Insight and ramblings from the minds of the twisted folk at Moopy

CLASSIC BRITISH TV


Where to start on tonight's X Factor result? Let's get the minor details out of the way first: Leona had a noticeably loud backing track, but Moopy doesn't think she was miming (a question ironically posed by a Britney fan, much to the chagrin of some); it's not Dermot's place to openly disagree with the judges comments - but he SHITS ALL OVER that BORING STAGNANT BITCH Thornton; Danyl Johnson is STILL in the competition and we've only reached 67 reasons for hating him.

But the real reason we're here is because Lucie Jones lost out to John & Edward in the most shocking result of the series. Oh, and to commend Louis Walsh giving a two fingered salute to the X Factor audience, presumably in response to their booing of his act. Moopy has, as always, been discussing why the nation has gone into meltdown over tonight's show (we've long since accepted that people really don't care much about actual important issues).

Simon Cowell's power-mad decision to once again take the show to "Deadlock" delighted some Moopists, whilst others were disillusioned with the route the show has now taken, with Cowell seemingly intent on having his acts face off in the final two. Undoubtedly, after critcising John & Edward for so many weeks, he would have been furious had one of his acts lost out to them. Others were unsurprised, having already branded this year a complete and utter car crash and the X Factor as an entertainment, rather than music show.

The other question raised is whether Dannii will return to the show next year following the result. It would seem that having been totally sidelined, Simon Cowell has taken every opportunity since to kick her in the metaphorical balls. Yet she seems to have public support and the show in this format is now picking up its highest ever ratings, surely reasons to maintain stability. The current poll results suggest this may just be an unfounded knee-jerk reaction. In any case, we'd rather see her replaced with a mound of excrement before they brought Sharon back (as has been suggested tonight).

Yet amongst frenzied Facebook/forum/tabloid claims of boycotting next week, chances are that the viewing figures will be boosted further than before. Which is why Cowell's decision makes sense and probably explains his motivation behind the conspiracy theories.

Do join us to share your thoughts on what is sure to be a massive talking point over the week.
