    I can't believe people were/are still watching this drivel! The contestants have been utterly cr*p this year, so I stopped watching weeks ago!

    Anyone who is voting should be ashamed of themselves, giving all that money to a man who is already rich enough.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Unlike making snarky comments on website forums, of course.

    I can't believe people actually finance these programmes by spending THEIR money on a telephone call to vote.If TV companies want our opinions THEY should pay for the calls.
    'Millionaire' is a different matter...at least the cost of the call not only finances the programme...but you have a chance to get on it and win money.

    thanks for all your comments! I really dont care who wins tonight anyway - the best ones went weeks ago! but i was hoping for some entertainment - not watching some silly bint get pushed around in a crowd all screaming out for the local one. oh - and i am getting really fed up of them (the judges) always using michael jackson or george michael songs! at this rate i doubt if i will watch next year.

    who on earth thought that putting people in the contestants home town amid crowds - who obviously arent watching on tv.

    They are actually watching it though. I work at one of the venues it is being held at for one of the contestants, and know of people that went. We were all offered tickets, but genuine fans only! They watch it live on TV.

    I think it's annoying and irrelevant, but they are watching it on TV.

    Personally, I liked seeing my hometown making a fool of themselves of national TV. :)
