November 16, 20195 yr Jesus f***ing christ :rofl: I mean this series is BAD but that..... I mean it's not even about the fact Vinnie is the worst contestant to "grace" the stage, the fact they had the nerve to do a SING off and Kevin performed like that, Vinnie literally ASKED TO GO and Simon still had to f*** it up. I don't know how he can sit there and prattle on that you "have to want to win" and how x and y could be recording artists, then go all out to keep someone who cannot sing a note. I mean Simon must be either trying to sabotage the show, or he knows it's past its best and is trying the only way he knows how to claw at getting headlines and a bit of attention, by causing the biggest stir possible with the most random results. I mean, it was 100% the right bottom 2 for once as both were awful in the main show, but Kevin absolutely slayed the sing off. That's the whole point, you give it your all when it matters and you're safe. I knew Vinny was staying when Simon had to seize control though. What I don't get is, if Vinny wants to go, can he not just go? He could have gone at any point in the last few weeks if he wanted to, nobody is holding a gun to his head and making him perform! I'd be absolutely fuming if I was say Kevin, Jonny or Victoria who seem to want this chance with every bone in their body, and are cast aside while Vinnie is allowed to keep on. It just makes a complete mockery of it all, the show is beyond a joke.
November 17, 20195 yr I agree Liam. I do feel like Simon has just been trying to get headlines and shock results are his way of doing so. It’s shocking how this series has went though’ I didn’t have much expectation but pretty much every week we’ve lost someone who can sing whilst the joke act is still there. If someone is literally saying send me home too just let him go! I mean neither are gonna slay the music world but I could see Kevin having success in theatre Edited November 17, 20195 yr by Jordan Lee
November 17, 20195 yr Idk, maybe the cynic in me is coming out but... why do I feel that Vinnie saying he wanted to go all staged and to get sympathy from viewers? Lol. Like, they'll think "aww it's not his fault. What a lovely chap/geezer" etc.. putting him in line for stronger support next week? Why doesn't he just throw a curveball and quit? I'd personally respect him far more if he did that.
November 17, 20195 yr Everything about this series has been a shambles. Simon is so out of touch, it is hilarious and yep it is clear he’s only here trying to make headlines now. However, I think the show would have more viewers and be respected if he kept the best singer rather than try do what he thinks the public want to see.
November 17, 20195 yr Wow, we had some phenomenal performances this week. It was tough to see Kevin to go but there are a lot of strong competitors left in the competition. Here are my thoughts on the act this week. Kevin: Absolutely amazing rendition of I Feel Love, this is one of his strongest performances yet. Go Artie! Max & Harvey: The completely slayed as per usual, well done lads! Jenny: Amazing performance and I'm so happy she's through Megan: Another well written song from her, well done Vinnie: I found his initial perforance qutie shouty rather than singy but his sing off performance showed off his vocals in a better light V5: I love a bit of Jessie J so well done to them and it's good they avoided the sing off after being in it last week. Try Star: Absolutely phenomenal! They delivered a winning performance this week and the song was incredible. I want them to win. They are amazing and super talented. Well done lads!
November 17, 20195 yr Omg could it go sub 2 million? :rofl: Idk if it quite will but considering it started with 6.5 million, 2.5 is bad enough!

I'd personally respect him far more if he did that. Very true! Ngl you're probably right, because legit who is stopping him from going if he really does want to? I saw a few people like "aw I feel sorry for him he doesn't want to be there" but he's a grown man who can just leave if he hates it that much. He could have protested or just walked off and refused to stay. If it was me, I'd feel awful that I was still there when I didn't want the record contract etc., seeing so many talented people who want it so badly go. Sad thing I think it'll work, he's gonna get the rebound vote to the final and even if by some miracle he does go, I bet he gets the wildcard thing Simon randomly added in when No Love Lost went :lol:

I'd personally respect him far more if he did that. I would have respected him more aswell if he did quit plus it would show that he is thinking like the rest of us. The falling ratings are no surprise, nowadays I record it and skip through most it as I don't think I could sit and watch it in full, there was a time and a long time where the show excited me and now I'm like oh whatever.
November 17, 20195 yr It's out of habit more that I watch it, and the fact that it's usually on after Strictly when I've got the telly on anyway so I just carry on because there's not really anything else on :lol: And part of me wants to keep going just to see how bad it gets in a way. I think next week it's gonna clash with Strictly more so I'm A Celeb doesn't come on at gone 10 and I shan't bother then. The final clashes for an hour too so actually I think it might go sub 2 million (maybe not with its peak after Strictly but still).
November 17, 20195 yr We're one of the households that has switched off. I usually tolerate this show because Mr D* likes it so much but I really can't with this one.
November 17, 20195 yr 2.5m is shocking!!! I never thought it would ever get to a level like that! Megan’s CBB series probably got more viewers or as many than that and that shows no longer on air :lol:
November 17, 20195 yr To be fair, 6.5 million was consolidated data (including +1 and catch up) IIRC.
November 17, 20195 yr May well be even lower next week with Michael McIntyre's Big Show returning! @1196001925516410886
November 17, 20195 yr I’m not really one to obsess over or look at ratings that much but god that drop is terrible and tbh it’s well deserved . The series had a lot of promise but was ruined once again (mainly by Simon). Edited November 17, 20195 yr by troylovesmusic
November 17, 20195 yr 2.5m is indeed lower than that series of CBB, that had a series average of 2.8m with a lot of episodes being the high range of 2m or low 3m. I'm the same Troy I'm normally not fussed about ratings but you can't deny when it gets this bad!!
November 17, 20195 yr X Factor in general really needs a break tbh. The average ratings for The Band version will probably be around the same as what we got last night as well. It’s shocking how they’ve dropped though! I’m genuinely really shocked it’s got to the 2m mark. Simon is really out of touch too I don’t know what he’s thinking but it’s just like really :lol: . I’m almost watching out of habit rather than enjoyment when this used to be show I’d watch with my full attention I’m now scrolling on my phone and chatting away when it’s on. I’ll probably not watch the Band series but I’ll likely stick with this one till the end and make this my last series unless it goes off air for 3 years and returns back with a fresh current panel and no celebs or they just make the format more back to basics and base it off talent. Like even on normal X factor we had some stupid deadlock like decisions like Jedward and Rylan overstaying their welcome and being saved over genuinely good singers but when someone literally asks to go and they keep them over someone who’s actually taking it seriously it’s a bit of a joke. Vinnie going on to win might just be what the show needs to wake the judges mainly Simon up at wtf they’ve been doing. Megan is my favourite but I really feel like her being runner up will do her better. Edited November 17, 20195 yr by Jordan Lee
