Why on earth do we still watch this rubbish?

Seriously - and as someone who has only been switching over after Merlin....lol. But as a serious XF fan in the past until mental fatigue took over. lol
Why? What is all this daft threads about seriously boring and second rate singers? Do you really care?
Last year 2010 - the terrible Little Mix.
2009 - Matt Cardle who got dropped as soon as they could.
2008 Joe Mcellerry - also dropped.
So - why on earth do people still get hyped up over an XF winner - knowing that a few years down the line the probability is that they will be yesterday's news?
I guess as long as we do - the XF bandwagon will still roll on fuelled by ads and voting revenue. But come on guys - is there really nothing better to do on a Saturday night?

I'd prefer that lot to the winners.
And the "fix theories" and all the rest of the paranoid rubbish that goes on around it are quite hysterical too.
Sometimes they find great singers, like Jonathan Ansell of G4 and Rhydian and Joe Mcelderry and now Jahmene - so it's always worth watching to see if there is anyone interesting.
I dont think who wins matters anymore - runners up often do better.
The building up of Chris as this year's love-to-hate figure which then backfired with the producers desperately trying to back-pedal for the last couple of weeks has been hilarious.
I still watch Sunday because you see snippets of all the acts anyway and you get the eviction drama.
Same, i don't watch the live shows anymore, i only watch the elimination and sing-off now, 10 minutes on youtube compared to 2-3 hours of adverts and filler, it's a no-brainer for me.
They couldn't have been more obvious if they tried what with the praise for his first song last night
Sadly it dosent even qualify as that.
This. I love these kind of threads and there is one almost everyday. It's as if posters have to tell us that they aren't watching anymore to gain some sort of plaudit for that fact. If people don't watch then don't. No need to broadcast it because you feel lonely out there because people are actually watching it.
Me and the Mrs stopped watching the show last year and haven't even bothered to tune into one episode this year.
This post is my total and final involvement with X-Factor this year. Thank God for the BBC.
Anyway for me the show isn't about that, it's about dramatic and entertaining Saturday/Sunday night tv with fun, lights, shocks, arguments, goodies and baddies - this year has delivered on all counts.
The above list would be my pyramid stage line up from HELL. Astonishing.
*claps* Completely agree. I watch it because I enjoy it, like I do every program I watch. Do people who post to tell people how they aren't watching it anymore think they are gaining some kind of credibility or something?
