SOVIETSONG'S SUPER FUN X-FACTOR EVICTION GAME PART DEUX, THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL

For those of you new to blonde I will give you a brief overview for old hats and heroes of this thread last year you will know the score. 

Each week you name 2 people from x-factor that you predict will leave the show, some weeks we mix things up but for the most part this is the game.  If your selection is in the bottom 2-3 or whatever you get a point if they go you get some more points.  We change the rules as and when to keep everything super fun but one change this year is games masters (sovietsong) decision is no longer final... WE'VE GOT JUDGES THIS YEAR!

The judges are responsible for disputes as well as giving out bonus points when the games master (sovietsong) puts forward nominees... we've got three judges so will always have an outcome, its like I planned it!

One rule that remains is you need to give a reason why you have made your selection and you need to highlight your pick.  Highlight it as you wish but simple "bold" is not enough.

Fail to do this and you will be up infront of the judges.

Last year I offered a $20 prize, this year I've decided to up the ante... for the winner this year a SKY UMBRELLA* is up for grabs, thats right... an umbrella, bear in mind the weather we are having this could be the ideal christmas gift for a loved one or you can have it all for yourself!!  No fee to enter!!  NO FEE AND A GREAT PRIZE.

Judges have been selected and I will be honest we've got some of the best around.  They each have an opinion and won't be scared to share it!

GAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*umbrella was donated to me by chrisbruce a legend of blonde and is in tightends car (I hope)... winner will have to arrange collection.


Picks must be made on the correct thread every week BEFORE the scheduled start of the results show

Once picks have been posted on the thread they MAY NOT be changed, other than in exceptional circumstances (eg contestant withdraws from the show between the pick being made and the live show)

there will be bonus points but no need to tell you about them yet, all in good time my friends

let the super fun begin

THIS WEEKS BONUS POINT IS TO BE ANNOUNCED LATER ON THE THREAD...

Can a mod lock the other thread and put this in it's place at the top pls

X

Kelly spanks style battle....

Thats all for now..

xx

Just me then... niceeeeee

thoughts so far..

week 5

Louis

Johnny - really weaky Kylie.. GTFO, picked up 2nd half but still, orly?
Kitty - not surprised at song choice tbf.... no cross in staging tho cause that would ensue death threats innit?

Kelly  

Janet Devlin - I want it back.. - didnt like it stick to what you know innit..

Tulisa

The Risk - Liked night to surrender but thought they should have owned it more... oh, wait ;o))

Gary

Craig Coulton - We're in heaven / all that I need (crazy key change at start!!)
FRANKIEEEEEEEE - AW-FUL, tonight is not gonna be a good night..
Marcus - reet petite .. nice but would you recognise him in a song-off? probs not...

Leather trousers are not Misha B's friend.

Agreed, should have shown her from waist up only but boy.. can the fecker sing eh?

xx

Frankie was abs cack, best thing that happened to Janet was forgetting lines, hopefully she'll get a few sympathy votes,  Jonny was total barclays his voice change in the song I think is his real voice and the annoying uber camp dross is a major put on. Little mix sound shit and I wanna see the love child of the girl with the stupid face and Lembit Opik.

Trip5. Do I need to pick this week or is my work done

of course, you need to post every week or you will miss the super fun!

Wanted to pick an upset to leave this week, but after the live show, it's pretty difficult to do.  Not because the favourites were great, but because the usual suspects were terribad again.

Frankie  Go on now go...walk out the door... don't turn around now... etc.

Johnny What a limp-wristed (ldo) effort in a week that really should have been up his back alley.

Kitty Again should have been a strong week for her, was expecting a decent shift on Betfair.  I got it.  Just the wrong way.  God-awful choice of song.  GTFO.

My picks this week -

Cocozza - Not even he knows why people vote for him. Oh and he's given up trying to sing.

Brucknell - One of her weaker performances. Don't think she has the fans to keep her safe despite decent performances in previous weeks.

