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

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
