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

What? Are we not going to nip over to itv2? More auditionees to devour :-)

Oh

Not a Journey song then. The feckin journey he is on. X-Factor bingo.

Thank you squoosh . Slightly shorter this year then.

I always get a warm fuzzy glow when people have their first go on an XFactor thread

MrsW my DH was sobbing like a baby at DIY Fucking SOS last night. I think we should hook them up.

MrsWolowitz watch out, soon he'll be lighting a few candles and popping on a Richard Clayerman cassette.

Right. See all y'all tomoz.

Yes! Didn't realise it was on again tomorrow. What a treat!

I'm watching the xtra factor while waiting for my dinner,

Who is this person in the clumpy shoes?

Anyone doing Xtra?

Oh they are trying to be like something off kids telly. Or that brother and sister group. Sarah and someone?

Someone stole Timmy Mallet's DNA and created these hideous monsters.

Same difference

I'm not doing Xtra Factor, I'm watching Through the Keyhole.

Labour will be more fun then watching these two

Dunno, some of her 'lose' tops but I've not got my glasses on so I could be wrong...mention of the loo too?

Right time to switch over as I hate that lemon head!

Ouch.

The ex navy guy already had a record contract -did they mention that?

I must be drunk. I kind of like them...

Dont like the new xtra factor presenter
In my opinion Caroline Flack was so much better.

The auditions were end of April, before Cheryl got married, and she would be at least 5mo preg now, so I don't think she is there.

I think she might be for live shows though.

I don't like new presenter either. Caroline Flack and Olly Murs for me

isn't Caroline doing Strictly?
