What was happening tonight !! Everybody was crying !!Sob story from Ben , Robert and Nikitta . This is supposed to be a happy show !

Well it got Andy the binman into the final last year.

Hopefully it was just because they were sent home to see family and where they used to work etc...I thought they had eased off on this whole sob story thing so will be mad if it's the same again next week.

I don't doubt their pain over what has happened and I would never wish upset on ayone but I've never turned up to a job interview, broken down in tears and recounted tales of woe from my past, it just doesn't sit comfortably with me!

It pees me off when they start bringing in stuff (at this stage) about what a bad life etc they've had..Simon was right in saying that being a marquee erector isn't as bad as being a coal miner, as far as Ben is concerned..no he doesn't need all the smoke wind and sob stories. There again, Simon did let Nikita go all emotional about her dead mum.

I thought EXACTLY that... at least Simon's weren't too bad. Nikkita took the pss though...

If they want to do sob, they should all have to do country & western next week. Then we can all weep.

I can't stand it when they have a sob story to go with themselves. Its X Factor not SYMPATHY Factor

People always use sympathy to try and win a reality tv show and its quite pathetic.

Its TV land, get over it yall.......Just dont put the TV producers images before the talent, just take a small relity check, I have learnt to laugh at it all now, I expect it and move on. Admitted, it doesnt add to the show for anyone IMO

Im hating the sob stories too - especially Kerrys. Because although its very bad that she's in a wheel chair, and I very much respect her for what she's doing - I just think she overused the story. And also - her voice was nowhere near good enough to get her through to the finals without the wheelchair thing. Just my opinion.
