X FACTOR -NEW SERIES starts Sat/Sun this weekend. And it's all change!

[Raahh]

Ok- we say every year we won't watch.

Then we do.

Granted it is usually the thread that keeps us going. Please don't leave me talking to myself

This year we have the return of Cheryl, and thankfully bye bye to Sharon. Shitsinger will be missed for her batty Nicole-isms. Chezza-Fezza-Vezza, as she is now known, was never as funny. And 'so-long' to Gary. We started off fancying him, and by the end we couldn't remember why.

One of the things that will put me off is Mel B. Couldn't stand her as a guest judge. She might be the reason I finally kick the habit

The minimum age has been reduced to 14 - they have tried this before, and it didn't work. They were 'too young. (so why bother letting them be in it then??) Wandie Liam auditioned at 14, and came back at 16 though.

Will there be ARENAS???

Can we wait?

yes we can

This guy sounds like he is in pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"it's quite sad" I'm so happy Scowell is back

Talky bit!

It must be a wind up. Or a bet. He can barely hold back the sniggers

I bet he has some awesome dreds under that hat.

I LOVE the talky bit. Let him win. Tuneless and bitter and in a tea cosy.
WORLD PEACE

Ok, in the background on the big 'X', who is the girl next to Leona Lewis (and above Olly Murs I think?) its really bugging me!

I though he said penis.

it has the same backing track.

Poor man.

Oh god, it's 1995 again and I'm stuck in a room with a man he thinks is talented.

Is shitsinger Nicole?

I can tell him about his future. Christmas number one.

YY, totally Ross.

Do we think Louis copped the World Peace? 'You're like a little Nelson Mandela'

shitsinger is nicole,

I want his to come back as his own twin brother, showing off his dreds.

He's still singing.

X FACTOR THREAD HOW I LOVE YOU

If I only I didn't have to watch the programme. Only just in, will have to catch up. Tell me, is it looking promising?

Rudy

How to sing someone into submission

Shaydon is the kind of guy who sits beside you on the bus and tells you that spaceships are spying on him.

this must be a piss take?

Yo Noel!

Oh thank fuck.

Oi- take the joanna with you!

I have subtitles on (don't ask) and everyone when Mel B talks says 'Mel C:'

Has rather randomly tickled me (as she'd hate the confusion) At least it took my mind off this bumpf (filler to eek out the auditions)

BOF - you're right. Throw in some bells and a choir and that's a Christmas hit right there.

Noel

If by promising you mean are there multiples of people who make you want to give up on humanity in general, then He'll yeah, baby it's promising