Risk - Shock selection. Not been as good as in early weeks. Going down the wrong road with videos of trying to chat up women and giving numbers to celebs.

Didn't watch the show, but the following statements are not false.

Frankie - Been in the bottom 2 before. Is kak. Hasn't done anything this week that has convinced me otherwise.

Kitty - I've seen Kitty perform in the past and have been impressed but was not impressed by her this week.

Misha B - This week I didn't see Misha B put in the kind of performance she needed to.


Not sure what we're doing for a bonus point this week, I'll take a guess that it has something to do with Pythagoras :
The square root of the hypotenuse of any right angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

I'll go for 9, 40 & 41

If I'm not back before the nature of this week's bonus point is announced then take that as my answer.

My picks to go this week are...

Frankie - He can't possibly hang on much longer because he's abso rubbish and has been with weeks.  Will be one of my picks til he's gone.

Kitty - Was almost liking her a bit with the past couple of weeks, but her performance last night was only average imo and for that, she's gone.

Johnny - He was first on and easy to forget...unless yer playing Sov's super fun game and need to remember who we'd rather forget.

Frankie - he's no good!

Little Mix - They're no good either!

Misha B - Been in bottom lot before, probably will be again if there's 3 in it, you don't become really popular just like that in the X Factor after being an enemy of the public.

Picks.

Sadly, not good enough or bad enough this week - just a bit meh, plus singing first spells trouble.

(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/f.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/r.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/a.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/n.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/k.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/i.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/e.gif)

The whole double elimination was almost certainly devised purely to get rid of him as it looks like everyone involved with the show and the audience can't stand him and he didn't disappoint by managing to murder one of the worst songs that has ever been recorded. It takes a special kind of shitness to make the Black Eyed Peas seem good in comparison.

(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/j.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/a.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/n.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/e.gif)(http://www.apples4theteacher.com/images/icons/animated-letters/t.gif)

Whilst I think Kitty will probably be in the bottom three I don't want her to be so therefore I'm going to hope there is another Misha B type shock and whilst Janet is a sweet little thing and everything she's just a bit uninteresting - only the hair stops her from being as unmemorable as Sophie.

Frankie coz he's shit

Kitty weakest performance so far.  She was bottom two a couple of weeks ago with a much better performance and more people in the competition, so will be struggling to avoid the bottom three this week imo.

Little Mix  Flat as a pancake, and boring this week.

I hope for your sake one of these is right because I can't see you getting any points any way else

hi Mrs H from Scunthorpe posting for Trip5 with this weeks nominees:

Frankie unfortunatley the kid just cant sing.

Janet i just cant stand her and her nicey nicey just makes me want to puke

Littlemix After one flukey week last week were they looked like they actually could sing, they have returned to their usual crap this week

Frankie  He's a sack of shite

Little Mix Sounded terrible this week, and bands dont generally do to well

Jonny Jonny, his fake uber camp voice is getting on my titties

Frankie - just awfulllllll

Janet - she can sing and tug the heart strings, but the last two weeks have shown her to be limited

Kitty - I like her but my mother in law says that her tits are far too droopy for a 26 year old!

wow your mother in law is only 26....how old is your girl friend

how did charlie from the risk not make it through as a solo performer? abs superb vocals

tonight's bottom 3 in no particular order

frankie I know the public are stupid but they have to wake up to the fact he's truly terribad at some point

little mix they've been really good at times, this week was not one of those times. don't think they'll go out but the performance could just be bad enough to see them bottom 3

marcus I still can't see who is voting for him and I want to see gaz baz squirm when he has to choose between a good act and frankie

kitty is only 26?!?!

charlie never auditioned as a soloist - he was with one of the bands that got pulled apart to form the supergroup

I gotta go for Frankie & Johnny right away because every performance makes me naus a little and I don't want to actually upchuck on my new persian.

Choice 3 is ridic hard as once you go past the chuff dodger and artful todger the rest of them are only 2 percent better and all much of a muchless.

