November 15, 20159 yr lol how hard can it be as presenter to remember how many votes each person has!! yes at Anton being bottom 3 though even if he didn't leave, I doubt he'll leave next week either but we should be seeing the last of him shortly!
November 15, 20159 yr I think Jennifer would have been eliminated in the first week. Middle aged black woman never last long in this show you know guys. :angel:
November 15, 20159 yr Author I know she was a twat but for her performance last night and her talent, Monica should have been nowhere near the bottom 3! Anton is terrible but thank god he was in the bottom 3, so h won't last too long.
November 15, 20159 yr I think Jennifer would have been eliminated in the first week. Middle aged black woman never last long in this show you know guys. :angel: Apart from... Brenda Edwards (4th Place) Beverley Trotman (6th Place) Rachel Hylton (6th Place) Fleur East (2nd Place) - not middle aged, but still fits the bill as an over The only middle aged Black Women who has exited Week 1 is Lorna Simpson for Sharon who was barely featured leading up to the lives. Maria Lawson is another example, but exited in Week 5
November 15, 20159 yr I still have no idea why Monica was so hated? Did I completely miss something there.
November 15, 20159 yr Oh, you can tell the Will Young fans are here! (i.e. those that rarely comment in these threads, but as soon as something goes wrong with Olly, they're quick to comment...) PRICELESS.
November 15, 20159 yr To be fair, that was a bit of a big cock-up on Olly's part. Monica knew the second he said that she was a goner, and he even said before Simon had voted that if he opted to send Monica home she'd be gone despite Anton being the one with two votes... I think if next week were a double elimination, Anton would definitely be gone, but obviously there aren't enough contestants left for them now, so I can see him lasting until week 5. :/ Anyway, really sad that Monica's gone, her sing-off performance was breathtaking, one of her best performances to date. Hopefully she'll go places though and get at least an EP out there. Max was one of my favourites, but I'm not that shocked to see him gone because last night's performance was just poor.
November 16, 20159 yr Author With 7 left now, the final will be in say 3 weeks... So it could be one more double and two singles. Or have 3 singles from now and then 4 in the final with one leaving on Saturday, that's possible.
November 16, 20159 yr Apart from...

Maria Lawson is another example, but exited in Week 5 You forgot Bupsi's exit in the first week of this series. As you said, Fleur is not middle aged and 6th place is not really a brilliant chart place. But even if a miracle would happen and Jennifer was in the final 12 and won this series she would be a Jennifer Who in 1 year exactly like Sam Bailey. Edited November 16, 20159 yr by Jason
November 16, 20159 yr Author Nobody said Jennifer would win :lol: But she has a powerful voice and seems a lovely woman, she could have done well ish. Given Simon has one act left in week 4 she would have at least done better than bloody Bupsi!! I mean she's not really a star, or a feasible seller, but nor is Anton and the judges don't seem to mind that.
November 16, 20159 yr Mason must have been 4th bottom. Surprised 4th Impact got through, not gonna lie! I'm not. They're brilliant!!!
November 16, 20159 yr The backlash against Olly is ridiculous. Especially after the tragic events that occured this week-end, you would think people should have other thing to be outraged by than a TV host making a mistake on an entertainment show. I don't even like Olly but people need to seriously chill about such non-issues.
November 16, 20159 yr Yeah this backlash is quite disgusting. I was reading some support from Olly on Twitter, including his Mom and Dermot which was sweet, but I couldn't believe the overwhelmingly negative comments. Steve Brookstein tweeted some insensitive comments that have been picked up too, comparing what happened to a Doctor telling a Patient he has HIV. His twitter is out of control right now as well. Olly has also cancelled his DVD screening citing "unforeseen circumstances".
November 16, 20159 yr It may be something as silly as The X Factor and nothing to get seriously wound up about, but at the end of the day it is his job, and he made a serious error. You could tell even Caroline was disappointed because when she had to read out that Monica *did* receive the fewest public votes when it went to deadlock, her face said it all.
November 16, 20159 yr Author People make errors at work every day. Obviously there are jobs like brain surgeons where making an error is fatal and can't be done but when you're a TV presenter on a talent show it really does not matter... I think he got confused and thought Monica had 3 votes to go so she was going, I don't believe he knew the result. Caroline just gets the info when she announces it I think.
November 16, 20159 yr Not to mention that Monica has been rejected so many times from the X Factor that I don't think she even cares. :lol: I wouldn't be surprised if she's the 8th act invited back for the tour. And for those saying he should be fired, these people have probably never got a proper job because making "mistakes" happen every day and fortunately you don't get fired at every single opportunity.
November 16, 20159 yr Everything is magnified these days because of social media and things do get blown out of proportion. However he is just awful as a presenter and this just topped it off for me. He looks very awkward and nervous even before this incident. Caroline mis-speaks at times as well and I wonder if she is nervous working with him.

I think we need to put this into perspective and realize that this is a god damn Reality TV Show. I think he was confused too, there was so much fluff coming from the judges in their votes. Shoe on the other foot, Olly and Caroline could never hold a candle to Dermot; but Dermot comes with years and years of experience, I'm sure he's made a mistake or two in his time.

I don't think it works with two presenters and it doesn't help that Olly isn't a natural presenter like Caroline and isn't very good... Idk what's wrong wit her though, she's not very good either and as much as I dislike the woman she's normally a competent enough presenter.
