October 1, 20195 yr I can't even see anything to suggest to me those girls are even influencers :lol: One look at 3 of their Instagram profiles shows them to be just... Latin musicians who haven't made much of an impact. So strange. Legit the biggest barrel scrape ever on a reality show I think? :lol: I can't think of a worse one, even if they WERE influencers in Latin America how on earth would virtually anyone in the UK know them! I guess Sofia must be some kind of known celebrity (even just via social media) to have 2m followers and be verified, but the others... Maybe Simon scouted her and put some Pussycat Doll esque backing people in and hoped nobody would notice.
October 1, 20195 yr Kevin could be the shock exit too He’s he one who I’d say most people already know for singing and they might not want an American to win. But Megan again could a shock exit as her style of singing is country and that’s not that popular in the UK. I kinda agree on the Islanders part too. Who knew Wes could also sing to add to his existing talents of swimming and ice skating :lol: he’s totally one of those who’s just naturally good at everything.
October 1, 20195 yr I do wonder if like on Strictly you'll get a backlash for the ones who are known to be good at singing, "he was already in Glee he's lying that he can't sing and perform!1!!1" "she released an album already she had her chance!11!1" :lol:

You always get one on Strictly who knows exactly what they’re doing yet in their VT and in their training videos they make out it’s so out of their comfort zone and appear like they’re struggling. If they act like that it could well go against them. I mean Kevin is literally like quite close to being a professional singer. This will be like a walk in the park for him. I’d say he’s definitely got the biggest advantage.
October 6, 20195 yr Considering the BGT ratings (shocked at how bad it’s done) I wouldn’t be surprised if this hit a low of around 2.5m - 3m
October 12, 20195 yr https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a2...-review-format/ Positive review from Digital Spy! Really intruiged for tonight's show - the social medias are flooded by the same 5 Max and Harvey fans spamming emojis 100s of times each.
October 12, 20195 yr I’m also sort of intrigued by this. I’ve seen more hype and positivity around this on social media than what I have for the regular series for ages. I think as a one off kind of thing it could really work
October 12, 20195 yr Looking forward to this later! I’m just surprised it’s taken them 13 years since Battle of the Stars to bring a Celebrity contest back.
October 12, 20195 yr I’m also sort of intrigued by this. I’ve seen more hype and positivity around this on social media than what I have for the regular series for ages. I think as a one off kind of thing it could really work Yep I am very intrigued too. The regular series had definitely become stale, so I’m happy to see something different.
October 12, 20195 yr If it’s just a one off or once in a while thing it’ll work but if they do a celeb one every year I think each one would be less popular. But yeah it’s good the usual X Factor is having a break maybe it’ll do it good for whenever it returns.
October 12, 20195 yr I'm actually much more excited for X Factor than I've been in a good few years with this! Idk if it will work in practice but it's nice to have a different iteration to be intrigued about, rather than knowing it's going to be the usual shit :lol:
October 12, 20195 yr This is going to be car crash TV viewing, just let Olivia win that would do nicely. I shall give it a few weeks, but I can see myself giving up half way through. I just prefer the original way.
October 12, 20195 yr I think this is all over the place; it should be done like a comedy. Rob Beckett commentary a la CGD ripping into everyone - there is no need for Dermot at all.... Why are they talking about sticking together post show, a gap in the market and all that crap. No one cares enough post show anymore. The show hasn't changed at all
