Let’s keep this snappy:
- KANDY RAIN IN ELIMINATION SHOCKER. (Not even slightly.) Although Rachel in the Bottom 2 was something of a surprise.
- Scheduling faux-pas for next week’s show… what kind of manager books in a Cheryl Cole X Factor appearance on the same week as Whitney Houston?! Cheryl’s singing is naff when compared to the rest of Girls Aloud, let alone Whitney sodding Houston.
- Where were the pyrotechnics in Alexandra Burke’s performance? There were NONE! Nice use of every dancer in the world however.
- Not even any pyrotechnics in the Robbie Williams performance either. What’s happened to ‘The X Factor’ these days?!
Finally, nobody deserves to win at all on the strength of this disaster:
Has anyone been keeping track of ‘Strictly…’? Oops.
