Thought tonights show was the most entertaining so far but I am getting to the point where I want the live shows to begin.

I've had enough of these audition shows, seen and heard it all before.

When do they start the real "boot camp" or will it just continue to be one long bore and the franchise of bad auditions/put downs and humiliation, and lack of a successful winner, finally drive these shows off air?
You can have too much of the same formula . :yawn:

Am I the only one who feels I'm watching the same dross over and over again?
Didn't Kate say the Judges get their selections next week, or was I hearing things?

For once, I agree with Simon that Megan has potential, for someone so young she could be the X-factor, so far anyway.

Next week is definitely the last audition show. The series will now be on an hour earlier due to Ant and Decs Saturday Night Takeaway returning.

Oh no, not earlier, I struggle to be ready to watch this now, an hour earlier will complete stuff me. And it will clash with the Weakest Link then I suppose.

Matt's audition was the worst piece of acting I've ever seen. Simon pretending he didn't want to put him through when he's already been offered a record deal by Jive win or lose, Matt pretending to be surprised tp get through when he already has a management deal with Louis Walsh (and Louis again showing what a great judge of talent he is by saying the guy with the weakest voice who just scraped into One True Voice was his favourite).

I see Matt is not only still dyeing his hair but is also straightening it now.

BTW, why did Chloe leave Clea just to put herself through this again and why no reaction from Louis Walsh (or at least no televised reaction)? He must have recognised her, he put her through to the last 10 on PTR.

Still entertaining, but enough already! The series seems to have no forward momentum, no direction. It's like we're going round in circles, always end up in Leeds, for some reason.

And why bump the series back to 6pm, just when ratings are picking up? Millionaire should be in that early slot, not X Factor. That quiz show is well past its sell by date, even for a moribund Saturday night.

Was Chloe on it tonight? I didn't realise that.

Agree entirely, I shall miss a fair bit of it if its on at 6 oclock, its the busiest time of the day for me (feeding time!) Millionaire is utter dross nowadays

Ratings are bound to suffer by putting the show on an hour earlier. Not one of ITVs better decisions I think.

This show is so cheap, I love it

I was hoping that the guy with the eyeliner on would get his lawyer down there and cause a scene, but it wasn't to be.

It is so obviously a crock of shite, you just can't take it seriously.

I get the impression that Simon Cowell tried to kill the Pop Idol formula by manipulating Michelle's win (sorry Michelle fans, but she didn't exactly set the pop world alight now did she?), but he failed so now he is offering up this parody of a show to rub all of our noses into this pantomime in the hope that TV execs will stop offering him large wedges of cash to appear as a judge on crappy talent shows so he can get on with his passion for shagging pole dancers.

Or something

That guy wants to stop plucking his eyebrows and hold off of the make up if he wants to stop being mistaken for a drag queen, he was just plain creepy He did make me smile when he came out after the first edition and said he was contacting his lawyers, then went back in to the judges and when they said the same things over again he said thankyou

I thought last nights show was probably one of the best shows so far.I thought the guy that wanted to be the Eminem wanabee was a ****.If he really thought that audition was going to get him into the next round he should go & get his head checked out.

In Glasgow there's some campaign going on & it shows you people that live in glasgow & these posters are up at Bus shelters etc.That guy Josh is on one of the posters.

Felt sorry for the guy that was singing the Queen song from abit of paper.
