Any X-Factor fans giving Strictly final a go but struggling
Thought I would switch it on for the first time this year and it seems very flat and I assume this is supposed to be a better atmosphere as its the final

I'm 'giving it a go', and finding Kara Tointon absolutely adorable. But yes, the rest of it has had my eyelids drooping.

Myself and my flatmate gave it a go but we couldn't even suffer it as background noise. Not my cup of tea at all.

But this year I gave it up.

I'm not really into dancing, but for me, this year's Strictly was far better than XF. XF IMO has become a joke...

Strictly is one programme i have never got into, can't stand it. And that dancing on ice programme is even worse!

X Factor is fun but has nothing to do with professional music-making whatsoever; Strictly is a ballroom dancing competition - not the sort of thing that would normally brew my cuppa either Mary Patricia! - but the musicality of the instrumentalists, singers and dancers both pro and am keeps me, and millions of others, hooked week after week. Nothing like a bit of musical integrity to cheer us through this winter of discontent

What do you mean background noise? It's LIVE MUSIC! no auto-tune, no miming, minimal pre-recording (only when they have to insert an 'entertainment dance' to cover costume changes). If only the X Factor singers could learn a thing or two from the session pro's on Strictly they'd maybe be able to earn honest livings and develop lasting careers; but then they're really only interested in mag deals and Cowell et al. are only interested in the swift buck, innit.
