Why is there 5 page threads with detailed analysis into every facet of the show?

The show is donkey's years old. Everyone knows the format to death. It's the same tricks year in year out. The script never changes, the comments from the judges are just endless repeats. I mean for god sake Louis Walsh has LITERALLY said the same repeated phrases every year. Even the papers have got bored of covering it. Nothing ever lasts forever especially in "Tv land". If someone made me get steak every night for 2 weeks straight and the only minor change to the dish I could have was it being rare/medium rare/medium/well done...as much as I love steak I would start to get severely bored.

It doesn't need a 20,000 essay into the nitty gritty. Boredom is the simple cause.

Bolded: I reckon that point has already been the case for a few years. They have a lot of product placement nowadays to buff up the budget and the guest singers at the final now and through the lives are more often than not people with ties to the show or the judges who can be got on the cheap.

Viewership numbers from Finland:
Sunday - 1,324,000
Saturday - 1,036,000

And a reminder that population of Finland is just ~5,5 million.

I'm afraid the cash cow cowell depends on all the rubbish acts to propell his chosen ones.

I'm not supprised. shame though given it started the series strong and if good acts made it through that would be sustained but the fact this doesn't happen gets on my nerves
