one of my friends was on the xfactor last night! I haven't been watching it at all but thought I'd throw in my claim to fame. :D and one of my friends does the make up. :D

Too many people on here seem to watch British programmes only. Personally I find only a very few British comedies and detective mysteries worth watching.

Yes, you are right. We should expose ourselves to American and Arabic media as the quality is higher.

I have a Du box... I unplugged it two weeks ago and put it in the cupboard - we put it on once or twice and it was just drivel.

I liked Aiden in the beginning, not seen last nights yet but heard it was terrible. Cher does my head in but I think she will get the public vote over and over again.

she should have over ruled that brief, two weeks ago she had black lipstick on she looked terrible, the girl is only 21 and they dress her like an old woman in all these ball gowns, amazing voice though :thumbup:

Cher will get the teenagers votes which are quite huge, everyone wants to be like Cheryl don't they so she is just perfect for that market.

I love Mr Cowell!! he is never far from the truth apart when he praises his bands that are shite but he has to do that as mentor.

All hell has broken out in the X-Factor house apparently. They have all ganged up on Wagner and thrown him out because he has been going round saying he sings better than all the others who have been kicked out.He is now in a hotel drowning his sorrows!:rofl:

he must have gone back then it happened again or is it a lame attempt by the xfactor and the media to ensure he goes this week? let's hope so!!
