Louis Walsh is making a mockery of the whole show. Picking people who can't sing, and are a little eccentric over people who really have talent.

I'm hoping Simon Cowell is thoroughly embaressed with the while thing.

It's an entertainment show. Not a talent contest. As long as they get the viewers, they'll do what they want

Yes, it is. But considering it's a singing contest, and ultimately the public will be the ones who choose tbe winner, I would say (given the responses from online networks/friends etc) he's already lost due to the people he has put through.

He is probably after a chat show of his own so is going for "The peoples" vote. The plucky idiots.

Truly horrific program IMO.

It's so formulaic these days that you can tell who's going to get through before they even sing a note at Judges' houses. Even though we all moan, we still watch it and make Cowell richer. I hate ITV, X Factor is the only thing I watch on it.

Is this ****e still going on?

I have banned both Big Brother and X Factor from our household this year, or if she really does want to watch one of them, she can p&ss off upstairs and watch it on her own.
I'm sorry, but how can anyone actually enjoy watching 'fake-reality' tv?
The first couple of years had the novelty effect, but 10 f&cking years later? Come on.

What happened with that Tai-Chi instructor / mad far eastern woman that Louis put through? She was in but then there was an announcement after that she'd had to drop out and that fat Welsh lass was in instead. Did they find out she was an illegal immigrant, was once a man or something else

I think she realised she was the new Wagner from last year. The one that got through for the comedy value.

Agree - they should have been strangled at birth........

BUT........ they are laughing all the way to the proberbial back in Ireland where they headline gigs. It's a funny old world.

I enjoy X Factor though for entertainment value. Pretty mediocre bunch this year IMHO.

True, they are very wealthy now. I just don't agree with people who are basically talentless getting rich so effortlessly while most people work very hard for what they have.

I don't watch x factor but it is amazing what you get to know about it from the papers. Can we vote off Mr Walsh?

If I'm honest, I quite like BB if there is a big fight. My big sin is quite liking Jezza K but only when they kick off and the middle class bored Uni students in the audience go nuts. I've always thought they should have rotten tomatoes and other nasties to lob at the folk on the stage.

X Factor is terrible. Hateful program. That is only watched upstairs.

Hope not, well if the outfits continue to be somewhat risqué anyway. She'd do well as an erotic entertainer if the X-Factor thing don't work out. I'd also give her a few £ to take it up the ****

She left the show because she didn't like the cameras in the house. A bit odd of ITV to gloss over it like that, I have to say.

Anybody else notice that the groups category didnt show the duo man vs woman being told if they got through or not - its all about the ratings not the actual singing I thought that Jade Richards was superb singer gutted she didnt make it

Nope, I cannot stand BB either. Utter cr&p tv in my opinion. The producers and writers really need a kick up the backside these days.

However, JK is also a secret vice of mine. Nothing like seeing a toothless inbred trying to mount an attack on Jezza, who quite rightly deserves a slap from time to time.

...... and I can never understand how they think putting together 4 or 5 people into a group, who were voted out originally because they are no good, will sound any better??

They do it every year. Just makes the 'noise' 4x or 5x times as bad if you ask me.

I'm surprised they didn't put through the girl from Scotland (dunno her name, slightly larger lass with tattoos, in the girls group).

My wifes mates sister applied for Xfactor and they had to sing infront of 2 different people before even beeing seem by the Judges - That shows how fake it is. is 2 people before the Judges put retard through then it's clearly all fixed. I've always said it's a fix.

They even edit their voices to make it sound better FFS.

Maybe Lou wants to work on American Xfactor so hoping to get the boot from this one.

The groups are so bad it's not even funny.

That Scottish lass should have gone through easily but she just doesn't have the "look".
