Ayda field on xfactor

53 replies

Is it just me or does she not seem to fit on the panel? Im not sure why she was signed. In saying that I think this may be one of the worst x factor judging panels ever.

Surely RW said he would only do it, if his wife was allowed to join in
?

As very much doubt they would have picked her otherwise
Very dull and very American plus they act all coupley which they are of course but it’s odd

Lululemonade · 15/09/2018 20:40

I don’t mind her actually but I do find it hard that she would sign up when she knew she was trying for a baby. Surely when the live shows start they will be v busy all weekend and unable to look after their newborn? And knackered from lack of sleep etc?
I know they have probably got nannies but still....

mrsnolasco · 15/09/2018 20:41

I don’t rate her at all. I feel like she isn’t allowed her own vote, and seems to just agree with him. I’m not watching tonight, it’s always the same old shit anyway; and now it’s turning into the Robbie show.

Beargoesgrr · 15/09/2018 20:44

I actually quite like her, I didn’t like the idea of her being on the panel, and don’t particularly like Robbie, but enjoying seeing them in the xfactor.

Not a fan of Louis.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/09/2018 20:44

Aside from Simon is don't think any of the fit on the panel. There's no character or spirit In them and There is zero chemistry between them.
I miss it being just Simon Louis and Sharon.

LardLizard · 15/09/2018 20:52

Louis although good looking doesn’t have enough personality to carry the role off
They need a comedian or a wildcard on there like Sharon Osborne who you never knew quite what she would come out with

LardLizard · 15/09/2018 20:53

Agree there is zero chemistry
Simon is struggling without a dolly it’s by his side, that he can drape his arm over her chair and whisper too....
Perhaps that’s where one direction boy is supposed to step in !

NoBirthdayHugs · 15/09/2018 20:54

@lululemonade - surely you could say the same about Robbie applying to be on the panel when he knew he was trying for a baby. Or is it only women who should be making sacrifices to look after the baby?

Lard lizard I was thinking the same! RW only signed if she was. Beargoesgrr I don't like Louis either but he is very good friends with simon which is why he was chosen he seems to have 4 comments only that are recycled over and over. Awwlookatmybabyspider I really miss Sharon and Louis they have always made x factor for me. I'm thinking this is going to be the last episode I watch this series. I'm just not impressed by the judging panel at all

Oh is that who it is! Watching tonight not having seen it for a few years. It’s very flat compared to what I remember. No chemistry on the panel.

She’s an actor isn’t she? I remember her being good in ‘Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip’ (travesty that didn’t run for longer). She looks very different, but I guess it was over a decade ago. What has she done since? What’s her qualification to be on the panel, apart from being married to Robbie Williams?

ScrumpyCrack · 15/09/2018 21:05

I’m really enjoying Robbie but haven’t even noticed the other two additions.

Simon, Robbie, Louis and Sharon would be great.

ScrumpyCrack · 15/09/2018 21:06

As in the Irish one.

I only know her from a few appearances on loose women not sure if she was an actor in the States though.

TomHardysNextWife · 15/09/2018 21:08

I watched about 15 minutes of the 1st show and turned over. It's like a show for failed cosmetic procedures by the look of the panel.

Yeah. I actually miss Nicole. I don’t mind A but where is her musical background ?

MozzieMagnet · 15/09/2018 21:12

Hate all four of them especially the fake gawping from Robbie and Simon when they look like fozzy bear with no teeth.
I'm sure they speak very highly of me!!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/09/2018 21:14

Or as my nan used to say.
I don't suppose they're madly in love with you either.Grin

sunshineNdaisies · 15/09/2018 21:20

I like Robbie and Louis on the panel but ayda doesn't belong and she looks like a fish

She can't even clap properly. She's doing a nicole kidman

HazelBite · 15/09/2018 21:22

I suppose they have to change the panel to get you to appreciate the line up of Sharon Louis Simon ans Scherzy

Jimdandy · 15/09/2018 21:33

I like her, but I don’t think she belongs on the panel. I think they should have Sharon Osbourne instead.

I don’t know what it is about Louis, I just don’t like him.

CSIblonde · 16/09/2018 07:01

I think while it's nice of RW to get her the job (She acted in soap operas in the US I believe), the message it sends to me is he needs a nursemaid/security blanket. And he's definitely doing too much alpha male dominating of proceedings whether he realises it or not.

CSIblonde · 16/09/2018 07:12

And Louis sounds all squeaky like comedian Jon Richardson!

GreenRut · 16/09/2018 07:26

I read something this week that sharon Osborne will be back for the live shows. Maybe as a replacement for RW and AF as they might be going off to be with the new baby?

Lululemonade · 16/09/2018 07:26

@nobirthdayhugs I didn’t word it well, I meant why would both of them want to be away working so much with a new baby.

PoxAlert · 16/09/2018 07:33

I think the whole show has run its course and needs replacing.

We (half) watched the first episode as were on holiday with family at the time who wanted to see it.

Both agreed that'll be the first and last viewing of this year's show. RW is intolerable.
