Okay so I've never really found the gags funny at all, but lately they've been stepping up their game for sure

the lookalike tonight was so funny, didn't look anything like Olly for a start and the fight was hilarious poor Union J lads, they were absolutely horrified

Unfunny in my opinion - repetitive, stale, predictable.

Funny - love them together. I wasn't totally sure about the fight thing tonight but the not-really lookalike was

They're about as funny as a pneumatic drill through each eyelid.

Caroline is a waste of space. Olly is OK(ish).

Caroline is really irritating... I know a lot of guys fancy her but I really can't see the attraction?!

They're a poor man's Jamie and Alice, who, as fit as Alice is, are a poor man's everyone else.

Olly is funny, Caroline is alright; quite like her when she's pretending to flirt with Olly or James.

Olly is fine - but was better last year. The whole format of sketches etc annoys me this year. The Xtra Factor is about a chance to further discuss the contestants/show, not promote Olly Murs and Caroline Flack per se. As for Ms Flack - I can't stand her and I will always be sickened by a woman over 30 dating a 17 year old boy. If Olly Murs suddenly started dating Ella Henderson, there would be remarks that he wasn't much better than Jimmy Saville (just a bit better because it isn't illegal, but morally there's barely a difference) - so how did she get away with it, just because the gender roles were reversed?

I can see what you mean (I think the age difference is a bit weird regardless of gender) but as soon as they are both over 16, they can get away with it.

Wait... you're saying there's barely a moral difference between a consensual relationship between two legal adults and an old man in a position of trust non-consensually sexually abusing underage children in precarious positions and in some cases positions of mental disability? I don't even know where to begin with that.

I dont like either of them ... the innuendos each week are boring , would rather see more from the guest judges and the contestants

I like them. Their jokes aren't especially great but they have good chemistry and are endearing in their own way.

Does Caroline still do that annoying high pitched hi to viewers who call in to the show? Drove me mad last year!

Olly is quite sweet and funny. Caroline is one of life's mysteries. She's not funny, she's irritating, she has terrible hair, makeup and clothes and she's not pretty. No idea how she got where she is.

I cracked up too when Christopher answered "flip flops." They are quite a funny double act in my opinion. But I do think that Caroline has worn some awful schoolgirlish outfits.
What I have really liked about Olly and Caroline together is that they have not tried to sway the public vote.

Olly should present the show by himself. Caroline is useless.

I do like them but don't find them that funny, especially when they crack the same jokes every week.

They should have had Olly's twin brother as his look-alike (or was it his twin brother) :

Not watched last nights yet but I think Olly and Caroline are great together and very funny. Love them both.

It's more about Caroline and Olly than the acts or the viewers calling in. It was loads better with Holly

Nothing funny about them, I think the scriptwriters are on work experience from the local school. Olly is nice but she is irritating and seems to relish putting Christopher down, and the people who vote for him. If they make a change next year it is a no brainer to have Rylan and one of them, I can't think of a female presenter, except Fern, she was really good and funny when she did it a few years ago.
