Surely Konnie will not be presenting the Xtra Factor next year?

She is an awful presenter. Behaves terribly towards Wagner - treats him like an annoyance who she cannot be bothered to listen to. If she feels that way, she shouldn't be on the show. Wagner has as much right to be on the show as the other contestants.

Also rolls her eyes all the time, like she is above it all. This in in stark contrast to Holly, who always seemed happy & enthusiastic.

I don't like the way she talks over people so you don't know what they said.

I hope she isn't on the xtra factor next year too. Let's give sam and mark a go, they work really well together and came second and third on pop idol 2 so they would have some sympathy toward the contestants. They will be the next ant and dec given the right tv show.

If not them then Caroline flack would be a goody. But get rid of konnie!

Sam & Mark is a good shout! They seemed very at ease on the show yesterday and would make it lively & fun - exactly how it should be.

Someone hit it on the head for me last night when they said she'd been good up until the live shows. I've been trying to put my finger on it for weeks, and that's it.

I really do like her, but she's not suited to the live presenting of this sort of show. Her lack of interest, constant repetition of 'absolutely' as an agreement word and shoutiness is beginning to grate - I sometimes think I detect a vibe from Dermot too, but it could just be my imagination.

Xtra factor for me seems to have gone the way of Big Brother's Little Brother when Dermot left and George Lamb and that other presenter took over.

Sad really as I honestly do want her to work out.

She is the worst presenter ive ever seen, i struggle to get through xtra factor every week, i just cant wait for it to finish now, its just cringe Tv, a far contrast from last year when i actually looked forward to Xtra factor with Holly, ithought it was better than the main show......

Bring Back Holly anytime... or if not then Keith Lemon how funny would that be.

Yep, Holly & Xtra Factor were a perfect fit.

I said this to my OH today (we record Saturday night and watch Sunday) - she is a poor presenter.

I loved Holly presenting - Konnie is a poor substitute.

Yep, she is really struggling & the show is suffering because of this.

I cannot fathom why they even chose Konnie. Surely she would have done a screen test & they should have known it wouldn't work?

On one of the early xtra factors - can't remember which one exactly - he really seemed to lose patience with her, was quite short with Konnie.

I don't blame him. Dermot has experience with this type of show as he was on Big Brother's Little Brother - & was excellent. Konnie is ruining the Xtra Factor.

I also feel that Dermot is not too pleased with Konnie. He treats her like she is just an irritant to him. I find him particularly dismissive of her on that bit where she asks him questions from members of the public. He looks like he can't wait to get away.

Poor Konnie does not seem to have the respect of the judges either, she seems to struggle keeping control and I just don't feel she has the same presence as Holly did.

There was a better connection between Holly and the judges and she worked better with Dermot.

Anyone kows what's the purpose of the IPad Konnie has always with her? Is this a kind of product placement for Apple? If so, it's a bad idea because it shows only how useless it is
