pap Posted 8 October, 2012 Share Posted 8 October, 2012 Stage managed Yes. There is zero point in getting wound up at any of the behaviour on the X-Factor. Be annoyed that it exists, that so many people love it and that the saccharine sh!te peddled within ends up in the charts. And then weep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 8 October, 2012 Share Posted 8 October, 2012 For once, I am in the know about something. I don't watch it but know people connected to the programme and can tell you that X-factor is 90% fixed, right from the first auditions to the final. The fact the the good people in the first auditioned have stylists is a bit of a give away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 8 October, 2012 Share Posted 8 October, 2012 Stage managedOf course, but didn't Walsh mess up his lines badly? He reasons that the competition is all about singing and then can't decide to throw out the dancer. It is naturally all about viewing figures and it is helpful that there is a hate figure among the contestants who will generate column inches and controversy in the media. And I suspect that Gary Barlow's walk out in protest was also stage managed, just as there is always a cliff-hanger event at the end of the daily soap.

Thedelldays Posted 8 October, 2012 Share Posted 8 October, 2012 Before the end last night... The camera shot was from high up and you could see all the judges on the bottom left of the screen Walsh was in convo with a bloke with a headset on who was sat down.... Apparently, Walsh was given the heads up that if it went to deadlock that they Gay creature would go through... And going through would create lots of talking points on other shows and get into the papers more as he really can't sing.... Seeing as xfactor is losing again in the viewing figures race with bbc It's all a fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 8 October, 2012 Share Posted 8 October, 2012 Well I know there is a lot of rumours that it it fixed. I don't watch it so can't really say myself. However was out with a mate on Friday who said that it was fixed and this was a fact. He then said how he knew. My Mrs was interested, so thought some of you fannies might also be interested. However, I guess it is more common knowledge than I knew. Why the fuk do you still watch it then? More to the point, why do people call in?

The clothes for the final stages are ordered before the first TV auditions. I know they can cancel them but shows they have a very strong idea of who is going to progress to which point in the contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGun Posted 8 October, 2012 Share Posted 8 October, 2012 (edited) At least 80% of the people mentioned on here. And I have never watched X-Factor ever.

scotty Posted 8 October, 2012 Share Posted 8 October, 2012 I've never watched a full episode of this nonsense, but the mrs is addicted to it. I reckon thats grounds for divorce, myself. As for it being rigged, well of course it is. They even use autotuners for the preferred "performers", and leave the rest of the talentless dross to fend for themselves. If you can bear to listen carefully you can hear which ones are autotuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 8 October, 2012 Share Posted 8 October, 2012 As a format, the X-Factor is pretty clever. Let the public think they're getting a say, but ultimately let the judges direct the show. It is so f*cking painfully transparent though. I'm not allowed to watch it anymore due to several "deconstruction commentaries" I've made in the past. "Yeah, the background slow song that builds up to a rising crescendo. This loser will cry a little bit but get his fourth yes when the 'inspirational' part of the song kicks in". 100% accurate, yey 100% kicked out of the living room by my youngest daughter whenever I'm good enough to offer this essential service.

Where's the justice? Amazingly I have encountered this exact scenario and am also not allowed to watch it. My other pet hate about it is how they think that wailing loudly equals good singing. Having a powerful voice does not necessarily mean being a good singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 8 October, 2012 Share Posted 8 October, 2012 I do get annoyed by the BBC lezzer "comedienne" mafia, Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Rhona Cameron and of course Sandy Toksvig. Who told these people they were funny? and what did they have against the rest of us? Toksvig is tolerable on the Newsquiz but the rest are just dreadful, and presumably only there to tick a few boxes (fnarr fnarr) and fill the quotas (etc).

There, you've reminded me, of course they were in the swamp of incest that is the cambridge footlights as well. I'd forgotten that. They only wrote a couple of full shows, but they did slots on French & Saunders, among others. Mainly I remember them from R4, any comedy panel game would get one of them.
