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

Raahh, yes she is.
I quite like new Xtra presenter...

Oh God. I'm the only one watching Xtra. Whyyyyy??

Diana wannabe is vile, proper contender for CBB next year

I'm watching extra, this guy is the spitting image of my ex boss!

Chloe Jasmine has been on X Factor before - why didn't Louis or Simon recognise her, as they always mention it when someone has auditioned before... she also didn't sound so posh back then.

Skip to 27 minutes in to see her.

This show was spectacular!

Lithium did you recognise her?

There were quite a few in the trailers, in the holding room and queue that we recognise but couldn't quite place

17 do you honestly believe that every other contestant that has been on before is 'remembered' genuinely? Of course not, they are told who they are by the production company.

Do you honestly think the production company had no idea?????

The whole thing is one cynical, manipulative ploy.

Look at how they melded the blonde sisters voices into the track. There is no way they would sound like that, in a room, singing with a track. They had reverb on their voices and everything.

No I don't believe it's genuine at all, I was just wondering how you managed to find the episode on YouTube

It's panto, all these shows have talent spotters, contacts with music producers etc etc

But it's harmless weekend TV for the most part

Well, I said Chloe seemed fake as soon as she appeared- she has certainly changed her accent a bit now

Wonder why they didn't say she was a returnee- they usually make a huge deal of returners. Even the shit ones

Yah, her accent has definitely undergone a transformation. From 'nice middle class girl' to 'Duchess of Devonshire'.

And we know that the judges are primed beforehand to pretend they remember people. It is particularly funny on ' The Voice' where Tom Jones will swear he remembers some wannabe from 15 years ago.

Duchess of Devonshire- yes, she probably watched that Keira Knightly film a dozen times to perfect it. .

Loving the old school X Factor, cheers for the clip Lithium!

I preferred Chloe back then...

The Ex-Navy guy supported Rebecca Ferguson on her tour!

The Chloe clip won't work for me
Can someone tell me what to search for on YouTube?

Hearts

The X Factor UK S03 E05.

She is on at 27 mins.

PRIMED. PRIMED, I TELL YOU

Thanks.

Wow current Chloe is a bit of a put on act then huh. Didnt see that coming Do the producers think we're stupid?

She is a fame chasing monkey by the looks of things.

Check out her [[http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/damien+lovegrove/chloe-jasmine+whichello/chloe-jasmine+whichello/8393235/ book from 2011]

Nuddy pics?

I have had a rotten headache all day and feel quite sick, so i will probably miss tonight. I need to be ok tomorrow so I can get ready for dcs first day back at school on Tuesday.

So I'm relying on you all to watch and keep up the witty commentary.

And make sure some one has tissues for MrsW's dh

Get better soon Raahh. Sounds like a migraine, dark room and sleep for you.

Poor Raah. We will bitch extra hard for you.
