Is it really that time again?
Are we going to have a thread about it?
The threads last year were better than the programme, I can't wait.
Who's in then?

Me, when's it back!

Who's the judges?

Raahh · 17/08/2012 18:43

The X factor threads are the highlight of my year..really, I am that sadGrin and I need to fill an Olympic sized void....

we had some cracking threads last year. Off course, we usually end up getting in trouble for being mean about the 'ickle children' who have not been forced at gun point to take part etc, and the winner will be shit, but it is Saturday night telly sorted for the next few monthsGrin

Does it start this weekend? It feels like only two minutes since the Lidl Muffins won in their carazy leggings. (although in reality I was pregnant when the final was on and now have a 7 month old DC!)

LadyBeagleEyes · 17/08/2012 19:34

Tomorrrow Frilly at 8 pm.
I was on the threads last year, and I remember a couple of pregnant posters
Have you name changed?

I was more of a lurker on the threads. They moved so fast that my input was limited. I'm trying to get a head start this year Grin

TheLaminator · 17/08/2012 22:19

Another one here who lurked along last year, will try and join in this time, rather than just reading funny bits out to Husband :)

LineRunner · 17/08/2012 22:35

Gary Barlow was on the ad - or was that a clip from last year?

LadyBeagleEyes · 18/08/2012 01:41

Judges are Gary, Louis, Nicola Shitsinger (to replace Kelly) and Tulisa.
But also they are doing guest judges this year, and tomorrow it's going to be Mel B.
I can't wait.

I can't believe it's on already! I thought it was usually September when it started.

Oh well, close enough I guess! :o

WildWorld2004 · 18/08/2012 16:41

Just read in the Daily Fail that Mo Farrah has been signed as a mentor. I do hope this is just the usually Daily Fail made up story.

Grin at nicole shitsinger

VivaLeBeaver · 18/08/2012 16:43

Marking place for tonight.

LineRunner · 18/08/2012 16:45

I write to Tulisa for a photo for my DD back in January. Nothing. Quite a relief, really.

Raahh · 18/08/2012 17:04

i really wish they had replaced Tulisa- she really was quite annoying by the end, and will be full of herself as the 'winning' judge. And I started off loving Barry, but went off him a bit . Very relieved Chezza hasn't come back though- all me me me . I only vaguely remember Nicole Shitsinger, when she did a stint as a judge. Can't remember whether she was a any good.

I do wish Simon would come backSad

Is it too soon to start the bingo card?Grin

LineRunner · 18/08/2012 17:06

Never too early for bingo Smile

cornybootseeker · 18/08/2012 17:08

according to the interweb Mel B is a right old cow and tells loads of people they have no talent and should stop deluding themselves.

LadyBeagleEyes · 18/08/2012 17:09

I miss Simon too. Sad
I do quite like Gary Barlow, but he's too nice, even when he's trying to be mean.
Oh yes, the Bingo card.Grin
Where do we start?

OP posts:
zeeboo · 18/08/2012 17:10

Oooh good for Mel!!

Raahh · 18/08/2012 17:10

lots of 110%, yes !

and you made that song your own etc...

I wonder who the ubiquitous, 'most -covered singer in the auditions' will be this year? Adele, again? ProbablyGrin

Raahh · 18/08/2012 17:11

I will down a pint of vodka the first time someone comes on and does 'Someone like you'...Grin

LineRunner · 18/08/2012 17:12

In which case I am very much looking forward to Mel B's contribution.

The bingo card:

  • I am the winning judge from last year (Tulisa)
  • You made the song your own (Louis)
  • Oh My Gaaaaaad! (Nicole)

Are they too boring ad obvious?

Raahh · 18/08/2012 17:13

The bingo card can never be too obviousGrin

NettOlympicSuperstar · 18/08/2012 17:15

Me, me, me.
The X Factor threads are the highlight of my year

MrsVamos · 18/08/2012 17:16

I might appear on these threads and join in occasionally.

I'm like Raahh, I'm missing my tennis and Olympics. Sad

Bit scary though...probably won't be long and there will be Christmas bits in the shops. Shock

NettOlympicSuperstar · 18/08/2012 17:17

I can't be doing with Nicole Showusyerknickers, mainly as I hate her pretendy gay boyfriend.

GnocchiNineDoors · 18/08/2012 17:17

Marking my place though I dont know how much ill be able to join in as dh will have the laptop abd these threads get too long for my phone to handle.

Am excited.

Apparently Jade will be back.
