Whilst Simon and Sharon welcomed their contestants into their homes, Louis it was revealed on Xtra Factor "borrowed" someone elses place put a few pictures of his in it and pretended it was his.
Clearly he didn't want to bring the groups into his real home. I don't know but there's something about Louis that I dislike. He seems to think he's better than others, remember Ed?

i don't like him one little bit.. he's a slimy piece of work who hides behind others. even the way he broke news was a little cruel

i wanted him to get the kids group as at the time i hadn't any faves there

Ed? Wasn't he the talking horse?

Can't abide Louis Walsh...horrible, horrible man.

I'm disliking Louis more and more as the show goes on. I really hope he won't be the winning judge.

even if they had to wear plastic bags on their feet chez Simon

Perhaps Louis didn't want the contestants to meet his boyfriend.

I really dislike Louis... he is so Smarmy (sp!) and very unlikeable!!!!!!!

That's just funny, although if it was in the Sun then I'm not entirely sure if it will really have been true...!

And I also don't like Louis. At all. He's just really mean, I felt so sorry for that poor woman with the dog who he ran away from!

Hi there, the Sallster! Glad to see you're a fellow Louis disliker

Hehe, Hellooo the Zipster!! Hope you're good! I'm very much a Louis disliker...ick!! Wonder if it's true about Simon's plastic bags! I'd love to know - bless him, he's so camp! lol!

She was the woman at the Dublin audition who knew Louis from before he was rich and successful. Simon said that Louis should take her out for dinner, he agreed he would but when she actually came back the next day, he scarpered big time.

I was reading an interview with Kate Thornton and she stated that Louis is actually one of the nicest men that there is. She was also saying that he took the whole crew out for a slap-up luxury meal during filming. Sharon invited them all round to her place and made the crew a home-cooked meal on another night and Simon sent out for sandwiches from M&S as his version of a treat.
Also Louis stated on This Morning that the whole woman with a dog thing was edited that way and he actually went out and spoke to her.

But there's something about him you know....I can't quite put my finger on it

I'm curious now! I've only known him during this show, as I only started with my reality show addiction during pop idol. From what I've seen, he's had a complete personality bypass, let alone anything to warrant such a dislike of him. The one glimmer of nastiness was when he stood up that poor Irish woman. From what I've seen on X factor he comes over as a fairly tame and innocuous person. Enlighten me pleeeassse. I hate to miss out. LOL Thanks!

he's got shifty eyes

Thank you Mrs Harman. I had forgotten her name.
