I'm FEKKIN lovin watching this "it" show this year


It's great stuff, makes winter way more bearable


Hey on that note: I made blackberry whisky tonight in preparation for 'the big red and white guy down the chimney' day.


(not Eric Pickles btw DC) tho that would be funny

It has become crueler, almost a parody of itself


The auditions are almost Karaoke versions of the previous auditions


Eventually it will evolve into a woman with an afro, finger tapping the mic, whilst modulating her range between high and low


And a boy band with guys side stepping in and out of a revolving circle, pumping the words "Wass up, wassup" into a microphone


The judges will feature the Honey Monster and the kids from the Rice Crispy packet, hosted by a Monster Munch & no one will even flinch



Still meanwhile of that, i'm still watching

When does this start?! I can't wait!


Thoughts on this year:


Bringing back 'the room' audition was a good idea. Never liked going straight to the audience of gawping munters and their ludicrous edited-in expressions of UTTER SHOCK - like aliens just landed on the stage and did the hokey-cokey.


My favourite new element is the close-up of 'the finger' sliding the fader up on the mixing desk. Probably attributed to Simon Cowell in the credits - along with everything else.


I think there were actually far fewer cringey comedy entrants this year weren't there? - which I think is down to ITV's heartwarming new policy of excluding the mentally ill from auditions this year.



Not that I'm watching it, of course.

To be fair they're the only two with any modicum of talent, at least as far as tedious karaoke fest competitions go.


I liked Abi too, but there was something horrible about her attempts to appease a format that in no way suited her own talent.


She'll be fine, she won't conquer the world but if she can put out some of her own work with a bit of integrity then I'll look forward to seeing her play at the Union Chapel.

I want to like Rough Copy, but have yet to be particularly impressed by a performance. They seem like good lads though. Sam Bailey is good, but if she wins, she'll never be heard of again. Someone like Hannah may stand a chance of going further if she wins...

They're all a pretty forgettable bunch.

But then I thought that of One Direction, so shows what I know.


Tamera has potential to do well, ie she's young, gullible, malleable, will sign the worst contract Syco offers and is pretty and skinny with a nice bum.

She can even sing, though not convinced that's a prerequisite.

Hannah & Tamera won't win because they don't have enough public support.


I'm still going for Rough Copy to win, Sam Bailey 2nd.


When I said 'fix' I was referring to the bottom two, not the fact that Sam went.


Heaven forbid that Louie goes into the final 4 weeks with all of his acts remaining. So conveniently 2 of his boys were in the sing-off.


Tamera was in the bottom two a few weeks ago. On Saturday her performance was so weak, plus she forgot her lyrics.

Definitely bottom two contender again. Miraculously she escaped.

Simon C has said on numerous occasions that she has the most potential & is the only one of the finalists with a future. As soon as she is voted off, he will sign her up anyway but obviously wants to keep her in as long as possible.


Enough said really.

I dunno, call me naive, but I'd have thought it would be difficult for them to fix the votes after controversy about phone polls a few years ago.


I don't think there are any fixes in x factor.


The fact Tamara forgot her words probably gained her votes. I think before, she was coming across a bit over confident, that nade her more human.

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.
    • hallo, Do you have a suitcase for a student going to Ghana to teach sports? Taking a parachute, cones, mini hurdles, batons and dodge balls and a pump, then leaving it there for the school If I could have any old suitcase please it would be amazing! Thank you

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
