I have heard many people complimenting the dress that outgoing singer, Rachel Adedeji wore on The X Factor this weekend but I just didn’t like it.
The stylists didn’t go all out and break the bank to dress Rach, her multi coloured mini dress cost only £30 from Lipsy. I know that Rachel suffered from an image crisis during her first few week’s on the show but at least she looked like an individual. Last night she looked wholly uncomfortable and a bit garish for my taste.

Gather round the googlebox tonight everybody, somebody’s going home and it might be Danyl “The Most Hated Man In Britain” Johnson. We don’t hate Danyl, by the way, and all this bad press has really gone a bit wrong for him, hasn’t it? Speaking for us at Unreality TV, we think Lightweight Lloyd has to go home tonight.
Right, let’s do the liveblog thing!
We start off with the ensemble performance of Aerosmith’s Walk This Way. Except, because this is X Factor, it’s actually the Girls Aloud/Sugababes version of the song which is nowhere near as cool as the original. Bah! Everybody seems to be on form tonight, even Devastated Danyl, and as schmaltzy as the whole thing is, it’s great fun. We love these ensemble performances, just to see the contestants performing together and having a bit of a lark.
And we get the obligatory recap of last night’s performances. Which would be a good time to remind you about our liveblog post and our chart rating the best and worst of last night. Then it’s time for…
