I'd like to see the list of contestants first.

Would it be 'censored' for TV or not ?

I'd probably record / torrent it and watch some bits of it and jump past other bits.

That's a really rubbish blog post by Stu (and, in fairness, a poor one from Brooker too).

You should all be ashamed of yourselves!

Curio, you watch the X Factor. And tweet about it!....As if Strictly Cum Fucking would be any more immoral and shameful than that.

Also: As if knowing who the contestants were would make a difference! If they're fit, sweet! If they're mingers, even better, it'll be worth watching for gruesome factor!

It'd be awesome!

Also also: Happy B'day Grim...aldi. Your prezzies sound ace :)

Not sure if it's just me not having been able to drink for 3 weeks, but X Factor hasn't seemed as good this year. I really like Gary Barlow, and find Louis funny in that he doesn't even take it vaguely seriously and is intentionally just spouting cliches, but I found very, very few of the contestants this year to be even vaguely likeable.

There's Big Craig in the boys category, the two Essex girls in the groups, Amelia in the girls and Frank Spencer in the old types. The rest are mostly annoying, especially Kitty and Frankie, both of whom I would happily punt in the face.

Frankie and Kitty are both hateful people.

I would have liked Jade and Terry to go through though...

Flis? Are you the only woman in the country not to have a crush on Gary Barlow?

Maybe being on a silly little island makes you immune to his charms...

Trooper- I guarantee Terry will be on TV Burp next week, unless the BIG TWIST is the same as, or similar to, last year. Which wouldn't surprise me, to be honest, as they really built up Jade, John and Terry... maybe they have a SURPRISE FIFTH JUDGE with the 'cast-offs' category.

I reckon the BIG TWIST will be that they have to swap categories, or will each get a contestant from each category.

Talking about x-factor judges, Tulisa would totally get it too.

Mrs T has the same dress Tulisa was wearing last night, which didn't sell on ebay a week ago when she put it up.
Now I say she should put it up again with "AS SEEN ON TV" etc... and sell it for loads. She now wants to keep it because it was on tv :facepalm:

Evidently from the same school of nominative determinism as Robin Mahfood, I was happy to see today that the Head of Policy at Stonewall is called Sam Dick.

From the story on passports being altered to allow an option to have 'parent one' and 'parent two' instead of 'mother' and 'father' for same sex couples. That's (IMO) a good, eminently sensible idea, which is of course being opposed by some silly 'family values' group.

I always thought it would be easier if there were 4 parents in a family, then at any one point, 3 of them could be working, 1 looking after the kids, and you could probably arrange that to be done in shifts too, having 4 incomes...

A lot more money coming in, you could afford the bigger home to house everyone, and have more money left over too...
