I am done watching this season, though I may check in to see Saara,Gifty, 5AM and MAtt perform and to see if Matt wins in the final as planned(and good luck to him, he is talented, I resent the show's shady operating, but who could blame him for being glad to be lucky enough to be the act they want to promote right now?).

The best went before the lives, and now Relley? Not sane on any level. I am unimpressed but unsirprised.To say it is a joke may be chiche, but in this instance, it really is. I hope Relley doesn't give up. She is SO talented!

Have fun , Kiddies.Don't say ya weren't warned.

They set the trend for this series after judges houses by omitting the better singers in favour of some questionable acts. After that wellll, that kinda showed us what they wanted to do with the X Factor UK, but contrary to their intentions the show is not nearly as entertaining as it could be or has been, terrible series this one. I mean if they wanted their target audience to be 11-12 years olds they should probably air the show at around 4-5 pm not friggin 8pm when the adults are watching!

Yep the game was up based on the choices of who was sent to Judges Houses and who made it to the live shows. The game is seems is more visible than ever this year

For me the show jumped the shark when that appalling Frankie Cocozza got through to the lives. But I was prepared to give it a chance this year as it seemed to be going back to basics and a focus on talent.

And then judges' houses happened. Of course the chicken boys and Honey G should not have been anywhere NEAR judges' houses but for them to make the live shows made all of the entertainment I'd enjoyed up to that point a complete waste of time, as talent has not been rewarded. And that's all I tune in for.

I know, Relley was the winner for me, but the winner's gonna be yet another stupid boy or girl. This for me is the worst ever series.

To see four adults who are meant to represent the music business all stand up and applaud that talentless pillock Honey G, proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the show is nothing but a 'joke on the GBP' to the judges.

Pathetic.

You nailed it here Sutie! Bang on!

Could not agree with you more.

Relley left because the public didn't like her enough to save her. Not in the main vote and not in the lifeline vote. Why blame the show for how the public vote?

Personally, I'm really happy Four of Diamonds got through (although not so happy they were in the bottom two).

As for Honey G . They put her in because they thought the public would like her and they were right. It's the public who keep saving her not the judges. If the judges save her once she hits the bottom two then you can legitimately blame them for poor judgement but not before.

The shark was jumped years ago. Fortunately, the voting figures have dropped so at least people aren't wasting their money.

well said

all the whining and excuses from biased fans, rather than just accept their favourite wasn't as popular as they think she should have been, gets pretty tiresome

People are only voting for Honey to take the p... out of the show, not because they think she is any good which she clearly is'nt

Gone from watching it live every week to Tivo-ing it, coming here, finding who's out and then deleting the video.

I now have deleted the automatic Tivo save and don't watch it at all now. Only came here today to see if that non-singer HoneyG was out.

While I'm sure that's the case for some, I don't think it's the whole story. It doesn't explain why the entire audience chant her name and cheer everything she does with wild abandon! Nor does it explain her social media popularity.

She's can't carry a tune and she looks ridiculous as a credible rap artist but the productions that surround her are, actually, pretty fun. She's good at engaging the crowd, she's a character and she seems to be able to handle the rapping parts (both the words and the rhythm) quite competently. While I haven't voted for her I have actually enjoyed some of her performances more than some of the other acts. No way would she ever become a recording artist but I could see her being really popular in the Holiday Camps.

They only chant her name because they are obviously told to beforehand. It would be interesting to hear from someone who was actually there

And what would make an audience do that if they disliked her? Is someone holding a gun to their heads?

I heard a few boos when she was saved yesterday so it's not like they're not allowed to express their opinions if they want to. Some like her some dislike her and they emote as they feel. The idea that the audience is coerced to cheer an act they dislike is, frankly, ludicrous, IMO.

I liked relley but I don't see the need to go all bonkers just because she's out and honey g is still in . It's simple really if you didn't want an act to leave then vote for them more it's not bloody rocket science

You'd think that a semi-decent has never gone home at the hands of a joke act before the way some are carrying on...

All these shows have a warm up artist that tells the audience what to do. I have been to a similar type show and know how it works.

The only good "fix" was fun producers intervening to put Saara into the live shows.

But they're not going to do it if they disagree with it. Would you be cheering with them if told to? Somehow I suspect not!

Yeah but they can't really control the votes though which in the end is what counts

Control ....No , have massive influence over? You betcha!!

What influence? They rave over pretty much every act and on the occasional times they criticize an act the judges almost always end up disagreeing with each other. So I fail to see how that can influence anyone to vote for someone who they didn't enjoy over someone who they did

Therein lies the problem. Do those four really represent the music business? I think not.
