Now I am not a fan of the show and only caught the last five minutes before the World War I documentary came on BBC1 but watched the biggest fix in TV history. How can a performer forget the words, swear and basically sit on stage in a huff get through against someone singing her heart out. Anyone voting on the X Factor has been conned. How can one of the judges be allowed to get away without making a decision at all. It's a farce and robbing the poor souls who vote. TV regulators need to look at this show NOW
 
I watched the show tonight and I am sure there will be repercussions after this debacle. We have heard the 'judges' say constantly that it is a singing contest and the will base their judgement on the performance and tonight their cowardice was shocking. My wife was ranting about it up until I sent her to bed so I can watch MOTD2.
 
It was a farce and a fix since day one when Gamu was binned by Cheryl for two numpties who forgot their words or even failed to sing!

Funnily enough one of these contestants got through again tonight? Fix??? Naw surely I'm just reading tooooo much into it!
 
It is a circus and only exists for simon cowell to sit and bask in his own awareness as he knows he can't lose.
Wagner must be appealing to the dolly birds!!
 
Its all a fix anyway,cowell did the same last year,did nt have the balls to vote the weakest one off as Brendy says he is only there to boost his already huge ego,prize knob in my eyes, rant over...
 
Wagner is kept on by the shows owners to keep the show at the front of the red tops.It is an absolute pile of pish,I watched it on Saturday night and out of the ten I would have given pass marks to the chubby black lad,the painter boy and the boy band......the rest were nothing short of dreadful,heard better sung by a bunch of pissed up folk in my local pub on any given Saturday night.For Cowell and the rest to sit and say they enjoyed Jiminez on Saturday is criminal,the Irish mother...how bad was that and as for the 1st 2 minutes of the scrawny lass who was 1st on,Cher is it?Jesus how painful was that?!!

I promise you that which ever no mark wins you will hear nothing of them in 8 months time....talent?Give me a break!!
 
I cannot understand how anyone can sit and watch this programme or those like it.

Total, mind-numbing drivel. Programming for the lowest common denominator.

Dreadful.
 
Matt and Rebecca are the only two who are any good, whilst Wagner is comedy value and the longer he's in will hopefully convince people the show is crap and a joke!

As for the judges, Cowell is an absolute tosser, Louis Walsh is clearly insane, and Cheryl totally annoying (btw - if she hates Ashley so much and has divorced him, why keep his surname? Oh yes forgot 'Cole' is so much better than 'Tweedy' for the old profile and ££££££!!) Don't mind the Minogue sister without the talent - she seems to talk some sense and at least cares about her acts.
 
for whatever reason we watched this and the dancing thing on Saturday (for godsake somebody re-bury Forsthye and leave him there this time!). they both show how much fixing is going on when truly cr*****p performers are allowed to continue while eliminating others who are at least trying. (yeah I know, it's to keep the prog in the news with punters moaning about the fixes.)

this year X-factor has one really good performer - Rebecca, which unfortunately means she has no hope as she doesn't fit the kara-oke image.

Don't get me started on Forsythe and that stupid blonde bint on the other side!!! IMO, Strictly will only be worth watching if it can guarantee Brucie will pop his tap shoes live on air!!!
 
Brucie - yes he fluffs his lines, yes he is about 98 years old, yes the catchphrases and terrible jokes wear thin BUT he holds that programme together and is a consumate professional - unlike presenters on some other programmes. This is light entertainment, and he can still entertain a wide spectrum of the audience.
 
Jamiroquai was on a week or two ago and called cheryl and danny a useless.. He said: 'What the f***. When have you ever done anything? You’re useless. The pair of you.

Makes him a legend in my book fair play to him..

The whole show is a joke.. Hate having to watch it every week with the other half.. But anything to keep the peace..
 
I don't think Wagner is being kept on by the show's owners at all. Quite the opposite in fact. I think they'd love nothing more than to get rid of him. I believe he's being kept in the show by people who are trying to make a mockery of it. Last xmas they pushed 'Rage Against The Machine' to no. 1 purely to spite X Factor. If Wagner wins this competition it will be totally hilarious. The look on Cowell's face will be priceless.
 
Didn't watch it so not sure what has gone on.
The missus watched Saturdays show. Isn't it all about the judges massaging their ego's. I think the "talent" is secondary.
Will be the same when that other tosh show of his comes on BGT.

BTW Cheryl Cole makes my balls retract.
 
It amazes me that people are only now comming to terms with the fixing on X-factor?

That show is the most manipulated load of junk ever to appear on TV, not because of the efforts of the contestants but the show itself.
They know who has won the show already, and just because the little geordie tart couldn't be bothered to vote clearly suggests a con. She should not be judging if she refuses to judge. Because these tossers have total control of the show and its ratings they can play games with their own egos at the expence of the artists. A judge in any other organisation would be binned for such action, a judge judges, if not, there is no purpose for them. So get rid!
Cowell controls the show and the judges no matter how much people think otherwise, what you see on the TV is a show, thats all, a SHOW, not a serious tallent judging contest.
