Chico Slimani was tonight voted off the X factor, many would say its weeks too late!

I am a bit of a Chico fan, but even I have to admit that it was his time to go. If anyone else had left while Chico remained it would have made a farce of the whole show.

I believe that Chico may be one of the few reality TV contestants that can salvage an actual career after the initial hype of the X Factor dies down. I don’t predict him as a great musician or singer, but he is certainly comfortable enough in front of the camera for presenting or acting.

Tonight Chico seemed glad to have gotten so far, and took the decision well and with dignity. Its not all the X Factor contestants who have handled it so well!
