I'm sad to admit that I too find them entertaining. They are the Chico of this series I think…Cld they write a song about Twin Time…Am I on to a winner there?? LOL You do need a bit of entertainment in these shows and Louis has been very clever putting them through. They won't win though. I can't pick my winner yet, I think it could be the Over 25s. And is it me or did Rachel seem like she had been pulled into a room and told to act more like Stacey does?? Great post!

We never miss X Factor in our house (principally because my nine year old has to be able to join in the water fountain moment at school on the following Monday. Simon has said he'll leave the country if J&E win. Maybe the British public are taking him up on the offer. (Sorry I commented twice on your last post – computer – and me – being slow so not sure if it had gone through).

I like watching them too – for me they were the highlight of Saturday's show apart from the delectable Michael Bublé, a definite Hot or Not candidate. Of course they can't sing, or dance even, really, but they are entertaining and I'll take them over Mariah Carey/Robbie Williams wannabes any day. I'm backing Danyl though – he's the only one whose voice actually moves me to tears (in a good way).

Great post. Totally agree with you about John and Edward unfortunately, whilst I think they’re totally talentless in regards to singing they do seem to be putting on a performance every week. Robbie Williams famously uses auto tune but we love him because he performs. Like you say, there’s always one act, which we love to hate, Darius, Chico, you name it, we’ve had them thrust upon us and we love it. Or we wouldn’t watch it next series.
I know what you mean about having a favorite too, for once I don’t have a real firm favorite. Although, I’d back Olly Murs, I’ve a weakness for anyone whose a little Robbie Esque so Olly ticks that box!!!

Love watching it too, like you there is no one in particular that I'm supporting, I think because there is just so much talent they all deserve to get somewhere…..that is except John and Edward. I think it is cruel as they seem to believe that they are good and I worry about how they'll cope ( they are very young) when it dawns on them that actually the nation are laughing at them. But then thats my sensitive self- always worrying about other people, especially as they're not much older than my eldest son. I was cringing when I saw them on Saturday, if you've ever seen spykids they look as though they should be in that film. ;0)
