Who the hell watches crap like The X-factor or Strictly come dancing?

[Gandalf]

X-factor is shit -end of. I can't believe this is ending as "oooh miles, x-factor" is okay it's just that's you don't respect your wife. Absolute bollocks.

Crappy TV show, for boring twatty middle aged people and their kids.

Miles, surely you read the number of threads on here from posters who watch these tv shows. So when you are making broad statements like all people who watch them are dull and stupid, have to realize what it is suggesting? Then get surprised when people push back a bit...and then play the victim card? I'm beginning to think you are trolling now, or losing the plot.

I've watched Strictly Come Dancing, but, I would tune in and watch absolutely fuckin anythin that featured this fine lady. The filthy eastern euro chic hair is just on the money to finish.....

I watch X Factor sometimes and IMO, Matt Cardle is a poor man's Plan B, Cher would get eaten alive by the American rappers. They say her style is new, no its not. The American rapper's have been doing it for ages.

And Rebecca Ferguson tries to be like Aretha Franklin, but she fails. Although she is probably the best singer on there.

But i liked the other two fellas better, i knew they'd never win. Because that style of singing is out of fashion now. But i like older songs better than the rubbish now anyway, so they were right up my street.

The one's im on about are Paija Richardson, John Adeleye.

Me & the wife want Matt to win. He's the most passionate singer out the bunch. Sounds like a sort of Thom Yorke type singer. Does the falsetto notes well, comes across as very sincere in his singing. Could cover a lot of styles.

One Direction are gonna win it though. No doubt in my mind. My wifes mate works for HMV and she's been sworn to secrecy not to tell but last week HMV were instructed ( or contracted, whaever) by ITV to arrange a couple of promotional store visits for One Direction during finals week... Remember, this was arranged LAST WEEK

Not only that but the Producers of the show switched the format of the show to save Cher Lloyd when it became apparent that she was the *EDIT* LEAST favourite contestant. (Every other year the least contestant(s) get told by the host if they are leaving... This year there was a sing off so the 'judges' got a say).

The show is a complete fix! Entertaining.... But when you are dealing with peoples lives at the expense of entertainment, it's pretty bad.

Yeh, a complete fix! Simon manufactured a way to get Cher into the final instead of Mary. Dannii has supported Mary all the way through and criticized Cher most of the way through...Mary totally outsings Cher (bearing in mind Dannii always says she will vote for who performs best in the 'Sing off") and she somehow then votes for Cher. Me and my missus have predicted just about every step of the show (as most people with a brain have) Dannii was under instructions to keep Cher in - 100% !!

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Yeah I was fully expecting Dannii to vote for Mary tbh. But that would of taken it to deadlock and like I say, the judges changed the format of the show for a reason

Also, Chers song was a bit of an apology to Dannii IMO after the way she belittled Danni on Saturdays show... The words: ''I may have made it rain, Please forgive me, My weakness caused you pain, And this song's my sorry''.

I mean why else would Dannii talk about heartstrings? It was defo an apology. Cher needed the majority of the judges on her side and Dannii seemingly fell for it

Bullshit. The producers already ensured Cher's safe passage
