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.

It's not on in my home!...nor scd...or any of the soaps!

I want nothing to do with Simon Cowell and friends

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.

LOL...... that is one grumpy looking moggieThere ya go Leccy..... you didn't kill the thread after all

  Thank you Baz.

Isn't it? I found a better thread killer pic but it was a bit serial killer

I half-watch it.  I've got one eye on that and the other eye on something else.

Leccy!  That is a brilliant pic!  I will have to try and get a pic of my queen - she is evil!

well cause im stuck in and not working tonight i will be watching it just so i can talk to you lot.

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.

My MIL used to say that about my friends kid

i will catch up morrra .......... i'm just in fom a boozed up nite oot  yum , raiding my doggy bag

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.
