I am one of those weirdos who actually loves this. With the no hopers and wannabees on the early auditions being my favourites.
Yup, I know a lot of it is staged and organised to get viewing figures as well as to encourage dafties to spend loads of money voting (I wont do it)
I fall about laughing at them every Saturday.......
A few, not necessarily winners either, have done very well out of it and usually deservedly so.
I look forward to it, do you love it or hate it?
