    Very disappointing

    Didn't they say as much in their VT intro though? They said they'd performed all over the world or something.

    Yea that was obvious. They hardly flew all the way from the Philippines on a whim on a chance they might only get through.

    Simon Cowell paid for them to fly over. The xfactor producers round up talent every year and ask them to audition.

    Yeah I was bemused myself with the opening act being a joke. I don't know why they feel they have to keep giving us that kind of "entertainment". I left the room when she and that double act were on as I just have no interest.

    I think this is a good time to tweak a quote from The Running Man for the first time this series... :o:o:D;)

    "You look píssed. Believe me, you have every right to be. But hey, will you just let me explain? This is television, that's all it is. It's got nothing to do with people, it's to do with the ratings. For sixty years, we've told 'em what to eat, what to drink, what to wear. For Christ's sake, don't you understand? Brits love television! They wean their kids on it! Listen, they love game shows, they love singing, they love young people and they love drama. So what do we do? We give 'em what they want! We're number one, that's all that counts! Believe me, I've been in the business thirty years!"

    Ratings are in and X Factor is now down to 5.9 million in the UK. Awful, awful audience figures. This show is dying.

    It was bank holiday weekend in UK though plus last weekend before school term so lots of people away. Next weekends figures will be more telling.

    That said I do think the standard is very high so far, particularly liked Sean the Australian, he reminds me a bit of Adam Lambert who I lovedvon American Idol. I think we could be in for some great live shows.

    Do these things not happen every year? :P Hasn't stopped XF in previous years, or indeed the huge ratings hit Great British Bake Off.

    I'd love it if Simon brought Louis back as his guest judge for Judges Houses rather then Sinitta.

    There are rumours going around that Simon is going to ask Tom Jones to do judges houses.

    It's like he is trying to get one over on The Voice by having Rita and Tom.

    Cheryl looks a little lost in this series. It's a pity, I used to look at her the way I look at Rita now. Funny how she's lost that appeal in such a short space of time.

    I'm not a fan of Rita and didn't like her on The Voice, too full of crap for my liking. Def liking Olly though but miss Dermot :(

    Just watched the two episodes there from the weekend. Simon is still missing his mean streak, but that's not new. I was cringing at Cheryl a lot, she seemed to be trying way too hard. Rita was ok, didn't see much of Nick at all, he seemed quite dull. I wish Olly was the solo host, but too early really to judge the hosts.

    Definitely missed Louis and Dermot. In the grand scheme of things, nothing had changed though. The new judging panel adds nothing to the format.

    A few very good acts however.

    I don't think I'll be pushed on making sure I see as many shows live as they air this year as I usually am. Just...meh!

    I don't think there is anyone here who doesn't want Louis back. :D:D

    The only problem is... up to now, male judges have always replaced male judges, and female judges have always been replaced by female judges. :o;)

    2008: Sharon was replaced by Cheryl.
    2011: Gary replaced Simon; Cheryl and Dannii were replaced by Tulisa and Kelly.
    2012: Kelly was replaced by Nicole.
    2013: Tulisa was replaced by Sharon.
    2014: Simon replaced Gary; Sharon and Nicole were replaced by Cheryl and Mel B (and, of course, Mel B was replaced for part of the final by Tulisa).
    2015: Nick replaced Louis; Mel B was replaced by Rita.

    At this stage of the show's life, Simon will almost certainly stay on the panel to the bitter end - so if he were to bring Louis back, then in all likelihood Nick would be handing his seat back.

    I can't see him stabbing Cheryl in the back again, either. :o

    To be honest im not loving it this year.It seems very lacklustre.You really miss Dermot but i think Olly would be better on his own.I dont think he gels with Caroline now they have to be a bit more serious.

    This might be the year I finally get into strictly though.

    Glad to see little miss Cheryl landed with the groups, for to many years she was "above" taking the overs or groups.

    I would of liked Simon to get boys and Nick the overs.

    Nick getting the olders would have been brilliant. Why couldn't the voters understand irony. :pac:
