I don't mind the girl, she's a looker and she's fairly spot on, the lad seems a bit camp and has that cocky nasal voice that the toffs in Made In Chelsea have.
I gave up on this after 2010, glad I just see it on Gogglebox and go check it out on ITV2, the show is a mess and having her as a judge - she aint fit to do the job, cut their losses get rid of show and her (or give the show a break)
I haven't watch the X Factor for years. I just got sick of all the hype surrounding it and the way the little-talented Cheryl Cole was raised onto such a high pedestal.
But I don't mind watching clips of the show on Gogglebox....as long as they carry on highlighting Cheryl's less-than-perfect moments.
The whole 'let's have a pop at Leon' is ridiculous.
Sure, some of the things he says are going to make people disagree (and you only have to look at June's face to see what she thinks...), and sometimes he definitely says things just for effect, but he may well have been a very good teacher, who was able to engage the pupils.
Just because you don't like him or his views, doesn't make him a bad person!
No, he and June are proper lefties.
They were both teachers... in Liverpool... so that figures!
Leon? Left? Apart from his "bloody jihadists" snipe, did you not see his reaction when watching the news showing the Commons vote in favour of bombing the Middle East? He was practically salivating at the prospect.

Horrible man.
Some of you have some very odd ideas about those 'on the left' that seem completely at odds with real life and history.
Yes, I agree. It was inevitable that these "ordinary people" would become celebrities in their own right. I think maybe three series maximum should be the limit to keep it fresh.
Having said that, they still come up with some hilarious lines that are obviously not rehearsed. But once they have become bigger and more well known celebrities than the people they are commenting on while watching tv, it rather takes away the point of the show.
I don't read the Tabloids or Celeb magazines, Hello, etc.
I take it the Goggleboxers are all featured in them these days, being papped while going about their daily business etc.
I haven't seen them in chat shows, panel shows or quizzes as celeb participants, but I don't watch any quizzes or chat shows, so easily could have missed them.
I'm so out of 'the loop' The Saturdays and Girls Aloud had retired before I knew they existed, only hear about these things when they're referenced in panel shows.

I think in a way X Factor is highlighted - it doesn't take someone to work out something ain't right with that show - even they worked it out! --- as mentioned previous Monica in my mind was a better singer (highlighted on Gogglebox) and you would think she will go through but Queen Tweedy moaned about the song, was more surprised the woman just walked off (I personally would) but this years X Factor has been a first I have ever seen audience booing (loudly) at arenas (bootcamp?), heard her new song also its a mess will she be performing it live this year on XF or will she mime? I was under the impression when Cheryl came back it would be pre 2009 with her but from last weeks highlight of her giving Raign a bit of a go was a bit uncalled for (as someone pointed out to me was Raign gave her attitude), I think with Gogglebox highlighting it - its better to laugh at it really as thats what XF has become anyway its needs put out of its misery

After the awful performance with Barlow, I don't think they'll let her sing live or at least not a backing track and dynamic live autotune. She doesn't have a group to cover her deficiencies anymore.
The Saturdays haven't retired yet. They are still going and doing concerts.
Oh, is an ex-member now a TV presenter.
I've got a vague recollection that some Female TV presenter came from a girl-band.
Could have been another girl-band, but those are the only two I know.

Rochelle is an occasional presenter on This Morning with her hubby Marvin. She is still in the Saturdays as well though. Marvin used to be in JLS.

I went back and watched Steph and Dom in the old episodes of "4 In a Bed" and it confirmed to me that they are a down to earth genuine couple who just happen to be well off.
Going from their ultra-luxurious B&B to a £40 per night B&B in Blackpool and getting stuck in is just what I'd expect.
Steph and Dom and Stephen and Christopher are my favourites.
During the bit about the Clooney wedding I loved the new Manchester families reaction.
At the start the bald dad said "Who gives a f*%k!".
Then, in reaction to his wife saying "Yeah, but you can still be distinguished and good looking with grey hair" he says "or no hair". And the look on his face was priceless. A Hollywood script writer could not do better.
Creased up about the Tappers getting confused about George Clooney / George Michael and who is gay.

AAAH the classic "jubillee" moment, I remember that - tuned in for less than 2 mins and she was like a squealing cat and Barlow had to save her in the end :D - we forgot that on one of the X Factor programmes they "pre-recorded" her performance so they may again get away with that. I honestly felt like she sang better in the Girls Aloud songs (this is not seeing their performances) but her songs she brings out now you can tell its weak but I guess thats what makes number 1's these days have a weak singing voice, try and be like Beyonce or Nichole Schrizinger and people will clap at it, even that awful song by will.i.am that sampled The Buggles she looked god awful "dancing" (looked more like a pre Nicki Minaj stage she went through ) http://vimeo.com/57299996
Leon? Left? Apart from his "bloody jihadists" snipe, did you not see his reaction when watching the news showing the Commons vote in favour of bombing the Middle East? He was practically salivating at the prospect.
Ummm yes, how does this suggest he is not left-wing politically?
It's a matter of record on previous series that he has strong left-wing leanings, is in favour of public ownership of utility companies (among other things) is a Labour voter, hates the tories, and despised Thatcher.
He may well favour the proposed war on Isis, which is probably a nuance that doesn't lie compatibly with his political inclinations, but guess what? That's what people are like.
Leon is jewish and was in the army... so this may also have a bearing.

What's sad is Grace Jones blew her away and she's twice her age and was hula hooping in high heels the entire time.
She sand better because Nadine or Kimberly would harmonise on most of the second parts of her lines so it hid her faltering like on Love Machine.
Yeah, she wasn't singing on Check It Out, even Nicki was angry she was put in the video at Will.I.Am's say so without her knowing. Even the song she did with him, Heartbreaker, you can hear they've layered up her voice 3 or 4 times over.

a bit Camp? That's one way of describing it ;-)

He is still a Leftie, but a Jewish leftie.:D

They are one of my favourite's along with Stephen and Chris and the Siddiqui's
Not keen on the new 3 young lads tho.
She has no talent either.
That show looks a complete joke from what I have seen on this show.

Very occasional, thankfully. In fact, Cheryl's nearly as good at singing as Rochelle is at presenting.
Do you realise how you come across in this post?

Too soon to tell I think. They're nice to look at at least!
