Hi Chawner Chums!
I just noticed that Ethan Boroian has an AT so I reckon there's room on DS for another X Factor cutie who didn't make it to the live finals on more than one attempt but made a big impression on viewers everywhere.
The massive latest news about Em is that she'll be headlining Lorraine's Kelly's Big Fat Challenge for another six episodes. That girl has staying power!
I hope this thread will turn out to be a place to celebrate Em's further progress towards stardom, and a refuge from the sizeism of the main boards for those who appreciate that "larger lovelies" have a place in the entertainment world too.

I for one will miss Emma's absence from the X Factor audition shows this year. Entertainment-wise, she brings a lot to the table.
You have to admire her guts.
Indeed I do.
Emma knows she can't rely on her looks or her background to get a foot in the door, but that doesn't stop her trying to squeeze through anyway.
Less than three weeks to go!:) Wonder how many stone she'll drop this time round???
Em's twitter is #emmaxfactor.
How much did she manage the first season? I recall seeing a figure for the entire family in one of the red tops, but I don't think it was broken down into pounds per Chawner.
Not sure I would credit the numbers coming from the tabloids in any case—they're nothing but inventive when it comes to the Chawners. There was a report once that they were all living together in a car. Can you imagine?
A caravan, maybe...
Em went from 19 stone to 15 stone 3 lbs!
She also took herself off benefits last Nov.
No one can deny that she's turning her life around!
So true.:(
When Emma appeared at the Christmas lighting in Leeds last year it was reported that she sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."
But she actually sang "Silent Night!"
There's a huge difference!!!

It's great to hear Simon saying they all make him proud to be British!:)

Can't wait to see Em go under hypnosis!:D
Truth be told, I'm wondering if it may be time for Emma to strike out on her own. She's the only one who's keeping to a diet, and her sister Samantha actually sounds annoyed by it!:mad:
Em's parents have never been the best role models, and it seems like a massive challenge for her to keep making progress if she stays at home.
I'm guessing that Lorraine Kelly's second series with the Chawners will do better. What do you think?
Episode 6 (with slimmed-down Em singing at Christmas in Leeds), will be re-broadcast next Mon.
Doesn't surprise me in the least. Dannii is popular among people who post on DS; most of the public at large could give a toss. This, after all, is a woman who would go so far as to have a child to keep her job as a talent show judge for one last season. She is, by all accounts of those who have had the misfortune to work with her, a vile c**t of a human being.
Whether it's because they're the "most hated family in Britain" or the "fattest family in Britain" or because people have enjoyed watching Emma lumber onto the X-Factor stage, the Chawners have managed to lodge themselves in the public consciousness. Love them or loathe them, it's hard not to watch them.

Mostly the usual nastiness but some good comments.
I can't find the link quickly that dates it to November (I'll keep looking), but in this article Samantha says they have both stopped claiming so they can't be called "scroungers" anymore.

There's also a photo of the Chawners in togas at this link!
Everyone needs to see the toga shot.
Everyone.
Can't wait to see how many more jump on the bandwagon with the new series starting Tues.
Hope you get better soon, Em!
Now that auditionees have the advantage of auto-tune, Emma should be given a third chance. She might go far!
