The X Factor - The Final Part 1



So it's the beginning of the end of this seires of X Factor

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Seven

It was Beatles week on The X Factor and yet again it was a boring show except the fight between Cheryl and Simon over "stair-gate" as Dermot O'Leary embarrassingly called it and Cheryl and Wagner over Wagner's comments about her being "just a lucky girl from a council estate". Draaamaaa!

Anyway let's have a deeks at the performances:

Best:

Matt Cardle. Every song he sings, he makes beautiful. I don't know how he does it. I want him to win. 

Hello Mary! It's been a while since you were here but your back! And you were brilliant. Keep it up!

Worst:

Oh my god. Get off you big creep. That is all I have to say on the matter.

So what did you think of The X Factor? I think were at the stage, who do you want win?

Make sure you watch the results show tonight and check back here for my thoughts afterwards! 

The X Factor - Was It A Fix?

Nearly 15 million of us watched it and we all know what happened. Well, incase you don't, here's the crack-a-lack.

• Katie and Treyc were in the bottom two.
• Katie sang first, forgot her words, generally did bad and ended up saying "sod it" and sat on the floor until the music ended.
• Treyc sang and was alright. 
• Simon voted to save Katie.
• Cheryl refused to vote since they were both her acts.
• Dannii voted to save Treyc.
• Louis voted to save Katie.
• Treyc was voted out of the competition. 

Obviously there's been plenty of backlash and controversy. What is The X Factor without it right?

So I have a few questions!

• Why did Simon vote for Katie? She clearly messed up the song and the judges are supposed to vote on that performance they've just seen, not anything else.
• Why did Dermot O'Leary go to Cheryl straight after Simon? Whenever this has happened in the past and it has happened, they always went to the judge who has both acts in the bottom last! So why did they go to Cheryl straight after Simon? Why change the rules?
• Cheryl refused to vote. Fair enough. I don't think I could do it either! BUT She did say leave me to the end and I'll take it to deadlock, which means it reverts back to public vote. Why didn't they do that? Why didn't they go back to Cheryl and take it deadlock, which she said she would?
• Why did Louis vote for Katie? Same as Simon, she clearly messed up. Treyc sang better than her, surely he should have saved her? 

I didn't like Treyc. I don't think many people did because she never connected with the audience. She's one of those acts when she's there but you don't remember her. Even when she was on stage, I asked "Who's that?" I feel it was unfair she was voted out under such bad circumstances but to be honest, I would rather have seen her go, over Katie. Katie has personality! She gives good performances too (sometimes) and she's memorable!

I want to know what you think about all this? Was it a fix to keep Katie in who gets more headlines than an other contestant? Or was it innocent? Should Cheryl have voted? Should they have gone to deadlock? Should Simon and Louis have voted for Katie?

NTA Nominations

The first round of nominees for the National Television Awards were announced today. 

It's an extremely long list so I've decided to link you to it instead of typing it all out. You'll see what I mean when you press here.


Before I give you the link to vote, I ask you this. In the category, Best Serial Drama Performance, please vote for Danny Miller, who plays Aaron Dingle in Emmerdale. He is a brilliant actor and I feel he was robbed at the British Soap Awards earlier this year. So if you love this blog and you can vote, then please vote for him, and use the rest of your votes freely. Here's where you can vote.


A shortlist of nominee's voted by you will be announced in January and then voting re-opens. The event will be held at the 02 Arena, London on the 26th January 2011 (the day before my birthday) and will be hosted by Dermot O'Leary. 

Ultimate Big Brother - Big Brother's Last Ever Show Ever - Part 2

So Dermot O'Leary is back to Big Brother. 


After presenting Big Brother's Little Brother for 7 years, he left the show, but now he's back hosting a special show celebrating 10 years of Big Brother with Craig Phillips (BB1), Narinder Kaur (BB2), Alex Silbey (BB3), Cameron Stout (BB4), Marco Sabba (BB5), Anthony Hutton (BB6), Pete Bennett (BB7), Brian Belo (BB8), Rex Newmark (BB9), Bea Hamill (BB10) and Ben Duncan (BB11).


They've talked about each of their years and what it means to them to be part of the biggest reality show ever. It's been nice seeing some classic moments of Big Brother. It was great to see Dermot back on BB as I dislike him on X Factor. Cheers Big Brother! 


Stay tuned for more Big Brother Coverage.

Ultimate Big Brother - Big Brother's Last Ever Show Ever - Part 1

So after shedding a few tears at the end of Big Brother's Little Brother, the main show has started! Davina is there, the crowd is there, the ex-Ultimate housemates are there so let's get started!


Highlights from yesterday, the last full day of Big Brother. Marcus Bentley entered the house for Big Brother's Big Funeral. It was unbelievably sad. More tears!! The highlights weren't long. Short and sweet. We also got to see the production of the eviction shows which was really good.


So in 7th place!

Ulrika! I loved Ulrika. I'm a bit gutted she didn't get further but I'm glad she took part and made it this far. She's had her ups and downs like everyone else but always came out with a smile on her face! Just what we like. 


Moving on to 6th place!

Preston! I believe he was only there because Chantelle was to be honest. He wasn't a memorable housemate. Nice enough but not memorable and certainly not the Ultimate housemate! Glad he's out! Although I kind of would like to see him get back with Chantelle and make it work! That would be nice. 


5th place is...

Nasty Nick Bateman! He's really surprised me this series. He's not nasty at all and his relationship with Victor was just sheer genius! I'm glad he went in and I'm glad he walked out through the front door for the first time ever!! Good on him. 


So 4th place is...

Victor! I called it. I didn't like him the first time round but I did this time. He was hilarious. Didn't deserve to win at all but I'm glad he went in. I didn't even think of him when I first heard of this so good on him for getting this far. 


To end the show, a fitting tribute to Jade Goody, perhaps the most well known housemate in Big Brother History, was played. It showed the highs and the terrible lows of her life. Whatever your opinion on Jade, she was an amazing housemate and what she did for her 2 boys before she died was great. Making sure they were finically secure. R.I.P Jade Goody, the Ultimate Big Brother Housemate. 


So that's our first show wrapped up! Next is Dermot's Last Supper. Stay tuned throughout the night!