Anyway, I think I shall pick Janet - no one has been named Janet since 1972 I thought so for this reason - I'm out.

ah, that makes sense

Frankie Cacodour - I've really tried to imagine a scenario where he's not bottom 3 so I can pick someone else in a coup befitting X Factor's No1 Fan, but I can't. He's gotta go this week.

Johnny Knobinson - He was a bit of a novelty for a few weeks but becoming boring now. Funny, yes. Pop star, no.

Janet Deafdin - This is my outsider. Not a particularly strong performance and it may just be enough to see her in the bottom 3. Don't think for a minute she'll go though.


I reckon the bonus point will be coming up with the best super fun nicknames for your picks. Shiiiiiippppppp!

being in vegas is no excuse for not keeping up to date with our favourite programme redsimon.  Don't you have access to youtube?  Might need to have a judges' meeting on this one.

Yeah - Kelly managed to watch from the US last week.

Tried accessing itv.com/xfactor but couldnt connect. Will try Youtube. OK to amend orignal picks? How long before show starts though?

Curse of going first. Getting bored of the camp act

Just terrible. Cockozza has given up

Not popular enough to get enough votes although do enjoy her performances.

Who goes depends in what order the public votes are. Pretty sure Sing off will be between Johnny and Kitty so Johnny and Frankie to go

just over an hour and a half.  None of the other judges are available at the moment so I'm going to take an executive decision and say that you may, under these unusual circumstances, delete your last post and repick after you have watched the performances, giving original reasons based on your viewing experience.

edit: tulisa is here now - let's see what she thinks....

Tulisa is being pretty stubborn on the no editing rule. Best leave your original picks up for now simon.

Deleted them but I'll repost below:

Frankie. Can't sing

Janet. Messed up song

Littlemix. Couldn't really understand what they they were trying to do

Having watched clips I'd dump Johnny instead of Janet but hey ho :)

OK final decision is these original picks stand, minus little mix which you failed to highlight properly in your original post.  Your Janet pick will also fail to score should she be in the bottom three as this pick was based on second hand information and you have now since said you would not have picked her had you watched the show.  Your Frankie pick remains live.

I highlighted Little mix beige.

Littlemix

[ ] superfun

I'm glad Claw75 has brought up the point of highlighting as it needs looking at.
The point of highlighting is to emphasise and draw attention to picks. I have fallen foul of the strict rules so I hope you will be looking at this closely.

Claw75 - pink on light grey
Gatso - font size in the negative
redsimon - what looks like white on grey

Some classic examples of "lowlighting"

Soooooooo, what to I have to do for bonus pointage this week? plskthx Judgeroooo's...

The fingers crossed picks for this week are as follows:-

FRANKIE COCKiza- Cause everyone remembers how shit he is everytime he sings

Janet Snivveling - Becuase she is getting worse week on week... not versitile enough

Johnny Dazler - he's losing the camp vote and the vocal weakness is becoming more apparent!!


xx

It was Tulisa who mentioned the littlemix highlighting.  I personally didn't remember what it was like so didn't have a problem with it.  Have referred this to gatso to answer.

oh and the background colour depends on what theme you are using and where your post falls in the thread.  My pink would have looked fine on the dark grey in the classic grey layout.

Test

hmm, my test post above is highlighted in beige and I can't see it at all in the theme I'm using so happy to accept that simon did have little mix in beige originally. can people avoid beige in future though please

how on earth you all put up with reading the forum in the default theme I have no idea, it's awful

I'm quitting as judge. can't deal with the stupid public anymore

Public reception there like the one in the Eurosong episode of Father Ted.

does that mean i'm head judge now?

this is what happens if you don't pick up your phones and vote people!

sdkhfowdjofj aftertiming obv but almost went for the risk! Just thought COCKozza had to go!

Pretty good for the show though - boy bands are always meh to watch.

please keep johnny in louie.....not that i watch x factor  ;hide;

top song

Has to be Kitty kept in.

they were the first ones I've ever enjoyed watching

If it's on that final showdown should be JOhnny saved ainec

did the risk get ko?

kitty is a nob but she is pretty good

Did I not get a point this week? I said Kitty isn't it.

you didn't highlight and you edited your post. apart from that you did well

Dear Judges...

