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?

MrsV!- - Rafa isn't playing in the US open.....

and my local Card Factory has had an entire aisle of Christmas cards for 2 weeksShock

NettOlympicSuperstar · 18/08/2012 17:37

Where's MmeLindt and Mehdismum?
They made me laugh on the X factor threads.
In fact my favourite MN post ever was by MmeLindnt on an XFactor thread.

What was it??

Rumours · 18/08/2012 18:06

Grin at Nicole Shitsinger

I lurked last year, can't believe it's that time of year already!

SugarBatty · 18/08/2012 18:16

Can I join?! I was preggers last year and didn't even know mumsnet existed. If mel b is on tonight I think my hairdressers cousin is on! Mel b was a right beyatch to him and the crowd all booed her! Soo glad louis still there!

LineRunner · 18/08/2012 18:19

SugarBatty, you have The Inside Knowledge!

GobblersKnob · 18/08/2012 18:21

Is it bad that I have been looking forward to it starting all day? And I have been sucked into CBB.

Bad bad bad telly choices Grin

Linerunner, she announced, completely randomly that she had just explained the difference between a penis and a dildo, to her German husband.
Maybe you had to be there, but it properly cracked me up, I cried laughing.

SugarBatty · 18/08/2012 18:25

I certainly do! The salon was rife with speculation if he may be brought back as a "wildcard" as they spent lots of time interviewing him. He raps, sings and beatboxes AND is easy on the eye (so I'm told!)

Wonder if dermy will wear a polo neck jumper tonight?

LineRunner · 18/08/2012 18:33

NettOlympic, I hope she'll be joining us tonight - that's the kind of random stuff that makes it all worthwhile.

I'm envious of you, SugarBatty - actual salon talk about the X Factor.

iluvkids · 18/08/2012 18:36

Am looking forward to this! Smile

NettOlympicSuperstar · 18/08/2012 18:44

I voted for her that year too, and she sent me lots of lovely stinky cheese from Switzerland Grin

BlingBubbles · 18/08/2012 18:51

Ooh I'll join in the thread too, I love the x factor. it does kind of make me think that winters coming...... But in the meantime i Might have to watch on sky + later as we are still all outside in the paddling pool and about to fire up the BBQ Grin

Raahh · 18/08/2012 18:55

there was someone on here the other year whose sister got to the finals, wasn't there. She was good, but ended up in a cobbled together girl group, iirc.

Will be interesting to see which way Lidl muffins follow up singles will go- Leon, Joe, Matt the hat, all failed miserably. By contrast, some runners up have been quite successful, like JLS.

I have vodka in the freezer, and dd2 is making me watch the Wizard of OzHmm...

Raahh · 18/08/2012 18:56

it's the hottest day of the year (apparently)- but yes, like the Coca Cola advert, XFactor makes me think of Christmas and winter!

NettOlympicSuperstar · 18/08/2012 19:01

It's warm here, but, yes, XFactor is cold winter.
I order takeaway, but bake during the day and give the takeaway guy home baking.
I suffer from SAD, but have white lights everywhere which help.

BeaWheesht · 18/08/2012 19:04

Hello I'm joining in too :)

Raahh - yes I remember the one who was an MNers sister and its going to annoy me now who she was...

I have started my christmas shopping so I'm fine with x factor being on

I hope there a few amazing auditions this time and a bit less of the weird ones. Though, I suppose, the voice was like that and it was utterly boring.

GnocchiNineDoors · 18/08/2012 19:20

I hope Dermy does his dancing too.

BlingBubbles · 18/08/2012 19:22

Oh yes I forgot about Dermots dancing.... It wast favourite

Raahh · 18/08/2012 19:23

Bea- I think the singer was called Graziella(sp)- but can't remember the poster's name. She was really good...it was a few years ago, now. Come's around so quick, does X-factor but it does take up a quarter of the year

SoleSource · 18/08/2012 19:33

I am in but I warn you I am harsh.

coffeeandwine · 18/08/2012 19:40

Can I join? I wasn't an MNer. Last year late developer
DH also said that's TV until Christmas sorted. Grin

NettOlympicSuperstar · 18/08/2012 19:53

I love Dermy dancing.

Raahh · 18/08/2012 19:56

Will there be a Yeo Valley advert? in fact, the ads are usually better than the show!Grin

rockinastocking · 18/08/2012 19:59
