The 'SOB' Factor!
It's about time that Mr Cowell renamed the X-Factor!
It's no longer a talent show (was it ever?), it's about who has the biggest sob story! I went to Tesco to get one of my favourite ready meals today, but they had run out! Do you think that if I applied for X (Sob) Factor 2009, they put me through to boot camp? |

I agree, and tonight proves it. The whole emphasis is on crying, whether it's someone being put through or not. I wish I had the willpower to record tonight's show and watch it later to fast forward through the sobbing. I'm tempted to record it anyway and create a sob index (= minutes of crying on screen)
The whole of tonight's show makes me wonder whether the producers are in touch with what the public want any more. |

How many different ways can people say "this means so much to me" while sobbing uncontrollably? Who directs this stuff? Do the GBP really want to want this sh**? |

I found the boys the worse for this. The bursting into tears. They were a real embarassment to watch tonight.

Imagine how I feel, I had to go to the doctors, and they injected me!

The sob story about my slightly discoloured teeth will take this to a whole new level next year

If it was Finest Chicken with Chorito Sausage (was it?) that would be enough for me to recreate the almost biblical "collapsing on the steps" scene that we saw in Cheryl's category. (Don't think I am hard hearted - I was gutted for that poor girl......)
that was epic she just collapsed and I really didnt want to laugh but i did

I find it particularly ironic the person with the genuine sob story (the man whose wife died shortly after giving birth) has cried the least and the person with no story at all (other than desperation, Austin) has cried the most.

When I was growing up we only had one bathroom in our house.
![]() If I wanted a wee I had to go all the way upstairs. ![]() Sometimes there was someone using the toilet and I had to wait!