How many points to I get for Johnny's exit? Also, did we have a bonus point this week or did I miss it?

TYTYTYTYTYTY

xx

none and no

What is the purpose of the second dotted line?

to shame anyone who has less points than delboy

Okay, Now I'm confused....

I did put Johnny and it was highlighted and Johnny did go so how come I dint get pointage towards my quest in preventing judge clawbird from snaffling the brolly?


 Can you please post the bit where it says no need to bother picking this week as we wont be issuing pointage please?


tytytytytyty

xx

You've been playing long enough to know that if you edit your post then your picks don't count

OBJECTION!!!!!

I didnt edit my picks.. I accidently pressed post instead of preview and went back in to sort the formatting... ???

I'm still geting used to this colour thing so I often have to preview before posting and I sometimes press post instead of preview and have to go back in for a minute or two to sort out, as any new poster itt will understand?

Who can I appeal to please? I understand that my biggest brolly rival & your fellow judge clawbird will also vote a no but that leaves 2 more judges right? Also, what happens in the case of a hung panal? Does it then go to public vote?

xx

Why is Frankie still in FFS!!!!?


That is all. Carry on.

no idea, but rumours that pleno1 has a £28,753 phone bill this month might have something to do with it

My picks were bold does that not count? Not too bothered, but the editing thing seems harsh. It does say in the edit what time it was edited so you can see it wasn't past the deadline. Most edits are just neatening up the post to enhance the super fun-ness for all who read it.

I'm going to withdraw my Labour next week unless TRIP5 gets her points. Solidarity innit.

I love x factor but don't watch it live!

Does the redic results not put people off watching? Not sure I cba to watch it anymore as long as the junkie wannabe keeps on

Frank booted out today for breaking rules

Did he not highlight his picks properly either?

if the protests continue we may be forced to remove TRIP5's 2 points which were awarded in error in week 3 when she also edited her post

Do we get points for Frankie going please?

good question. I've asked the other judges

I feel the super fun has been lost from this competition.

I am actually starting to get this feeling and am thinking about standing down as 'gamesmaster'...

I think you made the prize too big sov. people can't be expected to play just for fun when there's a skypoker brolly at stake

Meh, take em. I'll be off to find myself a super fair game instead...

Mucho love itt's for The Bus, Mrs SuperSmashing & Geordie'waiiiiiiaiiiiii'neil who selflessly responded to my 'please be my x-factor +1' campaign with their super-fun friendship.

Also <3 Tank for Citizen Smithesque solidarity innit... Though to fall on your sword when you have a fighting chance at beating the x-factor system for mahooosive brolly binkaments would make me UBER sad :(

Anytime any of you need your wheels oiling, a pre-record for Geordieshore or some extra run good chippies for Mr Smashing to get up early and make a cuppa though, gimmi a shout ;)

GL All

P.S. GG Frankie wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii  http://xfactor.itv.com/2011/news/story/read_frankie-cocozza-leaves-the-x-factor_item_100194.htm (http://xfactor.itv.com/2011/news/story/read_frankie-cocozza-leaves-the-x-factor_item_100194.htm)

No points for Frankie innit?

Rather oddly, The Risk are currently bigger favourites to win X-Factor than Kitty.

ditto tbh.  too many cooks and all that. just let one or two people carry on with it imo.  I don't like the refusing to give points for failing to follow the rules - would much preferred to have been dishing out super fun forfeits instead.

They're baaaaaaaaaaack.  But who's back?  You decide....

http://xfactor.itv.com/2011/news/story/read_whos-coming-back-to-the-x-factor_item_100198.htm

Can I have a retrospective bonus point as although I got the wrong week, Tulisa is clearly wearing a wedding dress and it looks like Kelly is the groom.

this is very funny....

http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2011/nov/12/the-x-factor-sixth-live-show

No week 6?

snap

wtf's going on around here?!
