Apart from spending the whole of Saturday night's show worrying that Cheryl was going to collapse from malaria at any moment I thoroughly being back in the bosom of my Saturday night #guiltypleasure viewing.
Guest host Geri Halliwell was a stroke of genius with her 'I don't know if she knows it but I picked Cheryl" aka "I made you famous, beatch, you owe me everything" and incessant wittering.
She's a pint sized bomb of female feistiness and as much as I'd love to hate her as I do for the same fame-woe-is-me annoyance as Robbie Williams I just can't.
G & S (Gay and Straight, which ended up just, well, straight) had my other half with his head actually in his hands complaining "I actually can't watch" as I cried with delight. Sob-story-turned-success-story x 1000 later I'd just about quenched my X Factor thirst.
But now we have Xtra. Xtra Blue Peter that it. Konnie, let's be honest, was a bit lacklustre and the reviews since have been less than polite. She looked a little bewildered didn't she? I was surprised she didn't faint during a cringe-inducing interview with her highness Cheryl of Cole. Or is it Tweedy now? Hard to keep up.
Anyway - who's got time to watch Xtra Factor these days while Big Brother's still on?

Big Brother??? What??
I think it's why BB is going - it's an old concept! X-Factor rules the tv ratings.
At times is can be a bit tired as well.
I'm fed up of seeing acts now going on - one can sing, one can't - and then the one who can't sing having the 'heart-breaking' decision of "do i let them go back on by themselves!
A-la G & S.
My big question is why pick Pixxee Lott as a guest judge??
It is indeed the same old formula, Stuart - unlikely overweight woman with bad teeth sings like an knightingale... Over-confident cocky lad gets turned down for squawing like an eagle.
Not sure about the Pixie decision, either, but can't judge her before we've seen her.
Most concering news today is surely this... http://www.list.co.uk/article/28806-x-fake-tor/ if it's true, why would we ever bother watching in the first place?!?!??!!?
Loving that little find Jo!
It could be spin from the Sky camp.
On Saturday morning they had the Sky TV expert on talking about the show.
The news reader said - "Do you think Sky One's new show All About The Music has raised the bar for these contests?"
At the end of the day it's Saturday night TV. It's meant to be entertaining! Warts and all.
So I'm not a fan of them using Auto Tune.
Plus were you calling me an unlikely overweight woman with bad teeth in your reply? ;-p
