It's on next week, they took a week off.

Aaaaw. I was really looking forward to it!  :\\\'(

I think this week's episode has been pre-empted for the Rugby World Cup England v. France match. I'm assuming that's why they aired 2 shows in one night a couple of weeks ago and they did say at the end of last week's episodes that the live finals will begin on October 20th, not the 13th.

Anyone watch it last night?

I did! I did!

What did you think?

Dh & I watched it I wasn't happy that Kimberly was the first one to go I really liked her. I like Liam but thought he didn't as good as job as her.      I knew she wasn't going to win but I wanted to see her in a few more shows before she left. I really enjoyed Nikki, Beverly, Same Difference, Andy, Daniel, even though I don't really care for Rhydian I thought he did a good job last night.   

Ridian is going to drive the competition.  He'll make it interesting - but my God is he intolerable.

Absolutely.

I'm not sure of most of their names yet, but some of them were pretty horrendous this week. Honestly, any one of about 5 or 6 of them really deserved to get the boot. Of the bottom two, I thought Kimberly was the better one, but that's not saying much.

OK. I really, really like Brian Friedman, but it's almost as if they're trying to find him a job. Do so many of these songs need to be turned into cheesy dance numbers? It's tough enough for them to sing in front of a big audience for the first time without having to do it while jumping about as well. A lot of them seemed to have problems with their breathing, an understandably so.

Yeah, my husband said that Brian is making the performances worse. I agree that it is better to start them off with a more simple routine. I think that bad song choices/dance routines caused Kimberly and Aleisha to be in the bottom two. Niki was definitely my favourite; she seemed very sincere. I hope that Beverly gets a better song next week because I quite like her!

I wasn't a big fan of Kimberley - I actually wasn't really bothered about which one of them got the boot. The other girl I suppose has sort of a Mary J Blige thing going on. Not my thing, but I can see where she might get better....

Ridian is... growing on me in a very weird way. I never thought I would say that. He reminds me of Nigel Kennedy in a way - classical but with an edge.

Same Difference SCARE ME. Honestly they properly freak me out.

Seriously. They're so scary I can't actually believe they're real. They're like something out of a Christopher Guest movie.

Add me to that list as well.  Rhydian still annoys the hell out of me.  He does have a fantastic voice, but the wole rest of the package just leaves be sitting there thinking WTF?  And whoever did his hair should be fired IMO.

I adored Nikki's performance.  I really hope she makes it far. I like Beverly as well.  I thought Kimberly did pretty well, but wasn't surprised she was in the bottom two though.

Maybe I'm way off, but I almost got a sense that Mrs O was a wee bit drunk or something.  Some of her comments seemed a bit out there, and then there was the whole thing at the end about leaving the show.  Although, knowing the X Factor, perhaps it was all contrived for ratings like Louis quitting the show for a whole week a year or two back when the Conway Sisters were on lol.

LMFAO!!!

I've not watched any of it but now I'm feeling like I have to watch just to see the scary people.
