The X Factor proved that a LOT can happen in one night on this show. Technical difficulties pushed the live show back roughly fifteen minutes, the contestants sang ludicrously slowed-down versions of Queen and Lady Gaga hits, and before Amelia Lily had been voted back into the competition, there was already a fix scandal surrounding her. Phew!
Well, dear readers, we’ve heard 11 acts on tonight’s X Factor sing a variety of rock (and non-rock) songs in a decidedly dodgy manner. You’ve vented your fury on social media sites, and (hopefully) you’ve read our views on the X Factor Rock Week chart.
Our own chart suggests that Sami Brookes, The Risk or Frankie Cocozza might have outstayed their welcome. Did Frankie’s partyboy video clip turn you off him? Or maybe Tulisa’s rant against Misha Bryan will cost Queen B significant votes?
Irish music manager Louis Walsh is the least popular X Factor judge, according to Unreality TV’s poll.
An amazing 9,000 of you voted, but Louis only received a paltry 575 votes, which is a pathetic 6% of the vote. But since X Factor only cares about public opinion when there’s a phone vote behind it, Louis will probably return for the 2010 series.
In just the last series, the unpopular judge chose Irish act Jedward despite any obvious talent, gave a two-fingered salute to the studio audience and told a phone in viewer on the Xtra Factor “that’s why I’m a judge on this show and you’re sitting at home watching”. He also snapped a similar comment at presenter Dermot O’Leary during a live show. (Poll results at the end of this post)

Seems like Cheryl’s popularity is taking a bash this year, while people have been much kinder to Dannii Minogue. At the same time, Simon’s been harshly criticised for dumping Lucie last week while Louis got a little bit of sympathy for his behaviour during Stephen Gately’s funeral.
Evening all!
Anyone who’s into reality TV loves a good public vote, don’t they?
Well, we’ve brought back the Unreality TV poll in the sidebar, so you can have your say! In our first poll, we’re asking what you think is the best reality TV show on telly at the moment – X Factor, I’m A Celebrity, Strictly Come Dancing or new kid on the block, Channel 4′s Unanimous?
You can also vote on this poll right here:
So you like Big Brother?
Well, look to the right of the page – our latest poll is asking you who you think is the best-ever Big Brother housemate. We’ve started you off with a couple of the most prominent housemates, but you can add others if you like.
Happy voting!
Well, your votes have been counted and verified…. Celebrity X Factor is the show most of you will be watching this summer, beating Big Brother 2006 by a skin-of-the-teeth 10 votes!
Celebrity Love Island is the least popular reality TV show, with only 8% of the votes. But don’t rule it out completely – it was slated last year, but loads of people ultimately got hooked on it – I know we did! I’m just hoping they’ll keep the babe quota high…well, higher than last year!
Last year’s Big Brother was a bit of a disappointment – at the time I called it a “waiting room for fame”, and I still stand by that! What I want to see this year are less of the self-obsessed assholes
and more interesting human beings. No more dull idiots staring into space and disgusting exhibitionists pulling stunts. Give us interesting characters this year Endemol!
For my money, Celebrity X Factor will be the big show this time around. Cowell, Osbourne and lil’ Louis are an explosive mix. Sure, most of it’s as staged as a wrestling match, but that’s half the fun. Ewwww – mental picture of Louis Walsh diving off the top rope onto Simon Cowell while Sharon Osbourne stands in the wings with her trademark jug of water….
