LOL

The below clip should give you a rough idea of how that will end.

Watching that back my favourite thing out of all of it is Olly saying 'Anton, go and join your fellow X Factor'. Talk about dehumanising

Olly is so out of his depth I feel quite bad for him. Yet it's funny. But I feel bad for him. But it's funny etc.

In all seriousness though, he's a colossal doofus but he sure is pretty.

Olly shouldn't feel too bad. Even the old pro Terry Wogan announced the wrong winner on Eurovision Making Your Mind Up

Felt really sorry for him in all honesty.

He's punching and way out his depth presenting a show like this.

I do think he also gets quite emotional during elimination shows.

As a presenter you need to try and empathise while remaining professional and detach yourself a bit as a result. Dermot was a pro at this!

The wrong winner was also announced once on Australia's Next Top Model

I have just watched the clip on you tube.

I think you are being tad harsh on Olly.

Maybe he was fed the wrong info thru his link.

Also he must get numerous people feeding stuff through his link and it live VT and so must get stressful.

I feel tad sorry for him.

TBH I wont be happy unless this happes at the final an it's looking likely

My other personal fave was Olly asking the audience to give a warm welcome to 1D, after they had sung and as they were about to leave the stage

Ha,ha, there'll be enough gaffs for a book time the series has finished. Olly is doing what nobody else this series has been capable of doing and that's getting people talking about the programme..

Its torturous to watch and he's really not very good but I can't help feeling bad for him. His little face when he realises he's screwed up... Shame too because he seems like a real sweet bloke but I think presenting something like this just isn't really his thing.

Caoline manages to call her 'Monica MICHAELS' as well, not 'Michael' which is her surname.

You get the sense that Olly Murs is in a state of fear pretty much the entire time he's on that stage. He doesn't believe he's up to the job and ironically he's creating what he fears. It makes you realise that for all the smugness, Dermot O'Leary is a skilled presenter who thrives off the excitement of live TV and more importantly could control the room when he needed to. Even before the Monica clanger, endlessly tripping over his words and welcoming One Direction as they were in the process of leaving, on Saturday we saw him asking for a chair for the fainting member of 4th Impact, when there were four chairs on the stage behind him. It didn't surprise me that the poor bloke lost the plot in the result show and couldn't count to four, or do the basic maths. After his monumental brain fart, when that envelope was finally thrust at him, for a few seconds it looked comically like he had no clue what it was for, or indeed where he was, who he was, or what the hell he was doing there and I suspect that in that moment his brain was so scrambled that he didn't. This scale of live TV has been too much of a leap for him, too soon. I just wonder how long Cowell will give him to navigate the learning curve?

I feel sorry for him too. He's simply out of his depth. I think getting rid of Dermot was a major error. I can't stand Caroline shouting rather than talking as if all the viewers are either deaf, stupid or both.

Marvin Humes from the Voice was in a similar position, as in coming from a band to presenting, but he seems to handle it a lot better. Maybe a bit more able to multi-task than Olly?

I think Marvin had more of a presenting background before he started on The Voice. He definitely had his own radio show for quite an extended period before he started on the Voice. Ollie has only ever co-hosted shows before - I suspect it makes all the difference. He's never had to shoulder the sole responsibility of a live broadcast. That helps with Marvin - plus a natural ease of presenting style, and a highly experienced co-host with Emma Willis. Emma carries that show, TBH, whilst Marvin is definitely more of the 2nd string presenter - and allowed to be so, because Emma's presenting carries a certain authority with it, and she doesn't have to rely on her co-host to deal with tricky live show situations.

Ollie and Caroline don't seem to have been told who is the 1st string presenter, and so neither takes the reins when things are threatening to go offtrack - until it's far, far too late and Caroline is left shrieking at the camera, whilst Ollie craps himself to the side of the stage!! But Ollie must take most of the blame, along with Simon and the producers for hiring him in the first place. He wasn't ready - everyone suspected he wasn't when it was announced - and they didn't make a change early enough in order to get an experienced hand on board for the important live shows.

But a proper presenter could cope with being given multiple instructions; that's live presenting. I don't think he was given the wrong info, he just said it at the wrong time, or in the wrong order. He really can't cope with it all.

Olly is just too inexperienced. It's all too much too soon.
But even with all his mistakes I prefer him to Caroline.
Her endless shrieking and inane laughing is hugely irritating.

This series of X Factor has achieved the impossible - made me find Olly Murs entertaining. I cannot STAND the cheeky chappy idiot, his "music" makes me want to rip my ears off and his entire persona makes me cringe. But his presenting is so bad it's hilarious and about the only thing worth tuning in for as he seems to get worse every week. As somebody else suggested, he's the new Konnie Huq!
