Apparently, Gingzilla (the drag queen) leaves Robbie 'deliciously confused' Grin. I wish Louis (Walsh) was there Sad

Now, I like Ru Paul's drag race- but usually, they lip sync, and it's rare that any or of them can actually sing. In fact, a big deal is made of the fact most of them can't.

I hope he dances- I'd like to see a death drop.

It's all getting a bit too gimmicky of late on X Factor though- but on the plus side, they are singing '7 Nation Army' by the White Stripes, and not something 'brave and life affirming' from the bloody Greatest Showman.Grin(Which is going on my X Factor 2018 Bingo card)

Not sure what nibbles I have , but I do have a bottle of wine. Which I might need. Grin

See y'all later

See, my mum is dead, but I can guarantee if I went on the XFactor she would be disapproving!! She would probably smite me from above. Actually I'm quite surprised she hasn't to date, as I'm pretty sure she will disapprove of many things I do!Grin

I remember one group who were told they were too old fashioned. If they'd worn dresses and done a shit version of YMCA they could have gone through.

Janus · 22/09/2018 21:53

Phleb that made me laugb!!
I got emotional but only because I knew Louis lost his mum and would find it hard.

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 22/09/2018 21:57

Well, till next week fellow sufferers!

dillite · 22/09/2018 21:58

platypus are you not here to suffer with us tomorrow?

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 23/09/2018 00:18

I may not be here to suffer tomorrow as I'm off to races!

Raahh · 23/09/2018 08:47

Well, my laptop went off, and I missed the end so I've just been catching up ( not that I missed much) Grin.

And yes- where are all the groups- there was a time they were desperate for a group to win, they really pushed for Rat Soup to win last year. This year, hardly anything.

And I'm still confused about the no Boot camp scenario, if indeed that is a really happening and I haven't made it up!

Oh yes! Rat Soup? Whatever happened to them?

Raahh · 23/09/2018 11:29

Rat Soup will probably be dragged out to sing their 'originsl' number on the first week of the live shows.

It will scrape in to the top 75, on the itunes chart, and that will be it.

They will be switching on the Christmas lights at a venue several miles outside a major city centre, on the same bill as a Frozen tribute act, very soon.
(I may have just described Bryan McFadden's careerGrin)

I have just had a quick look- and , oh we are being spoilt as this weekend there is not just one drag act but TWO!

Also, a gospel act.

And apparently- next week is the 'judges' deliberation round'. I am not sure if that involves them all sitting around Simon's house, drinking tea and looking at pictures, or what though. Grin

Last night must have been the worst ever. They were all bad and I miss Louis W winding Simon up.

dillite · 23/09/2018 19:40

3 whole acts tonight? Where will they fit them between all those ads?

Raahh · 23/09/2018 19:49

I am watching a truly ridiculous programme with Philip Schofield. I do not understand what is going on.

Are we ready for this?

TheFairyCaravan · 23/09/2018 19:58

Evening everyone.

Tonight is the end of the auditions then?

Raahh · 23/09/2018 20:00

Apparently so, Fairy. Then, we are thrust into the unknown Grin

Raahh · 23/09/2018 20:01

Oh, that was a helpful announcement.

There has been far too much focus on the judges, Knobbie and his missus in particular.

OP posts:
Destinysdaughter · 23/09/2018 20:01

This has definitely been pretty lacklustre this year, no real stars amongst them. I really want to care about some of them but I really don't!

Raahh · 23/09/2018 20:02

The whole of the last few weeks could have been shown in one hour, without all the bits showing Knobbie arriving in his in his car...

I think there was a woman that was being electrocuted to look excited in the audience. Surely nobody in their right mind would be this excited about these 4?

Raahh · 23/09/2018 20:03

Destinys I keep thinking about people, and realising they were from years ago.

Evening all!
This has been the worst year ever, I can’t tememver anyone that we’ve seen so far!
