why is wanting to see genuine talent rather than a bunch of sob stories and joke acts "trolling" ?

edit : oh and btw i have been a regular on these forums discussing this show for 5 years now, my position regarding whats good and bad about the show has been fairly consistent as well, so i am hardly "crawling out of the woodwork" unlike the fanbois who i have never seen on this forum before suddenly start posting because of one weeks good ratings ...
The fact you refer to those who disagree with you as fanbois gave me the impression you were a troll

If you were so interested in debating the issues why shit stir with a comment like that?

i wasn't referring as someone who disagreed with me as a "fanboi", i was describing someone who ignores the shows obvious faults and defends it unconditionally as a fanboi

try understanding what people write and the context it is written in before accusing people of being a troll thanks, something i believe to be against the site's T&C

I found the post in about 5 seconds using the forum search feature, believe me it took very little effort. And there were others

I'm simply saying you're constantly repeating ad nauseam the same criticism about X Factor but it's the same show it's always been (especially this year). The same show that got 19.4 million viewers for its final or 15 million for Sunday results.

Sob stories, joke acts, scripted editing, it's always been that way but when it's fun and light hearted and doesn't take itself too seriously, viewers like it which is why those series have achieved higher ratings.

That is the point you've failed to grasp, moaning about sob stories and joke acts like it's something new (when your post from 4 years ago proves you know it's not new) and criticising anyone who has the audacity to note cold hard facts that numbers are up this year, as "fanboiz".

On that basis I think sorcha is pretty on the money, and patronising her/him saying "try understanding..." is just another example of your rude posting style.

X Factor 2016 is friendly, confident in itself, and shaping up to be a classic series
"It has great judges, a fantastic presenter, a tried-and-tested format… and a few more years left in it yet if it maintains this new attitude"
