i have just read the link on another thread and simon and shazzer are begging him to come back. I think its a publicity stunt!

lol

Carmenere · 23/11/2005 09:42

I think it may be a publicity stunt but then again why should anyone have to put up with the abuse that he has taken? He was only doing his job and even Simon said the other day that he diddn't think that Maria would have won anyway. It's only a talent contest and where is Steve Brookenwhatever anyway?

lucycinco · 23/11/2005 09:44

i didnt see the last episode so I dont really know about the abuse but i always think its like wwf wrestling or panto!

expatinscotland · 23/11/2005 09:45

He has? Good riddance. He's a waste of space.

laughinglil · 23/11/2005 11:58

anyone else think louis reminds you of a weird man that you wouldn't let your kids go near? oooo he freaks me out!

Carmenere · 23/11/2005 12:00

I know him in RL. He is a friend of my sisters and he is a really nice decent man.

gscrym · 23/11/2005 12:03

We can only hope they don't draught in Geri Haliwell and her dog as replacements. I reckon Sharons Minnie could take both of them in a fight!

Gobbledigook · 23/11/2005 12:04

Thank goodness - what an arse he is.

JoolsToo · 23/11/2005 12:05

do you really think so?

ratings, ratings!

Enid · 23/11/2005 12:07

surely this is utterly transparent?

gscrym · 23/11/2005 12:09

Louis Walsh has surely been in the business long enough to take a glass of water being chucked at him and various slaggings off from the other judges. Definately has to be ratings or one of them has something coming out for Christmas.

donnie · 23/11/2005 12:13

the other week Sharon made a really spiteful comment about Louis being in an 'Irish Mafia' which frankly I thought was outrageous and also very racist.No wonder he has resigned - I would, to get away from her!! it's not like he needs the money. Sharon is just vile IMO!!

RTKangaMummy · 23/11/2005 12:16

It is all a CON and to get people to watch on saturday

And if you fall for it then it will have worked won't it

Each time I look at him I think about a slimy toad

sorry if you think he is nice man in RL that is just how he comes over on TV, why not ring him up and ask him and then you can reveal it to everyone as a world exclusive

2 newspapers had EXCLUSIVES this morning !!!!!!

misdee · 23/11/2005 12:17

he has just flounced hasnt he?

QueenEagle · 23/11/2005 12:18

They obviously need to boost the ratings a bit so what better than a sensational story of Louis quitting???

Just heard on Radio One that Louis (or his PR) have texted in and said that he did indeed quit, BUT he wants back in. Publicity stunt, surely not ?! [wink

do yuo think hes gone to get a perosnality all of his onw

flamesparrow · 23/11/2005 15:54

Only if there is a shop somewhere he can buy one....

Didn't see Saturday's, but read that the water chucking was due to a comment he made about Ozzy, which is always bad ground with Sharon - you don't criticise her loved ones.

I'm still against both him and conways being allowed to do the show together anyway.

noddyholder · 23/11/2005 15:57

Why did everyone go nuts when he sent Maria home?It is his choice and I'm sure most weeks there are loads of viewers who disagree but that is the show.I would be pi*ed off too if I'd had water thrown over me.Sharon is so undignified and should know better Louis is an a*e but he isentitled to his opinion.No one would have bought Marias records anyway great voice but too old and looked v dated(runs for cover)

flamesparrow · 23/11/2005 16:01

For me it wasn't that he sent Maria home, it was that she was the better performer that night, and he chose the group he had loyalty to.

crunchie · 23/11/2005 16:01

Noddyholder get you calling Maria too old and outdated ;)

TBH Louis is a prize prat, people were annoyed at home as Maria was so obviously MORE talented than teh Conway Sisters, it makes NO DIFFERENCE if he knew them or not. She was better. So basically it was down to Louis personal agenda, not talent. Secondly he had a go at Ozzy, which is like a red rag to a bull with Sharon. I might not think her methods (with teh water) were mature, but there was no reason to slag off Ozzy.
