to think that complaining to Ofcom about Cheryl Cole's decision is totally ridiculous?

Ok, I don't agree with her choices at all. Cher and Katie fucked up and shouldn't have gone through. How many times did they say "no second chances?"

I also don't agree about the 2 manufactured bands being put through when there were good bands who applied for that category.

I don't agree with Dannii putting annoying Nicolo through either. Much better talent than him.

But, it is called the judges decision, not decision of the great british public. If it was our choice, they would make more money by getting us to phone in and vote who we want through to the live shows.

I think it has gone waayyyyyy OTT the way Cheryl has been getting death threats, people complaining to Ofcom and stupid FB groups demanding that other contestants return.

Could this be why this wildcard thing has been introduced this year? Because they knew the better acts weren't put through and they knew the public would kick off? Fix? Never!

Its only a sodding TV show FFS anyway.

I think I watch the show because it makes me happy to see people do well,and i really enjoy the music.What is so wrong in watching interesting people entertain us.Music and singing and seeing the stories of how people improve with help is fun.

Does anyone actually believe they were her choices anyway? Simon Cowell has probably picked them because he can see a possible money making scheme - Cher is a bit different and might appeal to the hip hop crowd even if she doesn't win and Katie is annoying quirky and might do a Diana Vickers.

Decisions were made on possible $$ before the judges houses stage (IMO)!

oooh - I like poogles conspiracy theory Grin

do you think Cheryl was trying to give us a clue when she refered to Katie being unique as she sat there looking like Miss Madonna ,Butlins, Bognor 1988

lol - Madonna was the first thing I thought when I saw her too :o

I personally think that Cheryl should be fronting a campaign for a Malaria charity and using her fame to help people, rather than fighting her way back to health just so she can judge a crappy talent contest that isnt even about talent.

wholovesyou · 07/10/2010 13:11

Ah, apparently she is now an ambassador for a charity. However its being filmed by Comic Relief so forgive me if I dont feel all warm inside while she rides the good will train to more sympathy.

Of course they're not Cheryl's choices! They know who they want from the outset ... it's so clear by how they present the chosen few during the auditions.

Great fun though

Good point. I did think before that they were already chosen as the ones who have got through are the ones who were splashed over the papers from the beginning.
