I shouldn't imagine there are that many X Factor fans round here, but I HEART it!

I love the crazy opening weeks and some shocking car crash telly all the way through to the finals :cool:

anyone else?
 
Good man!

There's a big "Strictly..." contingent round here, so I think us X Factor bunch are thin on the ground!
 
Yes, I love it, but the schmaltz has me shaking my fist at the camera.

This year I'm going for the following:

AIDS
Cancer recovery
Dead child (yes, that's right, I went there)
Deaf
 
I think that there are more than you'd suppose.

I'm a big fan of the early rounds. Less so of the live shows but by then they've hooked you so you stick around and swear at the screen when you disagree with whats happening.

Hmm dead child. I think we might have a break from dead people but then its always a good money spinner for the phone votes so who knows.

How about someone with Tourettes?
We've had it on Big Brother but not X Factor yet.

Don't forget the mother with a trouble history who needs a break for the her deprived child.
 
you see they have changed the format this year for the earlier rounds, singing to audiences as well as the judges from the off. Looks like the Britain's Got Talent format is creeping in.

At least we get to see Dannii, oh yes, Dannii, hmmmmmmm

We should all play X-Factor schmaltz bingo - you know, ticking off when someone comes on cos their dead nana sent them a message from heaven to audition, or the paramedic who auditions cos of the child dying in their arms told them to do so etc etc :D
 
I only like the early rounds, when the hopelessly deluded get their hopes and dreams crushed.

Not so bothered about the karaoke exhibition of the later rounds.

It's fortunate really that only the talented ones have suffering rellies.

Karaoke exhibition? :mad: Are you being deliberatly provocative young man? :mad:

There has been some amazing talent in the last few years. Leona Lewis being my personal favourite :cool: I'm going to listen to her album when I get home I reckon.
 
I've got an attractive black female friend who lost her leg in the army saving her sargeant from terrorists. However he died on his way to hospital but before he went he quickly scribbled an application to x-factor for her because she's had a trouble past and wants a better life for her 234 kids.

She can't sing for shit but I've got a £1 on her to make it to the live finals.

You mean sunday?

Quite often I was too hungover/still at it or sharing a bed with a moran who dominated the bedroom telly with Scraphead Challenge of a sunday morning :mad:

Thus I got into the habit of taping it, and then watching it at my hungover pleasure.

Leona swiftly loses her charm when your mental shut-in neighbour plays Bleeding Love on repeat for days on end :mad:

ROFL! :D Brilliant! You've ticked SO many schmaltz points there. The terrorists are a particularly good touch :cool:
 
I'm so sad that even though I series link it sometimes I'd rather be in on a Saturday night than out and missing it.

Wait till the News of the World exposé though.

Just when she gets to the final they will reveal that she is in fact a middle ages accountant called Brian who has never been in the army and has been strapping his folded back leg up his trousers. The kids he refers to are in fact 234 star wars figurines.

I've been to an x-factor final party in a pub with friends and we had a house party afterwards so yea I'm 'wise' enough to be up for that.
 
Well that's my Saturday nights sorted out till Christmas. :cool:

TV has been dire lately.

Aren't the results of the live shows on Sunday this year?
