X Factor

[Chubbs]

It does and it doesn't. It's a talent contest but at the same time it's the public who put the contestants through. Someone's voting for them.

If people who watch are annoyed that they're still in the competition then they're really annoyed with the format of the programme itself.

that someone is the whole of ireland...fair play to the lads, a lot of people would have thrown in the towel by now, even if they have been put through to the next rounds, the amount of stick they get isnt really fair,
and as sam says, it makes a mokery out of the show, keep em in i say

Well, the whole of northern Ireland. ROI residents can't vote.

Either way, impossible though it is, wouldn't it be brilliant if Cowell had to hand them a record contract for winning. Sadly I think they'll be gone this week or next.

[Bogus Dave]

Irish people can't vote can they?

[Simon Pieman]

Yup. Get rid of the totally flat "fly me to the moon" guy. And shoot Stacey, she's like Janet Street Porter on speed whenever she talks.

Is that the Essex bird? She does a weird gasping for air thing when she talks.

Louis Walsh has been told that if John and Edward stay in this week another member of Boyzone gets it.

I have a new gripe with the X factor... or Sky+... I'm not really sure, but when you walk into a room and your housemate has paused a close up of Cheryl Cole's face/rack and he's wanking on your preferred sofa, you need to be annoyed at something

[The Grim Reaper]

I would so love to wank over Cheryl Cole's rack...

So, did you finish him off?

[Samdy Gray]

He sat down and joined him.

[Batch]

Did he get a hob nob out and lay down a biscuit challenge?

You lot are ming!! hahahaha!

Really wound me up this weekend - Prob cause I watched it live rather than on Sky plus so had to sit through the whole show - I always find big band week REALLY boring - Never mind those bloody twins - get rid of all the shit boring people like Rachel and Lloyd - they are never gonna win it - they should be in the bottom 2 not Daniel!!!!

Does anyone else think Stacey reminds them of a creature comforts animal?? Its her funny mouth!!

[Bob's Orange]

I can't understand how people genuinely find this programme entertaining? Its effectively a glorified karaoke evening unneccesarily spread out over months and months. The end product being an individual or group that can't write songs or play any instruments clogging up the charts with utter dross.

I would be tempted to watch if the contestants had to write their own songs and play some instruments, at least show some sort of talent other than singing watery Boyzone covers.

Each to their own and all that but this shows popularity baffles me, I would rather watch youth hostelling with Chas and Dave.

I enjoy seeing peoples dreams smashed live on TV and the emotion that follows from these hollow deluded fools.  That and Cheryl’s rack of lamb.

I nearly wet myself when that potato headed Eoioinoin (sp) ran onto the stage in tears during the last series when the permanently nasally congested Diane Vickers was booted off.

All in all it’s a load of bollocks but makes for good background noise.

[Ginginho]

I can't really explain why I enjoy it, it's weird, as I don't give a shit who goes, or who wins, and have no intention of ever voting or buying the winners albums.
But I can't stop watching it.
