I don't know that one but I'm hooked on a series called 'Under the Dome'...A Stephen King adapation. Love it!

i listened to under the dome on audiobook, awesome book

Nice one! I haven't read the book but if it's as good and mysterious as the TV adaption then I might be hitting Amazon later!

(Just don't tell me what happens in the end though! lol)

......Back to The X Factor didn't envy the judges, difficult decisions .....yes I know it's staged !!!

Isn't it?

Any way as it's the Low Carb Diabetic Forum ..... I enjoyed a few macadaemia (have I spelt that right) nuts whilst viewing

Did anyone else watch or record this?

All the best Jan

Loving X Factor but the Scary Spice gets on my wick ! Something about her really ! There is some decent talent this year. I quite like that Italian guy ( who wore the I Love Pugs Jumper ). The American guy who never made it through works at a USAFE base I work at !
Funny how Simon calls Louis "Lulu" now !

The X Factor ... apparently the 'Italian Guy' is doing well .....not sure of his name Andreas I think ?

Anyone watching later?

All the best Jan

Yep, Italian guy is very good, Andreas Faustini. There is a young girl called Lauren Platt who is also very good. That is my prediction for the final.

It's Sunday - and it's finals night.

The winner is Ben  

..... and guess what ?
.......... more next year ....am I smiling or groaning ?

Simon Cowell is laughing all the way to the bank.

All the best Jan

I'm glad Ben won although I can't see him as a big star. He'll make a few quid for sure but he's no Olly Murs ! We'll see !

Proper happy it's over..... For now "gulp"

Fast forward to August 2015 >.>.>.>.>

Just had to resurrect this post, just in case anyone may wish to comment on last night's (or tonight's) X Factor.  

I only watched a little, but I thought 4th Power were good, and apparently there are some good acts on tonight

All the best Jan

I don't think I'll be watching any of it this year. I've grown bored with it all now.

Well Simon Cowell already has the PR companies working overtime !!!

His, 'Britains Got Talent' is currently airing on ITV and already the papers / media / and this blog are talking about the new series of the X Factor ... oh well, it keeps some happy

‘X Factor’: ‘Nicole Scherzinger Set To Return Alongside Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh And Simon Cowell’ On All-New Panel
Out with the new, and in with the old.

Nicole Scherzinger is set to return to the ‘X Factor’ panel, according to reports.

The former Pussycat Doll singer will reportedly be joined by Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, who are also set to return.

Making up the final four will be show boss, Simon Cowell, who is the only judge not being replaced this year

Nicole, who was last sat on the judging panel alongside Tulisa Contostavlos, Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh back in 2013, originally left the show to focus on her music career.

But after her last album bombed, Nicole is looking to re-establish herself on the show after Rita Ora made the decision not to return.

A source told the MailOnline: “Rita had been in discussions [to return] but it became apparent she was no longer the automatic top option.

“Nicole Scherzinger was a huge success whens she was on the X Factor a few years ago and has long been part of the X Factor family. She provided fun and entertainment and a huge personality to the show. She is the definite favourite to get the seat next to Simon.”

Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw was the first to quit the judging panel after just one year, with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini later confirming she wouldn’t be returning as she wanted to focus on her music career.

In the biggest shake-up of the show in years, new presenters Olly Murs and Caroline Flack have also been ditched after just one year to be replaced by longstanding original host Dermot O’Leary.

The big question is, will any of the changes have any effect on the show’s dwindling viewing figures? We’ll have to wait until September to find out when the 13th series kicks off.
