X Factor - New Format

[gsr600]

Anyone else fed up with the second show, same contestants as last night who got through singing again but to an audience, rather be watching Dragons den.

[DJHawkes]

i'm not quite getting the format, is this what they are going to do each weekend? saturday night the room auditions then sunday night the audience? seems wrong, possibly a mistake, it will seem jumbled up.

[flump1]

I only watched last night to see the bad singers...and the panel's reactions ! Tonight is dire.

[DJHawkes]

It just seems so slow and dated, like repeats from 10 years ago,

[pusskin]

I think tonight is much much better than last night.

[flump1]

The ' rock star ' debacle was quite funny !

[tamaris]

I don't get it either

[Fanriffic]

You can't polish a turd. X Factor lost it's sparkle after Series 2. It's just the same old, same old. Not worth watching unless you are under 16 which is the target audience.

The only way to get this nonsense of our screens is not to watch it so the viewing figures go down and ITV and the Simon Cowell circus get the message.

I see this show as the countdown to Christmas.
Need to start planning which box sets to watch on Saturday and Sunday nights or maybe start going out again to the cinema.

'Castle' Fanriffic, if you haven't already, excellent latest season

[tonyav]

Agree with what he says ^^^^^^^^^^

[andy-hughes]

What I find excrutiating are the cutaways they use.

A cutaway is when the camera goes to a quick shot of a judge - and back to the contestant - it's used to edit two sections of film together.

I can only assume they have asked each judge in turn to assume a selection of expressions - amazed / surprised / emotional / shocked,

although in view of the faces we are getting, it's more like -

gormless / constipated / shot at / hand trapped in door / ready to vomit / camp / unsure what's going on ... the list goes on.

It used to be just Louie, which is fine because he is utterly meaningless, and I am unable to remember anything says five seconds after he has finished saying it, but now this has spread to all the judges.

Either it's in their contract, or they don't see the finished edit before broadcast, or they have no say in it once editing is complete - why else would they allow such images to be broadcast to a watching public?

[sir.prize]

Very often the acts are edited into an order. Invariably a better acts finishes the show. That final act tonight looked rehearsed to give effect.

[weecalf]

I would agree if the bbc agree to move it to bcc radio 3 at half past three every other sunday morning

[gsr600]

forget lyrics, forget the final, no second chances.

[Caribeing]

Agree about forgetting the words Simon Cowell would just have said that's it you have had your chance and blew it. Find Nicole irritating all posing and looking for attention, no personality. Tonights show just a repeat of last nights.

[Caran]

I really only enjoy the cr#p acts so this takes away my enjoyment of Sunday night shows.

[Georgiesmum]

I was really pleased to see they have cut out a lot of the rubbish acts now, makes for a much better show.
iI thought last nights show was a lot better than the one on saturday.It made it worth watching.

[Tizzi24]

I used tp love XF, but the last 2 or 3 series have gone down the drain. Now that they've bought Sharon Osbourne back, I don't think I'll watch it any more - can't stand her.

[viv38]

Couldn't agree more Tizzi .....
