Can't wait to see those OFCOM complaints flooding in! - The X Factor

GlueBubble · 08-11-2009, 20:55

Not only are they unpopular as they are in the Bottom 2 but they are kept in over one of the better vocalists, even though the Judges had a chance to out them.

This show is a complete and utter farce! Disgusting it's all for publicity now. The show is a disgrace. Simon wants power and popularity.

Ju411 · 08-11-2009, 20:57

agreed.. shambolic!

U96 · 08-11-2009, 20:57

I had to laugh.They are all second rate.
I'm watching purely for the comedy value.

Kingsy · 08-11-2009, 20:59

Complaints about what? More people voted for John & Edward than Lucie... why would that spur complaints? :S

ValLambert · 08-11-2009, 20:59

But it's the publics decision, what is there to complain to OFCOM about?

linkinpark875 · 08-11-2009, 20:59

They will lose alot of viewers this series. I wish they would axe this tripe I am sure half these 11 million viewers tune in for the novelty. I expect next year it will dip like Big Brother has done.

Axe the Xfactor I say.

Denise · 08-11-2009, 21:00

Complain to OFCOM because the person with the least votes left?

I don't think Lucie should have gone, thought she was one of the best, but hardly OFCOM complaint.

linkinpark875 · 08-11-2009, 21:02

The answer is tune out. Stop feeding the this crap and tune out. Let the viewing figures slump and let it be replaced with something decent.

ellenpagerocks · 08-11-2009, 21:02

The Twins will get a rebound vote next week and one of Simon's acts will go crashing out he won't be feeling to happy then

Neither ITV or Syco care WHY people tune in, just that they do and they get the ratings.

sHaK · 08-11-2009, 21:04

No one is going to complain to OFCOM as theres nothing to complain about. Stop overreacting and making this out to be some sort of national scandal like Jade v Shilpa

We don't know that. They got more votes but that doesn't mean more voters.

But I can't see where Ofcom would come into it.

Haha, MTE. The show is a shambles anyway, all the contestants are pathetic. Jedward to win!

And all of you complaining, you should have voted!

GlueBubble · 08-11-2009, 21:07

We're being duped into thinking it's a Judges Final Vote, not really just manipulation, twice now Simon has thrown it to the public 'for the fairness of it'. That's not what it's for Simon.

GlueBubble · 08-11-2009, 21:09

People will still complain to Ofcom regardless sof the logic behind it.. you'll see the complaints tally up over the week.

Jaymitch1 · 08-11-2009, 21:10

simon cowell is so smug!! im growing to hate the man week by week

I could not agree more, off com had better take their phones off! Its ridiculous this moaning. The public put them in the bottom two and gave them the least votes.
Its been the same in strictly.

Well that is the logic. You are in the Bottom 2 of the voting sorta suggests your least favoured really.

daryl_spicer · 08-11-2009, 21:18

What i firmly believe is that ITV/Company employed to count votes conviently lost some.
It has been always fixed imo to suit what is conceived as to maintain good viewing figures.

Cowell got what he wanted tonight,his 3 boys through (all moderate at best), plus an act he sees as no threat.

Saying this i would never get involved in any phone-in show, i have seen/heard/ read
to much negative reviews about them.

We can all phone X Factor to vote ,chances are your VOTE DOES NOT COUNT.

It is worse

RuebenClara · 08-11-2009, 21:31

I should put a bet on that by tomorrow there will be reports of voting irregularities. Lucy's number was constantly engaged or was the number for the local Pizza Hut. People didn't vote for her pure and simple. There is nothing to complain about.

I agree.
I'd prefer it to be about the singing - which would, in my opinion, get more publicity in the long run.

Sick of it now, to be honest.

IsThisNameFree9 · 08-11-2009, 21:45

There is nothing to complain about to Ofcom. All you can do it stop watching and voting if you don't like the show. Personally, I love the show. But Cowell was a bit of an oaf tonight. All a bit too transparent. He reckoned on ITV2 that he didn't know Luice was bottom of the public vote. Now that I don't believe for a second.

si29uk · 08-11-2009, 21:46

It is clearly the night for being as insulting and stupid as possible

This is not a matter for OFCOM - unless you can prove that the vote was rigged and than an independent company was bribed/forced to alter the result in order to get rid of a certain act.

This forum has entered some bizarre twilight zone
