Goggleboxing? Anyone who trusted them last year with Sam Bailey could have been in trouble this year, if they`d shown us more of XF over the last month or two. Every front room wanting Andrea, thinking he was `best`. Also, interesting to see the levels of seriousness some of them showed re Andrea. Far stronger feelings aroused than I would have expected, given his two B2 appearances. Pretty much blanket indifference to Fleur and Ben. My book would certainly have been worse if we`d been shown such pro-Andrea sentiment.

Shows how clueless they are

By:
They only showed 3 of the families watching. Probably edited out those who didn't follow the Andrea storyline

The Michaels gone already, and very funny watching all the men`s reactions to Nigella`s, somehow pornographic, cooking show.

I'm on +1, so yet to see that. The simpering tart doesn't do anything for me

Not old enough?

Once we knew Cowell wasn't going to back Andrea, it was game over for him there and then. SamBa was the exception as 9 times out of 10, acts like her are nobbled. It gave us a false impression that Gogglebox was a great form guide.

Spot on, Cider.

Cider, I`m not sure you realise what an honour that is from Tim. I think I can say, without fear of contradiction, that that`s the nicest thing he has ever said to anyone on here. Tear to the eye stuff...

I'm not convinced he was ever as popular as the market assumed. It took them til the quarter final to knock Baloney of the top spot

Andrea was all but finished off by week 2

They painted him gold and put horns on him
Poor Andy  |

19% of the first vote out of 16 is fair going

That`s a direct quote, isn`t it bear? Smug bugger!

Only 14% and 2% ahead of Lauren in week 2. So 100/1 to win by then if we'd had the percentages

It might be Timmy

It would be great one year if they did release the %'s every week. They did a couple of times on the US XF.
I'd have been very confident that they'd get Fleur over the line up until week 8 and made her fav |

By:
You liked it, fll? I seem to remember hating it. There wasn`t that much liquidity on it, only us lot playing against each other, and the reveals took all of the inspired insight/guess work out of it.

By:
After week 5 Sk would have been favourites
|
|
By:
I only had a few small bets on it tim. As you say no liquidity. My favourite memory was Brushy's Intensity Express crashing out the 1st week
 I do think it would be fascinating if they released the percentages every week though. I still reckon there would be plenty of value about and disagreement as to who was going to win |
|
By:
There would certainly have been plenty of support for them at that stage bear
|
|
By:
With the %'s you would get more casuals taking an interest imo
|
|
By:
ofc this year it was very close until the last couple of weeks. In previous years acts like Cardie would have been odds on very quickly and just continued to shorten throughout
|
|
By:
On the other hand Burka would have been a much bigger price in the early weeks

Just catching up with Gogglebox. Andrea 1.8 in running. Turns out Goggleboxers goggle but don't vote.

Jeez how awful ...... Never a good time for something like this,but to lose her just before Christmas just adds to the pain
 I remember on at least one occasion that Parissa was absent from the Sunday night Xtra Factor show....iirc no precise reason was ever given.Little doubt in hindsight she was rushing off to spend time with her Mum. Great credit to the kid for getting through the series with this forever in the background.Perhaps if she was a solo act she would have pulled out,but possibly felt an obligation to her band mates to continue.Also huge kudos for keeping it under wraps,and not using it to garner sympathy......an intensely private matter and kept as such. Seems like in the last few years her Mum was a driving force behind the band,allowing them all to live at her house whilst they attempted to make it......lovely that she saw her daughter have some degree of success before she shuffled off this mortal coil. For one last time........"ONLY THE YOUNG" ....and Merry Christmas to everyone on the forum.A timely reminder to us all that there is a life away from our little Utopia on here  those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” | Friedrich Nietzsche |
