I thought the title Sweary Bails Out was much more current and hip than Sweary Bows Out. This is the last week the two of us will be reviewing X Factor 2010 together, but hopefully I can convince her back for the final. Meanwhile, enjoy Sweary’s wonderful lookalike picture involved Michael Palin in the Life of Brian.
This week, Aiden left the show after Deadlock and the people’s votes saved Katie. Seriously there must have been three votes total for the pair of them. Aiden getting the person who mistakenly dialled his number rather than Matt’s. But what did we think of it? Read on…
Last night was probably the most controversial X Factor Results Show yet, with Cheryl Cole refusing to participate in the Judge’s vote section - thus resulting in the other three judges having final say, saving Katie and sending home TreyC.
Another week, another act nobody cared about gone. But that’s how all the early weeks go. It’ll start getting good in a few weeks once Wagner is gone, we promise (well, we hope anyway). That said, who the hell is voting for Wagner?
Sepp Blatter is the Simon Cowell of FIFA, the world soccer governing body. This week (and last), his organisation has been involved in a bribery and corruption scandal. Similarly, it’s scandalous how Katie Waissel keeps coming back on X Factor from week to week. Now how tentative was that title? Soon, I’m going to run out of things that sound like Blather…Anyway, on to the main event.
Heroes Week on X Factor this week. Whose heroes, I don’t know, but that was the theme. Like one of those costume parties with a theme, where there’s thirteen gangsters and then a priest. Sadly, Sunday night’s eviction show saw the pirate leaving the party, and their was also an exit for the only person to totally Adedeji their hair so far this season (yes, it’s now a verb).
Rather than have a big post-X Factor discussion like last year which we found entertaining, but no-one else did, this year both Sweary and myself (Ronan) are doing a joint post where we separately give our take on the previous weekend’s “entertainment”.
For those of you who missed the latest X Factor showdown (or for those of you who watched it but are far too dithery to form powerful opinions on it yourself) and could really, really do with something profound to spout at the water-cooler in the office when the leering eyes of your brighter colleagues are upon you … here’s the second installment of Ronan and Sweary’s intelligent, thoughtful and helpfully weekly X Factor debate. Will they come to blows over Stacey? Will Joe prompt in them night-terrors again this week? Is it a bit mean to bring up Cheryl’s conviction for assault after all these years? Why not read on and decide for yourself! The X Factor: Take That / Elton John Week! Sweary: I take it we agree it HAS to be Lloyd’s time … Ronan: It sure does. Simon opened the show saying everyone deserved to be … There’s more
What better way to watch a show as entertaining and giddy and gloriously pointless as The X Factor than with another Culchie just as hopelessly devoted as yourself? Sweary and Ronan thought so. Gasp at their thoughtful analysis! Admire their reasoned debate! Laugh at how hopelessly incorrect their predictions were! Yes, folks, it’s time! For Ronan and Sweary! To face! THE MUSIC! The X Factor: George Michael Week As the preamble begins, and the butter melts into the popcorn, our intrepid correspondents swap reflections on the story so far. Well, at least as much of it as they can fit into the time taken up by The X Factor’s mandatory recap of last week’s show. Sweary: First thing’s first. I love Stacey Ronan: What is it about her? Her voice? Sweary: I used to love her voice … she’s starting to bore me a bit now, but she seems like … There’s more
