Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already on EDF but is this the worst X factor in history?

I know we finally got rid of Honey G last week, how she was actually taken to the live shows is just beyond belief but the rest of the contestants are not good at all. That Matt Terry guy is really overrated in my opinion, I did like 5AM but the more I hear them the less I like them.

Is it just me?

Am I being over critical?

LOL


I think the judges are so insincere and I didn't recognize Nicole #too-much-surgery?


And the singing? Oh dear. Then the outfits..... One looked like a Christmas Tree, but blue.

We had horror-shivers at Simon's open shirt and hairy chest.


We only had it on this Saturday to reaffirm why we don't watch it

I very much doubt it's the worst ever. It's always been total shit, but you're just getting to the point where you can't take it anymore.


I watched it (well the live shows) for a couple of years, going back a few years now. I'd even go so far as to say I enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure. But then I just couldn't be bothered with it anymore. I don't think it had dropped in quality, because it never had quality. I think I'd just had my fill.


See also The Apprentice. Used to be the only reality series I'd call myself a "fan" of (I enjoyed watching how clueless they all were). This series I just haven't been able to motivate myself to watch a minute of it. Just not interested anymore.



So basically, I think you've probably just had enough X Factor in your life.

Apprentice and X-Factor... both only worth watching for the disastrous car-crash performances, and even then the novelty wears off pretty quickly. I'm not entirely sure where tomorrow's essential musicians are hiding right now, but I suspect it's not singing Britney Spears songs on ITV.
Having had to endure X-Factor week in week out for approx 165 years, with barely any Saturday nights out during that time, Mrs. adonirum declared a few months ago "This is c**p this year", and promptly stopped watching. Believe you me, that really is a yardstick with which to measure it, so yes, it must/has to be !! (As usual, not seen it myself).

I think you are right, maybe I've mature & realised how rubbish it really is lol


You are right Beej - I do need to take back my dignity :)


Otta - The Apprentice has also got to pot, the contestants are pathetic this year. I can't understand how these ppl run their own businesses!


Think I may need to take up a new hobby!

If they had competent contestants, the programme would be really boring and even fewer people would watch it .....


It's not a real competition, is it. It's television.


Sorry to say I do still watch it, though this may be the last time. It's a tired old formula which they've tweaked a bit over the years but not tweaked enough to rekindle interest.


As for X Factor, I have never seen it apart from on Gogglebox.


Apart from not wanting to listen to crap music, the sight of Simon Cowell's smug face just turns my stomach :(


ETA: Mind you, I'm beginning to feel the same about that woman on The Apprentice. Karen Brady?

I'm sure Ive seen Honey G at one of those catawaulalongafolky things in Nunhead recently.

It's crappy Saturday TV for sure, (much like SCD and IACGMOOH)but it does make me laugh sometimes. And what with the way the world is going slightly mad, i'm good with a bit of Saturday crap TV.


But, do I care who wins?


NOPE, and once it's over I couldn't give a toss about any of it.


Now when's Britan's Got Talent on next?

Huge sigh of relief it's all over now & the winner is Matt Terry?? How did that happen?

Well I am confident to say I won't be tuning in next year after this series, but the proof will be in the pudding!

Saturday nights are free now & hopefully be used in a more productive way, maybe watching some paint dry :) lol

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
