The X Factor...

jumpguy · 04-10-2009 11:26pm #1

Am I the only one who doesn't have an undying passion for this programme? Watching Simon Cowell be a stuck-up prick half the time and then the other have oggling Cheryl Cole. If it was just a slide show of photos of Cheryl Cole, I'd personally love the programme and invest much of my time in it like every other peon.

However, this is interrupted by annoying contestants, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh. Then there's abit of singing in there too.

Bobalicious93 · 04-10-2009 11:35pm

Thanks for this. Now all the shite can be filtered into one convenient easy-to-avoid place.

G_R · 05-10-2009 12:55am

TBH i just watch it during the auditions to laugh at the ones who think they are brilliant put are really unbelievably sh!t.

the ones who argue with the judges saying im great you'll regret not picking me yada yada yada are the best ones IMO

Pigwidgeon · 05-10-2009 1:29pm

I've never really watched it. Might watch it the odd time at the start when all the terrible people are still on it.
It annoys me how obsessed people get over it, I signed onto facebook last night and pretty much everyones status was x factor related.

suitcasepink · 05-10-2009 1:35pm

I do like watching it and I neevr miss it but by later today I wont really care about it until next Saturday. I seriously just walked into my classroom this mornng and 5 people asking did I watch it and what did i think?? I then started saying 'See The Stars' raced brilliently(the irish racehorse that won) I never saw so many blank faces

:D

Oh yeh so I went for the first option coz compared to most people here im obsessed.

D4RK ONION · 05-10-2009 2:01pm

Where's the Atari Jaguar option?

Yeah, it's crap, I got bored of it 6 years ago

Fad · 05-10-2009 2:29pm

More importantly, why is there an atari jaguar option? Almost no one will get it.......

KnifeWRENCH · 05-10-2009 2:31pm

Voted for "It's alright" - It's watchable but I wouldn't go out of my way especially for it.
There was one really good singer on it last year (Ruth Lorenzo) but I haven't been following it much this year so I don't know who's good or not.

All I know is those gimp twins from Dublin should be tortured mercilessly voted out.

The female judges are grand, and Cowell can be funny at times, but Louis Walsh is a prat of the highest order.

So basically, if they got rid of all the Irish people involved, it would be a great show! :pac:

It sounds funny but yeh I don't get it!

Elaborate please?

lucky-colm · 05-10-2009 3:41pm

yeah i dont get that atari jaguar one either

nor that add that used to be on a few years back where some bloke stands up and says in a truly stupid dublin accent "i dont know what a tracker mortage is"

i think alot of people didnt know what a tracker mortage was and the funny thing is now they will never know HA!HA!HA!:D

Insect Overlord · 05-10-2009 4:16pm

Atari Jaguar, for those who didn't know.

D4RK ONION · 05-10-2009 5:02pm

thank you an file... Also that tracker mortgage one is brilliant, never fails to make of laugh!

jumpguy · 05-10-2009 6:15pm

No there's two I don't know options.

How do you not know if you like or hate something? If you're mid way you've the alright option. Ignorance is not acceptable.

The Atari Jaguar is a dying breed, I much would prefer a Commodore 64 option.

X factor is ****e. Do they not notice that even if you win you just get like two god awful singles, some sort of "album" that charts at like number 15 (and only that high because somebody thick enough to want to hear the ALBUM tracks of an X factor winner is probably too thick to figure out how to steal music) and then disappear? And what is up with the crying?? I have young kids in my family too, I don't weep openly every time they're even MENTIONED.

Haven't watched it at all this year but these twins have filtered through to my hearing so they must be awful

The crying is part of the X Factor, you need looks, Simon Cowell licking your arse, a reasonable sense of style and most important a sob-story. No matter how lame your sob-story (*sniff* my great-great grandfather died two years ago *cry cry sob etc*) the tears will always garner the votes.

Fad · 05-10-2009 6:54pm

I like having an Atari Jaguar option, but there's no point! It's funny, but if it has to be explained, the humour is kinda lost.

Do you really genuinely laugh though when you see it in a poll?

Well I actually think it's funny, and the fact I so seldomly see it (Dont really use After Hours), I suppose I do laugh.......

KnifeWRENCH · 05-10-2009 7:09pm

It's a damning assessment of the X factor when, in a thread specifically about it, most people prefer discussing the merits of Atari Jaguar. :pac:

Jesus Juice · 05-10-2009 7:19pm

The Twins..

^This is a ridiculous and highly irrelevant way of describing how I feel about them.

soccymonster · 05-10-2009 7:27pm

I probabaly wouldnt as much interest in it this year if the twins weren't in it.
Think they are seriously a laugh like.

The majority find them annoying (which i dont get

) but I find them hilarious! :pac:

cherrycool · 05-10-2009 8:03pm

Could NOT agree more, I never particularly like Louis Walsh but after that I hate him now!

Careful now!

