They don't really change from one year to the next but here are a few...can you add more?

- Simon's overuse of the word 'arguably'

- Louis's comments being drowned out by the audience.

- Simon 'It's four yeses'. Like the contestants can't count to four. :sleep:

Louis: 'The X Factor is all about people like you.'

I'm still waiting for 'Yeh took that song, and made it your own.' from Louis.

Not to mention:

'Yeh remind me of a young (insert name of Irish singer/ group here)'

Key changes in background music at 'critical decision' moments.

Louis's eyes lighting up every time an attractive male walks out on the stage.

I like how Simon always emphasies potentially, 'you are poTENtially world class'

Cheryl crying or giving a comforting hug to those with a sob story.

Simon's wink.

Trying to build up pointless "tension" during the voting after all four judges have spent ages telling the contestant how great they are and how much they loved their audition.

Dermot beginning a link by saying "But for one hopeful here today, the stakes are even higher..." (with emotional piano music in the background, and a shot of the contestant in the holding area looking lost in their thoughts).

- An OAP who, despite being crap, steals the female judges' hearts by blowing kisses at them from the stage.

- A single mother from an inner city estate who's doing it to give her kids a better life.

- A young man or woman who is doing it because it was their dead parent's last wish.

- A complete weirdo from eastern Europe who turns up in the 'worst of' final show.

- A girl group who think they are the Pussycat Dolls.

- Someone who auditioned in a previous year, got as far as bootcamp and was rejected, now coming back under the guise of being 'a different person' because 'I want it even more.'

- 'What would it mean to you to win the X Factor?' 'It would mean everything/ the world to me.'

- Someone describing their experience as a 'journey' or a 'rollercoaster ride'.

- Someone aspiring to be 'the next Leona' (but never 'the next Leon Jackson', funnily enough. )

- Someone abysmally bad telling the judges that it's their loss.

- An angry parent confronting Simon Cowell.

Someone saying that they want to have world wide success and sell out tours with the audience chanting their name.

A contestant saying that they want to hear people singing their lyrics back to them in the street.

Contestants saying they can't go back to their day job!

Someone flying from the other side of the world to be in the competition.

After a supposedly bad run of auditions, the presenter says something like "there are concerns that we don't have enough talent etc", then says "but our luck may be changing", then someone with a sob story comes on and gets through.

Ah, there's another one:

'We'll take your advice on board'.

In other words, we completely disagree with you.

"You made the song your own"

Meaning: I can't think of what to say, but this old reliable cliche will do....
