It is on in the living room and DP is watching it. It is predictable and so full of cliches. They say the same things over and over. You gave it your all,You look like a pop star sound like a pop star. You owned that stage. The judges pretending to care who they send home etc.
Then you get all the updates on the morning televison and newspapers. It is not news.

I cant stand it. Rant over, I am going to bed.

Goodnight.

I couldn't care less about X Factor.
I let it all pass me by and don't feel any poorer as a result ...
So, I suppose YAB a bit U to let it get to you but YANBU to not like it Grin

backwardpossom · 17/10/2010 21:09

YAB a bit U to let it annoy you so much Wink

proudnscary · 17/10/2010 21:11

Your dp is watching it eh? Hmm

potplant · 17/10/2010 21:12

I hate hate hate it.

Not least because I don't watch it yet I still know what's going on. It's all people ever talk about and it's all over the papers.

potplant · 17/10/2010 21:13

Oh and YANBU.

Prinnie · 17/10/2010 21:14

It's pure shite. Me - call me smug but I'd rather spend my weekend evenings having a shag marathon with Dh. ;)

discobeaver · 17/10/2010 21:14

I can see it would be annoying but I also think you can tune it out if you want/aren't bothered.

My mum wouldn't know Simon Cowell if he bit her on the bum, just not her thing. X Factor that is, not Simon's bum biting.

BelleDameAvecBroomstick · 17/10/2010 21:15

I bloody hate bloody X Factor and all the other talent shows.

izzywizzywoowooo · 17/10/2010 21:22

YANBU

I hate it! Utter shit! I like how the judges pretend to argue, all done purely for show! Be glad when it is over!

DuffyMoon · 17/10/2010 21:23

convinced it 99% scripted and pre-ordained.... still can never have enough middle of the road R n B ballads can we Hmm

potplant · 17/10/2010 21:24

Disco - I find it impossible to tune it out tho. Everyone I know talks about it, all my friends do a running commentary on FB, and it's in every single newspaper.

I'm with the OP

thelunar66 · 17/10/2010 21:30

yeah... agree... same old shite. Cheryl watsername weeps, contestents weep... you owned that song, you gave it your all, yadda yadda

hormonstersnomore · 17/10/2010 21:30

I'm with you LittleBear. I used to love it when it was a fresh new show - it's just tired old rubbish now. Love BGT though - looking forward to that, I think it starts in the spring.

mrscynical · 17/10/2010 21:46

It's the same old karaoke rubbish. I hate karaoke. But I hate all the scripted tears, arguments, sob stories, non-stop press coverage and 'pretend' judge spats even more.

Cannot believe that Slimon Cowpat can manipulate the public so efficiently to make himself a billionaire.

I despair!

readywithwellies · 17/10/2010 21:50

And they all seem to have lipstick on their teeth this weekend. Yes I watched it Blush

QuizteamBleakley · 17/10/2010 21:52

And not a one of them understands 100% - they're always "You really gave it a hundred and ten per cent" or "it's a million per cent yes from me". No it is not, y'bastards. It makes my pedantry microchip overload. One day my head will go POP.

Pacita · 17/10/2010 21:54

yanbu. It's shite, and it is equally shite that it's plastered all over the papers. Who bloody cares?

allhallowsandwine · 17/10/2010 22:07

anyway who got booted out?

Numberfour · 17/10/2010 22:19

well, it was SUCH a shock, the booting out! I would hever have guessed and poor Cheryl was devastated and yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah

2shoeprintsintheblood · 17/10/2010 22:21
