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

    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
