The X Factor

[MusicToMyEars800]

Starts tonight 8pm on Itv!
I know it's early to start the thread, but love this time of year and love to watch trash Saturday night tv

Look forward to seeing everyone here later

I'll be here! I've seen 80's and Nancy have mentioned it on the Eastenders thread too haha.

Good It will be good to see the regular lot and have a good laugh.

Did i hear my moniker? Lol.
Im out tonight, but will read this thread and tape. Its on tomorrow too.
Looking forwards to a bit if a laugh on here.

Dh just mentioned it was Xfactor and Ice cream night tonight so had to double check it is tonight it starts. It's on here so much be true!

Hello!

Feeling a bit yuck- hoping it's not the start of a migraine, so will dose myself up and hope for the best

Sending DH out for nibbles, in case I feel better

I have got an indian supermarket style take away and some pizzas to watch with the dc tonight. Between this and bake off I will be seeing much more of the kids.

What it starts tonight...how am I missing all these announcements, I nearly missed cold feet if it wasn't for mumsnet informing me it starts next Friday.

Glad I'm not going to miss x factor, although last year I lost interest before the live shows

80's, Raahh Good to see you both and helloo to everyone else, Hopefully you will be better later Raahh
I have requested that OH bring me home some crisps and chocolate
I hope this year is better than last year!

Woo hoo, just came on here to see if there was a thread and lo and behold there is! Great to see you all, been on the last few and the Voice threads, but under a different name, it's the only thing that makes it worth watching! Look forward to some laughs with you all, tho apparently there won't be a novelty act this year and they are focussing more on pp doing their own songs at the auditions. Boooo!

Oh no! Their own songs? Cue lots of sentimental stuff and broken hearts, how they miss their 'great granny Ethel ' or how they had a rough time in the school sports day in the 00s and came last. Help us all!

80's I'm already laughing , I did hear that they will be doing their own songs for the winners song, instead of doing a cover.

I'm really looking forward to it, but avoiding telling anyone in real life!

Oh gawd! I cant see that being a goer somehow.
Nobody cares who wins it anyway.

ASauvingnon Nice username I don't have anyone in rl that watches it and enjoys it no mates My OH hates it.

My OH complains about it, then ends up getting involved and joining in with making sarky comments about the acts, while laughing at the comments I read out loud from the Mumsnet thread

My ( new ) DP is doing a Barbeque now and drinking wine already so will prob be sloshed by the time X Factor is on! Was a sad singleton when I used to watch it before and you all kept me company on a Sat night. Was so grateful for that so want to keep the faith to this thread even tho I have rl Company, fortunately he doesn't mind, I once had a partner who hated XF so much he made me watch it wearing headphones!!

Inigo, no more headphones!

Update: sweet corn cooked on a Barbeque is a fucking revelation. Gorgeous!!

Inigo It is a revelation indeed, it's bloody lush, I have another revelation.. If you like a flake on ice cream swap it for a galaxy ripple crumbled over the ice cream, it is amazing

I've poured myself a glass of pinot got crisps and chocolate at the ready and sent OH out to the pub with his friends

Im settling in,wiht my beer and nibbles.And smart remarks if the contestants[or even the judges]are crap.

Only 10 mins to go everyone I need to get a life

I'm here!! I have bought a box of walnut whips in honour of this momentous evening

I have just go rid of smallest child. DD1 usually watches with me but she has disappeared. I'm feeling a bi better for having slept most of he day

I hope there aren't too many original songs, they are bad enough singing covers!

Will we get auditionees as good as Raw Chicken though?

And there will be returnees, probably. I'm hoping Doll Woman comes back, but as herself, and totally confuses them. She didn't have a bad voice.