D4RK ONION · 05-10-2009 8:42pm

Just to explain to the people weren't arsed to click an file's link, atari jag is for people who have no opinion on the subject but want to vote anyway. It's a time honoured tradition.

suitcasepink · 05-10-2009 8:52pm

^^LOL

I think people are being really rude about John and Edward. I mean people are going insulting them personally, not even just name calling but being really rude and its not fair on them, they dont even know the people. The show is most likely edited anyway to make everything seem more 'OMG' (the big thing about lloyd and ethian) and the two 17yr olds are getting really bad insults everywhere. Even on another forum on boards people were saying stuff, not repeating coz im not being banned and its seriusly just mean and unfair. It's not ther fault they were picked, if you must blame someone be it Louie(sp)

And its only because of all this that I want them to do well, coz i think eevryone is against them and it must feel horrible.

Ps. I feel like their mother or something posting this

:p I am just an annoyed X Factor viewer, not related in any way!

DancingQueen:) · 05-10-2009 9:03pm

I agree.
Sure if they didn't act like that they wouldn't have gotten through at all, i'm sure the producers made them out to be a lot worse than they are but i don't know them so i can't really judge

They make it more interesting anyway.

I didn't like the new format this year though. It's too much Britains Got Talent, they'd do anything to boost the ratings. Also don't like the sob stories, i know they're horrible things too happen but don't exploit them to get famous! : ]

Yeah thats what i thuoght. Just a way for them to earn more money buy selling tickets. It takes away the big 'getting to eprform infront of an audience' for the live shows though. They've already sang infront of audiences

SarcasticFairy · 05-10-2009 11:11pm

Hated it for years... Started watching it last year because it was all that was talked about in double Business first thing on Monday morning... Now I'm mildly obsessed.

Though, if John and Edward stay much longer, I can quite easily see myself not watching it....

Jay P · 05-10-2009 11:18pm

I watched it for the first time a few weeks ago and I really liked it! I haven't seen it since though. We also watched America's got talent and that was unreal.

ohthebaby · 07-10-2009 12:06am

THe sob stories really piss me off. I know the stuff that happened to them is really bad and like sometimes I do feel sad for them myself when I'm watching it but you just know that a person is going to get through when they are introduced as say 'mary who is recovering from the death of her dog' or whatever. So they all just annoy me.

Also there are moments that are just sooooo obviously a set up. A few weeks ago there was a young couple who had just broken up or something and of course the judges ask all the right questions and turn the whole thing into a saga... Yawn.

And then there is Cheryl Cole. I'm sorry but I do not buy her. It's like she knows what she's doing, being the caring judge and all that. I just feel she is being very clever and building up this image as the nation's sweetheart. I really, really don't like her.

It;s not jealously of her looks of anything, I swear... :P

But overall, those things annoy me but despite them I do watch it!

I hate da way CC and the minogue one ALWAYS cry. Does my head in but dey'd both well get it:pac:

DancingQueen:) · 07-10-2009 10:03pm

They do it to get attention, really annoys me because it's not just with the sob stories it's everytime someone sings a sad song

I'm looking forward to the next show though ; ]

Niall09 · 07-10-2009 11:58pm

Lucie... nom nom:pac:

I think it's a grand show, it's fairly addictive and good fun to watch.

Dunno what yee've been eating but Joe is obviously going to win!!

jumpguy · 11-10-2009 8:07pm

The scum is on again. I'm not even watching it and I can hear Simon Cowell's smug (from the living room). How I'd love to give him my best shot across the face...

bythewoods · 11-10-2009 8:20pm

I watched it for the first time ever last night... there were only two of us staying in Dublin for the weekend in my flat and m'flatmate wanted to watch it.. and I didn't want to be sitting alone on my room.

So yeah. It was possibly the biggest load of crap ever. I felt embarrassed watching it... I cringed at least 10 times. OH GOD.
What is wrong with you people?!

sock puppet · 11-10-2009 9:23pm

Kandy Rain didn't get through:(

Oh it's awfully cringeworthy....but damn it, it just sucks you in. I'm going to be bitching about how bad and fake this show is for the next few months while simultaneously being hopelessly glued to it. Damn you Cowell, you evil genius!

How the hell J&E got through is a mystery. Some people should just not be allowed vote....

suitcasepink · 11-10-2009 9:42pm

John and Edward were the first to be called out

How happy I am. Thought they had a great performnce even if the singing was average.
Them or Joe to win :P Even though next week being Diva week..

I really want them to win it. Imagine how hilarious it would be.

Gah.

Just seen that Irish two.

From now on, I'm American.

suitcasepink · 17-10-2009 9:27pm

I loved it! especially the bit in the middle "Hey Edward I have something to give you...." They sounded really fake :P

Did you see Cheryl about Lloyd? That really annoyed me. Overreation by Cheryl much? Then Lloyd goes over to give her a hug. Awwwww
