Side note, I found it very funny Olly Murs saying with a straight face to Fleur "this show's done so much for people like you". Where exactly did you get YOUR start, Mr Murs?

Olly to Nick: "If you save Sean it will go to deadlock"

I was trying so hard to like Olly and Caroline but it's a car crash with them at the helm.

Between her fumbling her lines and Olly talking like a five year old child - I'm not sure who's more distracting.

Awful. Awful. Awful.”

did she say that LOL LMFAO

I think I may just use this thread as a library of their greatest hits.

Last week I thought Caroline was okay but tonight she was pretty awful. I still hope she will get better eventually though.

Olly has been bad since the start and it is so obvious when he messes up his lines. I don't think he will improve much as he is not an experienced presenter. I still cant get used to having 2 presenters but at the moment neither could do a convincing job alone.

I'm hoping they begin to stray into the "so bad, they are good" category like Konnie Huq mastered so perfectly.

In fact, they should just have Konnie Huq present- unintentionally offending judges, contestants and contestants families alike.

My very favourite was Olly last week: "IT'S TIME... to judge."

There certainly wasn't much tension with tonight's result as Caroline mumbled that "Seanmileymoore" had been eliminated before anybody was ready. Tactful Olly then proceeded to grill him on what he did wrong. With that and Simon reluctantly sending home some group called "Alien Nation" last week, it's coming across a bit amateuristic.

It was excruciating to watch those two, I could kind of excuse Ollie, he's not a professional presenter, but Caroline is experinced ....couldn't watch, with her twiddling her fingers, swinging her skirt Saturday night like a 5 year old, shows its not an easy gig! And her delivery tonight! Bring back Dermot!

Yeah, that was bad.

I should add that he meant to say "If you send home Sean it will go to deadlock", just in case anyone didn't see it/doesn't get it

Really terrible, they're actually getting worse and I think Simon knows it. When they were doing a link on saturday's show you could clearly see him shake his head and puff out his cheeks in irritation. Then later when they approached him for reaction he answered with an extremely clipped 'Yup.' It's actually pretty funny watching Simon get irritated with Nick, Rita, Olly and Caroline.

Caroline didn't go to professional presenter school and get a degree in professional presenting. All they need is a bit of self-confidence in front of a camera and, presumably, the ability to read an autocue (which tells them stuff they should be able to make up anyway).

They're both idiots.

Caroline is truly awful. She's either screeching or mumbling nonsense. Millions of viewers watching and she's all like, hey guys! To the crowd. She should be crowd warm up, not presenter.

The ratings were poor when they presented Xtra Factor yet people loved them on there.

Nope. Tess Daly is winning that league table for the 10th year running

My hubby doesn't normally watch the show and has no clue who anyone is, but when they announced 4th Impact were safe, his ears thought they said 4 Bin Bags. He had to ask me to confirm what their name was, as he didn't think they would get far with a name like that.

Olly's "double a lemon nation" from last week will never be bettered. And LOL at Four Bin Bags!
