. I was petrified from the moment she made her appearance and judging by the panel, so were they!
Other than that, it was a bit dull last night. Could go the way of the latest Big Brother, this one.
If it starts to get dull one of them will make some publicity for themselves….. hang on wasn’t Sharon Osbourne’s brother telling all in the papers and Danni Minogue dating a contestant…yep must be getting dull.
I would agree with you, Steve, but I reckon the real magic on this show comes from the contestants.
Not the circus freaks seeking their five minutes of fame in lieu of a life in a travelling show – but the talent. And I thought apart from the Ella Fitzgerald lookalike, they were pretty average on Saturday. Last year was vintage, so we might be in for an average autumn.
Danni Minogue could be caught in a church fornicating with a stray moose for all I care. But I do see your point about Cowell’s approach.
I am very ashamed to admit it but I’ve been watching the X Factor and there was a woman on their who claimed to be an apprentice jockey. I didn’t recognise her and the panel laughed when she said it as she looked to "tall" to be a jockey and Louis and Sharon were ordered to leave the room. Was she really an ex-jock or a plant by the production team as suggested on another forum? I felt very sorry for her, although she couldn’t sing more like whisper….
If I had an Ayr Gold Cup contender she wouldn’t have been my first choice to take the saddle.
I too had to laugh along with Louis and Sharon … I suspect that they were laughing because of the woman’s size. Perhaps she was an apprentice jockey on a shire horse
and that old guy who danced from side to side while singing! and that really rude girl with a really bad attitude how can they think they have talent
