Is Dalston 'too cool' for X factor? 16.6m viewers watched X Factor last Sunday - were you on the sofa or at the bar?

As a stolid anti-X Factorian I was horrified by the amount of my mates that have turned to the dark-side and ditched Saturday night fun for sitting around the telly, and have noticed interesting chats at the pub continually deteriorate into X Factor drivel - has even Dalston been hit with X factor mania?

I can't imagine the same people who hang out at the Superstore also staying home to watch X-Factor. It goes against everything they believe in!

Either way, no need to watch it live if you have a Sky box. You just record it and watch it when you get home!

SpencerH I think the first rounds are the worst - they signify everything that is wrong about reality TV, basically handpicking people and ridiculing them to the world in a really s****ing nasty way, train-crash entertainmant at the sake of deluded sad and sorrowfully unaware fools who through their utterly misguided and warped dreams of stardom are ultimately victims of the false currency of celebrity, argh anyway, blaa ... I actually don't really care that much ;-p
