Doesn't time fly, when they really shorten the format?
Grin

I think the audition stuf was just a bit pointless, and now that Jenny has been re-instated, and Vinnie Jones is in, without even having to sing, it makes it seem like they all got a nice jolly abroad. The Only one who took is seriously was Jezza Edwards, who was deluded into thinking he could actually sing Grin.

Re-cap of who is who (can't find a proper list of who is singing what other than Megan is singing an original again)

Simon and the Groups

The Islanders- Love Island alumni
V5- female group of Social media influencers
Try Star- Rugby players .
Max and Harvey- twins with a CBBC show

Louis and the Unders
Olivia Olson- best known for Love Actually- aged about 12
Megan McKenna- Someone from Towie. Who has already released things.
Kevin McHale- a singer from Glee
Jonny Labey- actor and perdormer. Probably better at dancing.

Nicole and the Overs
Ricki Lake- Presenter and actress.
Victoria Ekanoye- Corrie Actress
Martin Bashir- Journalist. Not known for singing.
Vinnie Jones- Footballer and actor
Jenny Ryan- The Vixen , from The Chase. Was dumped. Is back.

So there you are.

I have vodka. No Stoptover for me. No sirree.

Grin.

Oh, and we will find out who leaves tonight, no Sinday show anymore! Shock

@TerfTalk you appear to be the type of audience Simon is appealing to ha......

dillite · 26/10/2019 22:18

Night all. I am off to watch the movie about the Syrian war on 4+1.

TerfTalk · 26/10/2019 22:21

I respect Vinnie for not wheeling out a sob story ballad, which he could have easily done

JaneJeffer · 26/10/2019 22:22

I'm recording that dillite.

So glad it's not on Sunday as well.

MyNewBearTotoro · 26/10/2019 22:23

Ridiculous. I think Olivia was so crushed because she must have thought she was obviously going to stay over somebody who couldn’t sing. Her song choice was bad but her voice good. If the public wanted to keep Martin he wouldnt have been in the bottom 3 so don’t know what Simon was thinking, but any integrity the show might have had has definitely gone now.

Loveislandaddict · 26/10/2019 22:27

Vinnie didn’t have the best singing voice, but did do a good performance.

I can’t believe how much they are worshiping Martin. He really wasn’t that good.

dillite · 26/10/2019 22:29

Jane it's not easy to watch

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 26/10/2019 22:39

Just watching that Megan girl, can't get over the gonks on her feet!!!!Grin

museumsandgalleries666 · 26/10/2019 23:29

The whole programme, and others like it, is a cynical con, firstly letting Jenny go then reinstating her, now keeping bashir over olivia. And the judges are all awful, Louis is a particularly toxic, hideous unpleasant man. Watch but don't vote, hurt them in the pocket, they don't understand any other language.

VanyaHargreeves · 26/10/2019 23:38

Votes are free this year though

museumsandgalleries666 · 27/10/2019 00:32

Free votes? Really? Well that's knocked me back 😳 how can I show my disdain and displeasure if I can't withhold voting money?

BitOfFun · 27/10/2019 01:30

Vociferous bitching is all we have, I'm afraid, museums.

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2019 08:09

To be fair, Americans rarely do well on the U.K. X factor : there have been a few over the years and most are voted off early.
Not sure why though!
I did feel a bit sorry for Olivia though and it's true , if this were a normal series M B would be gone , or not even at the lives to start with!

VanyaHargreeves · 27/10/2019 17:41

The fascination with having Martin on does seem a bit Confused to me, he very clearly cant sing

museumsandgalleries666 · 27/10/2019 17:59

Understatement !

XoandRogelio · 27/10/2019 18:03

Is there no 'normal' X Factor on this year then? Just this celebrity version?

Adam Lambert is on the -Strictly results show. I love him. Shows how much better the competitors of the US versions of these shows generally are. He was runner up on American a decade ago and has had a very varied career.

X No. GrinThere is supposed to be an 'All stars' version- but every week I read of a previous winner /ruuner up refusing to take part (wise move ) Grin.

Cowell obviously sees Martin as his coup. He's a journalist ffs!! He did a couple of famous interviews for Panorama. He's nothing special.

XoandRogelio · 28/10/2019 07:07

@42Raahh Yes, very wise move! Grin

I will be out tonight, my sister is having a Hallowe'en party.

It is throwing it down though, and the party is usually is in her garden.

We will freeze.

Anyway- in my absence, I hope you all enjoy (if that is the word) this evening's proceedings.

It's on at

8.30pm

I have been very lax and can't figure out what is being sung.

I may be back to watch, should the whole thing be a wash out .

Enjoy ! Grin

I will probably miss most of it because Katie Taylor is boxing Hmm

dillite · 02/11/2019 20:29

dillite · 02/11/2019 20:34
