Olly Murs and the other one are terrible presenters for this. Dermot had that authority, he was a real and serious presenter. I am by no means an x factor fan, I only watch it when im at my mums house and she's got it on. Just think they are both incredibly lightweight for this, surely there are better options?

I find Olly and Caroline much more likeable than Dermot, even if he was a slightly slicker and more experienced presenter.

Suppose TXF is cancelled next series in the same way DOI met its maker in 2014. No one would really care, except for a few hysterical posters on TXF forum, and people would move on. It's only a talent contest that has had its day in the same way Hughie Green tried to save Op Knocks in 1978 and his petition was largely ignored.
Yet nine years after the Hughiethon was cancelled ,BBC1 revived it with 16 million viewers and as it had Bob Monkhouse in charge it lasted another 4 years. Perhaps a hint for the future as TXF could come back with someone like David Walliams in charge. |

So? At the end of the day Syco is a business that needs sales to survive, at least it doesn't claim billions in taxpayer money!

So I don't really see your point. |

Dan R is to Syco what Samuel was to the BBC. Only Samuel had some very good points.

So what if Olly said he liked the new 1D song. And he didn't say that. He said singer or artist. Shambles is a touch over dramatic.
![]() ![]() Must be the right choice if they are that forgettable that the boss doesn't even know what they're called. Having said that, Cowell seemed a bit distant all night. I don't think he's taking recent ratings well. |

Olly's poor, fumbled over his lines a bit. |

The last ever regular-length episode of Downton is over Should be in for a big rating on Christmas Day if next week's season finale is as fabulous as it looks.Quote:

I've never known anyone quite so desperate to stick up for the smug old Tory cheerleader. And I was on here during the years of George S! A quite remarkable performance.

Despite the fact that "nobody" watches The X Factor anymore, and everyone here wants it to be axed, it seems you are all still watching it.
More comments about a quip made by Olly Murs than the Bake Off Final in this thread! |

I can't see the point of having two presenters. They are both likeable people but nowhere near as slick as Dermot.
I can see why Simon did it in trying to recreate their Xtra show but that's so different than this gig. Hardly anyone watches that show and you can get away with much more. But, as mentioned, they aren't the reason for dwindling figures. |

Radio One.Presumably trying to boost Grimshaws show.
Or maybe Radio 1 accepted an X Factor ad-slot as compensation for the shows Grimmy missed to film XF. |

I think the opposite, Olly has just enough charm to pull it off, Caroline looks out of her depth, strange to go with these two though as they're not really experienced enough at live tv- Both Kate Thornton and Dermot were far better but they were established when they were hired
And I definitely don't recall Kate Thornton receiving much positive comment. |

I can't believe they are even allowed to do that. Commercial radio would go mad if they saw that going on. |

All times are GMT. The time now is 04:31.






Should be in for a big rating on Christmas Day if next week's season finale is as fabulous as it looks.
