X Factor 2014

[aquarius moon]

Picked my top 3 already.

As for tonight's farce? No comment!

The X Factor makes me realise how much I miss AC.

She'd never admit it but I think she was just as addicted as me.

Maybe he who killed her off could bring her back for the final?!

Ashley Cole?

Apparently a new show will shortly be hitting our screens dedicated to the joys of watching paint dry. Doubtless it will be a huge success.

But not quite as popular as the show dedicated to watching those who are watching the show about paint drying. I believe its to be called 'Gogglepaintbox'...

Not really a fan but did watch last night.

It was indeed a farce. Do not remember in the past the selection system with the seats. ??

Simon Cowell seems to run the show.

Understand the judges do not wear ear-pieces and do not get directions from the shows producers. Yeah ??

.. oh and the Pope is not a Catholic.

I'm sure he will def be watching this series.

I got quite in to it for about 3 years, but last year I hardly watched and this year I can't bring myself to watch a minute.

I do actually quite enjoy the early audition stages if I'm honest with myself. The newish boot camp format is awful though.

Judge's Houses makes me want to roast bunnies alive and the main show makes me lose the will to live.

It's almost bearable if you read the Guardian Live Blog at the same time though.

[Loz]

I have to say, the Guardian live blog of the X-factor is a joy to behold.

Yer.. I sort of like the early stages with all the bad auditions. :)

The rest just drags on too long. but is done to make 10s X 1000's ?s ?M's in fact in phone call votes.

I believe watching it whilst undergoing Root-Canal Treatment makes the programme more bearable.

Problem is 12 weeks of root-canal treatment is very expensive.

So I just go to the pub.

I love the way she gets really obsessive about weird details, like Louis' total lack of wit or humanity, nicole's insanity gary's beard length etc...

[Loz]

There's a guy who does it as well (Stuart Heritage) who is otherwise a truly dire writer, but is totally in his element here. Laugh out loud funny.

[El Pibe]

of course, Stuart Heritage, maybe i was getting it mixed up with another of the live blogs.

[El Pibe]

nicely reflects my main issue with x-factor that it sells bad ideals and is less escapism than making people feel bad about their normal lives.

for once there was something worthwhile in the comments "X-factor is just a gap year from Argos"

aw I really quite like Stuart Heritage (although I haven't bought the Guardian since I turned 30*), I follow him on twitter (waves to quids).

agree with AQ, I miss AC too. Especially her unique, incisive outlook on life and fabulous cookery tips.

*round about the time Corn Laws were implemented.

[Seabag]

I love the X-Factor

And if you don't, well just go f-UKIP yourself

Now that the niceities are over, i'm going to focus hard on the talent. Tho i've missed a few shows, due to work commitments of late, so i'm on catch up

As for Ac, she's on a path to recovery, i'm told by my source. Get well soon Annette, the finals are coming.

Give her my love & tell her I'll be eagerly awaiting her comments during the live shows!

There's too many of them at the moment - like flies buzzing around the dungheap.

The 'you're at weeeeeebleeeeeey' (arena, ahem) has been a trial though. A masterclass in US-style clunky-editing, zooming-in on hapless acne-ridden proles whooping on demand, desperate pantomime drama - and that stupid finger pushing the fader up.

Judges Houses and the first few live shows always a winner though, followed inevitably by the two month slow ride round the ITV u-bend and down into the stinking sewer below.
