Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already on EDF but is this the worst X factor in history?

I know we finally got rid of Honey G last week, how she was actually taken to the live shows is just beyond belief but the rest of the contestants are not good at all. That Matt Terry guy is really overrated in my opinion, I did like 5AM but the more I hear them the less I like them.

Is it just me?

Am I being over critical?

LOL


I think the judges are so insincere and I didn't recognize Nicole #too-much-surgery?


And the singing? Oh dear. Then the outfits..... One looked like a Christmas Tree, but blue.

We had horror-shivers at Simon's open shirt and hairy chest.


We only had it on this Saturday to reaffirm why we don't watch it

I very much doubt it's the worst ever. It's always been total shit, but you're just getting to the point where you can't take it anymore.


I watched it (well the live shows) for a couple of years, going back a few years now. I'd even go so far as to say I enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure. But then I just couldn't be bothered with it anymore. I don't think it had dropped in quality, because it never had quality. I think I'd just had my fill.


See also The Apprentice. Used to be the only reality series I'd call myself a "fan" of (I enjoyed watching how clueless they all were). This series I just haven't been able to motivate myself to watch a minute of it. Just not interested anymore.



So basically, I think you've probably just had enough X Factor in your life.

Apprentice and X-Factor... both only worth watching for the disastrous car-crash performances, and even then the novelty wears off pretty quickly. I'm not entirely sure where tomorrow's essential musicians are hiding right now, but I suspect it's not singing Britney Spears songs on ITV.
Having had to endure X-Factor week in week out for approx 165 years, with barely any Saturday nights out during that time, Mrs. adonirum declared a few months ago "This is c**p this year", and promptly stopped watching. Believe you me, that really is a yardstick with which to measure it, so yes, it must/has to be !! (As usual, not seen it myself).

I think you are right, maybe I've mature & realised how rubbish it really is lol


You are right Beej - I do need to take back my dignity :)


Otta - The Apprentice has also got to pot, the contestants are pathetic this year. I can't understand how these ppl run their own businesses!


Think I may need to take up a new hobby!

If they had competent contestants, the programme would be really boring and even fewer people would watch it .....


It's not a real competition, is it. It's television.


Sorry to say I do still watch it, though this may be the last time. It's a tired old formula which they've tweaked a bit over the years but not tweaked enough to rekindle interest.


As for X Factor, I have never seen it apart from on Gogglebox.


Apart from not wanting to listen to crap music, the sight of Simon Cowell's smug face just turns my stomach :(


ETA: Mind you, I'm beginning to feel the same about that woman on The Apprentice. Karen Brady?

I'm sure Ive seen Honey G at one of those catawaulalongafolky things in Nunhead recently.

It's crappy Saturday TV for sure, (much like SCD and IACGMOOH)but it does make me laugh sometimes. And what with the way the world is going slightly mad, i'm good with a bit of Saturday crap TV.


But, do I care who wins?


NOPE, and once it's over I couldn't give a toss about any of it.


Now when's Britan's Got Talent on next?

Huge sigh of relief it's all over now & the winner is Matt Terry?? How did that happen?

Well I am confident to say I won't be tuning in next year after this series, but the proof will be in the pudding!

Saturday nights are free now & hopefully be used in a more productive way, maybe watching some paint dry :) lol

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
