I just can't warm up to Olly, too contrived.

Rylan could have been a better choice, he's had the experience on TV, but can be over-dramatic.

Thoughts?

i think they want to try and keep the 5 million viewers they still have left

Should have been Flack on her own. Doesn't need Olly in the slightest.

Both are as bad as each other. Only needed one presenter. Get rid of Olly

Rylan as host would be a great choice for me, I think he's a brilliant presenter/host. I would certainly enjoy the show more with Rylan hosting.

As for Olly, I've gone off him over the last couple/few years, I can't put my finger on it exactly.....too cocky, full of himself/reckons himself, something along those lines. I don't particularly rate him as a presenter either, he's just about ok imo but that's about it. Not especially keen on Caroline either.

I think Melvin from Xtra Factor would have been a better presenter for the main show but then he's not a name

I would second that, the main show needs someone like Dermot, he had a bit more gravitas for the role , avuncular with the contestants and he held the stage better. Olly and Caroline are more suited to Extra Factor where they were very good , on the main show they are like spare parts and their excellent partnership does not even have a chance to come through. Every role has its person who fits it and they have got it wrong on X Factor.

Olly is miles better than Rylan.

Rylan would be good on xtra factor . X Factor really needs Dermot it didn't feel as dramatic when the results were read out either with two people.

To be fair, Dermot had years to perfect that.

Both are hopelessly crap.

I remember Kate Thornton before Dermot was good at that I think just with two people it's not as easy to make it dramatic

Olly and Caroline are absolutely crap, and without doubt they won't be back next series. Ratings have dive bombed and they surely are responsible for part of that.

It has brought home just how brilliant Dermot was in the role. Is it clear yet whether or not it was his choice to move on or was he pushed. If he was pushed… whoever decided that should be sacked.

Failing Dermot's return, then I agree Rylan would be great. He not only has the history on the show, but he has blossomed into a really great presenter, with buckets of personality. Is there any issue I wonder with contractually being with Channel 5 and not permitted to work elsewhere? Emma does The Voice… so can't see why Rylan could not do X-factor.

My sentiments.

Rylan is a repulsive Katie Price hybrid. Vile.

Rylan would actually be the perfect choice! But he's kind of tied up with Big Brother and other jobs, at least for now. I could see Simon snapping him up next year, for sure. He's a much more natural presenter than Olly.

Jeez Olly is not the best by any stretch but don't inflict more of that pillock Rylan on the public

Oh never crossed my mind but, with his gained presenting experience, I would say that Rylan would be a good choice as host and get Olly and Caroline back on Xtra Factor.

I'm amazed Konnie Huq didn't get the gig.

That would certainly get the ratings back up.

Let's not complain too hard because I'd be 99% confident that Stephen Mulhern is getting the call up if these two don't make the grade.

Bring back Kate Thornton! And while you're at it get Pete Waterman on the line

I do like Olly but not as Xfactor host, if Dermot doesn't come back Rylan is a great idea.
