Am I the only one that doesn't watch 'The X Factor'?

Topics

Rawky-Roo

It seems to be a staple of many peoples Saturday nights. Literally everyone I've asked 'What are you doing tonight?' they've said 'Watching X-Factor innit'. (I may have added the 'innit' bit but I do see it as one of the 'chavviest' shows on telly).

What's worse is I've been invited to a house warming party tonight, where I've been told we are watching the x factor! What kind of party is that? Plus we are a group of (mostly) fellas!!!!!

I need to be social but I don't want to have to sit through that shite

t's getting more and more entertaining to watch them hyping up these 'huge 'stars dermot getting ever more orgasmic in his hyperbole, and then some washed up,staggering,brain numbingly tedious sleb wanders about the stage looking bewildered and out of it,squawks and shrieks for a few minutes along with a bit of dad dancing and then tries to string a couple of words together and fails miserably at that too.exits stage left, with their clothes falling apart an a barely concealed sideways lilt, hoping they make it to the wings before they either fall over or wet themselves.

i love it!

I watch the Sunday Results show. That way, I only have to sit through a few seconds of them ruining a good song. Besides, there is nothing else on in that time slot.

I'm strictly a Strictly fan!

I've never watched it apart from the odd bit I used to be forced to endure when I babysat my friends kids who loved it

Watched it once, last Christmas when Alexandra overacted when she won.

SCD for me every time.

The politics are amazing! It's an ideal programme for anyone studying Popular culture. One doesn't have to be interested in pub singers to get something out of it.

You are not alone Rawky

. I have never watched it.... except in the final last year to see what everyone was on about. However, I am sort of addicted to SCD now

I've stopped watching it.
When people have posted on this forum about certain contestants I have sometimes checked them out on YouTube or the X Factor website, but I don`t watch the programme.
It is too contrived and an insult to viewers intelligence I think. Too many artificial set-ups.
And this year, from what I have seen in clips it is a very poor standard.
Terrible singing and shouting from the back of a strangulated throat.

From what I've seen of it it's piss poor this year.

I prefer the early rounds with all the nutters.

But this year the supposed stars have been the nutters, Whitney was off her tree.

One remembers the term from coal fire days, "One eye on the pot, and one eye up the chimney!" But of course I'm older than you lot.

No, you're not alone, Rawky. I can't stand it either. If I want to watch a shite karaoke comp, I'll go down the pub for it.
