The X Factor's really hit the pits this time. That was humiliating for the contestants. Being called rubbish by the judges is one thing, but making them beg and belittle themselves publicly like that is beyond the pale for me.

Yeah it was awful!

Agree. Wish they'd cut the chair challenges in front of an audience. The audience do my head in

they plead on BB aswell & now The X Factor's adopted it

So glad that this was removed for tonight's show - it was both disgusting and embarressing to watch.

It was like pleading not to be the one to be fed to a pack of lions, pointless high drama.

The 10-second countdown needs to go as well, it's completely pointless and adds nothing.
