yanbu. This is the first year I haven't watched. I've had it with the whole thing.

In all the years they've been doing these things the only decent acts they've found have been Will Young and Girls Aloud (ok, manufactured but good at what they do).

I am so looking forward to this years anti- X factor Xmas No.1.

Oh Cheryl! The Nation's Sweetheart! She weeps! She looks lovely! She comes from Newcastle and hasn't she done well! PAH.

EggFriedRice · 24/10/2010 21:36

God I despise Xfactor.

All my Fb news feed is about it. Who's going, who's staying, who's wearing what etc.

And I seem to be the only person out of my friends that doesn't watch it.

God bless my ER, CSI and Friends dvd boxsets!

ElectricSoftParade · 24/10/2010 21:40

I know I don't need to watch it but... it is EVERYWHERE. Wanders off to turn on R4 and sigh happily

Ambles back Agree with the CDWM EggFriedRice

Something sooo trite and cheesy!

i despise the x factor and all it!s ilk. I was ruined by watching Oppertunity Knocks sp?when i was little. I hated it and used to hide behind the sofa and cringe with embaressment sp/ (sorry tired) .To this day i can`t go to any kind of live show and my ds puts on ones that he has wriiten, produced and everything and i still can¬t go

Ragwort · 24/10/2010 21:45

Simple - don't watch it - I have never watched it, or any of those other similar programmes, don't have FB either Grin - it's certainly not 'everywhere' in my sheltered life !!

ElectricSoftParade · 24/10/2010 21:49

Ah, that may be why it seems to impose so much. Need to get off FB too. --weeps- but bravely lifts chin to the new dawn!

It's a bit of fun and sadly now my Saturday night in. It does get obsessive though.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 24/10/2010 21:52

Hate it !
