Shock Horror Gullible Insulting.

This show died a little bit more tonight.

Pure desperation.

So staged its unreal

Do Cowell and the producers not realise that it's stuff like this that turns people off the show

It's time this show died because at the moment it's on life support

They do it for attention.

They want the Ofcom complaints, the tabloid healdines and the public fury.

It has worked once upon a time when it was fresh. Those times are over. This is just desperate.

To play with people like that for viewing figures is disgusting.

Why do they need a camp gay act every year ? Wouldn't be bad if any of them could sing

As long as they're making money out of it they really don't care.

they've turned their back on the real format of the show and just focussing on making money.
which infact isn't a bad idea. and that's why they're doing it. they don't care that the format of the show has changed. there's just more money to be made out of it this way.

I think you have to. I think the TV rules are that you have to have a camp single/couple in every TV show now.

I can guarantee that this episode will have a fair few people giving up on the show for good. To bring back the Salmonella Twins is beyond a joke

There's not a shadow of doubt that tonight's fiasco was written into his contract. The guy obviously has no pride or self esteem to wilfully allow himself to be displayed as a bumbling, indecisive idiot. But it's not just him who's to blame. The other two muppets are just as bad and guilty of allowing a balloon like Cowell to orchestrate what has become the biggest reality show farce ever. As I type this I'm noticing that that ridiculous female rapper is back as a wild card. Thank God I won't be watching this dross this year.

I keep typing that this is the worst episode ever ...... Until the next one comes along. This series is beyond the pale.

After tonight I'm turning off, I will stick to strictly

They truly are the worst act ever to have been seen on this show. Of only they knww how ridiculous they looked.

I can't believe that Marianna Zappi lost her place. She sang that song beautifully. I was gobsmacked when Sharon said her chair number. I was like....what?!

Cowell also needs to have a camp judge to make him look like the Alpha male because he's too scared of having any real competition.

See you here same time next week

Organised Chaos by the bucket load, it was dire and all over the place and as for BBOTS Xtra Factor , its not much better. The Tin Foil men done it for me , they are just keeping another decent act out of the show.i

Its been a pantomime since series one when Mrs O laid into Steve and, lo and behold, he gets the public on his side and he wins - who'd have thunk it?

I'm amazed anyone still watches it expecting it to be any different. It's cheap car crash cabaret with heroes and villains created for our entertainment. I'm only surprised they don't have 'Goodie' and 'Baddie' flashing up on the screen.
They might as well do the live shows in a big top wearing red noses, it's that much of a circus

With the ecception of a couple of acts this series has been pathetic.

Sharon Osborne is the campest judge on any of these shows, and that includes David Walliams, Boy George, and Nick Grimshaw.

Yep. Judges awful, the production awful, bootcamp awful, the Six Chair Challenge atrocious.

Dermot being back and a handful (being generous) of decent acts are saving this series from flatlining.

The only thing to hope for at this point is that the live shows are really good, I'll not give up on this series until then.

Agree with all of the above, they have stooped to levels yet unknown.
However, the biggest problem is that viewing figures seem to be holding up, with possibly an upwards tendency, so unless the lives will see viewers switching off in droves (here's hoping...) they will see all this as a justification, and there will be more of this scripted nonsense next year.

She was the winner for me. This show is a joke.
