Anyone care about X-Factor? No? Good.

If you did i'd make another sticky, but since you all hate BB as much as I do, i'd hope you'd hate X-Factor even more, since it is afterall, worse in every way.

I hate that damn show, it's awful. Bunch of talentless losers getting a contract the only way they can, by showing up at some free audition to win a contract.

The only 2 who have proved they've got talent and therefore staying power, and Will Young and the incredibly fine members of Girls Aloud. And they weren't even X-Factor winners. What have the X-Factor winners done?

Chico's in Butlins but that's about the only one who I know who does anything, and that's only 'cause Butlins is that crap they think that advertising that they have Chico is a good thing.

Most of it's fake anyway. Stories are given and numbers are altered. If they gave each contestant 10 mins like they claim, and even if only 100,000 people entered, it'd still take them several years to see everyone. And there's even more lies to it than this.

a woman at works daughter went for it. there are 6 rounds before you face the panel in the televised "first round". she got thought the first one. and that was it. they don't tell you why you get picked or not.

do i watch the show? no. but since my co-workers include a large number of middle aged ladies i will no doubt get a blow by blow account, with large dollops of speculation about who is gay. joy of joys. < ok, i need a smiley banging its head on a wall to insert here>

I'm the only one in my house who doesn't, so I know how you feel. At least you don't stay at work 24/7

I have to live here so I have no choice

I don't know why people go mental if someone is gay or not, so what? He's gay and in X-Factor, wow, that really matters. Him being gay must mean he's, he's, into men and nothing else what so ever

they don't do it in a nasty way. its just the gossiping thing.

'do you think he's gay?'
'oh, he so is'
'but hes married'
'yeah, but straight people don't walk like that.'
'hes got 3 kids'
'so dose Michal barymore'

and so on and so on. FOREVER.

Another hater of the show here. So much of it is staged (No pun intended!), and the whole thing just comes across as over-commercialized waffle (The less said about "Let's release the single on Christmas No.1 week!", the better ¬_¬). Not even the silly auditions can save it.

Totally agree.

BTW, learnt how to multi-quote

I'd been clicking the MQ link, then clicking the White boxes in the corner of every reply thinking that was how it was done. Wonder if that's a mod thing then for when I need to split/merge posts???
