Am I the only person who thinks she should be sacked? She's just the most annoying TV presenter in the world.

Is it true she only got the job because her and Cowell used to be getting jiggy?

I disagree with you, but many would agree with you. Personally, though, I find her quite entertaining, though there are better presenters out there. She's easy on the eye though

As for the second part of your post, I've never heard of any rumour about that and I doubt it.

i think she's good. and i'd rather have her on than those two muppets who did pop idol.

she's sufficiently bland/low key to make it apparent that the show isnt about her, but the singers and judges.

and as ive said on another thread.. how many people can you think of who could deliver two hours of live telly in front of 9 million viewers and not fluff a single line? she puts some of our so-called established presenters to shame (yes i'm looking at YOU judy finnegan!)

whether you like Kate T's personaility/looks or not, she keeps a lid on the proceedings when thinsg are getting out of hand and she is pretty much word perfect... so credit where due.

Some would say "keeping a lid", others would say "cutting off the judges when they're in the middle of making a valid comment". The way she talks over people makes me want to throw my TV out of the window - I know she's got producers in her ear and a schedule to keep to but she's about as subtle as a sledgehammer. She is totally devoid of personality, humour or brain cells (probably). And her stylist should be shot.

Rant over

She looks like a monkey, possibly some obscure species of Gibbon perhaps

She is uber-boring and bland but i think that is what is called for on a show like this.
Having said that i did prefer Ant and Dec on Pop Idol to her.

I like Kate Thornton, think she's a good presenter and other than Ant/Dec I cant think of anyone else I would rather have present the show.

I remember her back in the days when 'dont try this at home' was on saturday evenings, thought she was good then too.

She ain't no Ant and Dec and she's not as self-deprecating as Davina McCall but she does a fair job.

I agree she is a pretty girl and that never hurts in front of the camera.

Kate and Simon have just been friends for a long time.

I think Kate is brilliant. I can't think of anyone else who would do a better job. She's professional, funny, and seems to sympathise with the acts, which is always good.

I'd actually like her to present BB. She'd be great at it.

Please see my response to this thread, on a thread which I
put up for discussion previously.
It is interesting to see that some views have changed now we are further into the show.
Mine alas have not,Kate is just not up to scratch.

I just wish she'd stop cocking her head on one side like that all the time when waiting for a response from someone, she looks likes she'd had a terrible injury and should be wearing a neck brace. She should also invest in a good bra that would give her a bit of uplift and make those lowcut shoestring strap frocks she insists on wearing look the way they are meant to look. She's an attractive girl and could look so much better with a bit of attention to detail, as it is she looks like she's breastfed half a dozen sprogs in as many years.

Give the girl a break

Primetime live TV, and she aint doing that bad

I think she is doing really well, and I've said before A&D and Davina can't present everything

I like Kate too......I think she's very amusing and very good at puting Simon in his place and she is very quick with her witty comebacks which not everyone can do.

I don't think ant and Dec would be right for the X factor although i do like them a lot not a big fan of Davina though

I like her too, but Ant and Dec are funnier

They made a perfect team on Pop Idol

Sorry about this, when i click the quote button and want to reply, it fails so i can only copy and paste.

I dont know, maybe Simon and Kate had a thing i mean they all do. I dont think she should get sacked, if they sack her we will end up with Davina McCall who has big brother.

Give her a chance, this is her second year. Yeah i find her annoying sometimes, but theres alot of people out there who annoy me too but theres nothing you can do. So just enjoy the entertainment for now.

If you dont like her, then watch The Xtra Factor, she isnt in that one :.

I'd have David Blunkett presenting BB if it meant getting rid of Davina McCall!

I hate Davina McCall! She is the worst presenter ever and she hasn't got better with experience. She makes a bit of sick come up.
Really, the mind boggles that she has a job in television. Her performances make me cringe.
