I think the X-factor is the biggest pile of dung on TV. If they are good enough to do 1 show, with millions of ppl watching, and they do fine, give every one of them a bloody contract, it must be heart breaking for all but the winners, to get told, **** off you are not good enough, just so ****er Cowell can rake in more money. Its all manufactured ****e, whch gets to No1 at Christmas, nearly every year, apart from last year where only a facebook campain to get rage against the machine to no1 halted it, you may say its better than Bob the Builder and Mr Blobby but isnt that what Christmas is all about, stupid daft **** going on that is mainly for the kids, not manufactured ****e off a TV show. as you can tell i cant stand the show.
