I can't stand the endless crying
Not watching it this year, but I think it creepy how EVERY time they go to the finalists houses for a supposedly 'surprise' visit, the whole family is always in, and always right next to the door

The sob stories are bad enough, but it's not a music contest. Even when it gets past the drivel to people who are actually good singers, none of them are going to bring anything new to the music industry, apart from much more repetition, and much more money for the anonymous pop song writers. It makes for passable telly, but it's just perpetuating a cycle of chart rubbish.
Sorry, grumpy-old-man syndrome!

It's because if said relation actually wins, there'll be LOTS of money to go round by new year. That's clearly worth standing by the front door for a few weeks, isn't it?

XFACTOR IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A LOAD OF POO.
Seraiously, it's just crap served up on a plate.

Austin in the boys category - never seen a guy cry so much.
Can't remember her name, but the young blonde girl who sings with a funny accent and has freckles?
She's got an amazing voice, regardless if she wins or not i'm pretty sure she'll end up with some form of contract. She's got a really unique voice, i love it.

Are Bad Lashes all legal? I've been having bad thoughts.

Tefal girl really should have gone through, I can only believe she didn't make it as she wasn't 'pretty' enough for the marketing people.
Whoever goes through it'll result in yet more dull ballads that have all been done better before, and a guaranteed Xmas no 1.

xfactor? When can we finally ban this crap on tele. Strictly come dancing.... the glut of garbage on tele makes me wonder why I have a TV for watching the news and Question Time.

The sob stories really p me off, they all have a sob story and then say "ooh but i dont want any sympathy" yeah right

Bah, T.V.'s been going downhill for a while, the only thing I find worth watching are Mock The Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Top Gear (during the scant few weeks it's on each year) and The Wire, although I watch that on DVD. Also, I watched the pilot of that Breaking Bad that's just started on FX, and that seems quite promising.
Although I do have the occassional glance at the X-Factor this year as I'd tap either Holly Willoughby, Cheryl Cole or Dannii Minogue.

I agree, why would you bring up such sob-stories if it wasn’t for the sympathy vote.
Also another thing that annoys me with this car-crash TV is the crying and sobbing, it seems to be that no matter if they win and get through to the next round or if they are kicked into touch, the thing to do is to sob and cry your eyes out - this does not make for good TV in my eyes.
