I think Blink reached no 12. It was fairly rarely played, so almost a case of "Blink and you'll miss it!"
Pop Idol was more credible than X Factor, in that Simon was already sometimes tactless but his opinions were just about realistic. Also, there was not the pantomime of judges disagreeing with eachother for the sake of creating media attention.
