X Factor Loses 4 Acts!

It was an emotional night for ‘The X Factor’ finalists on Sunday as four hopeful wannabes were eliminated from the competition by their own mentors.

Amelia Lilly, James Michael, 2 Shoes and Jonjo Kerr all had to say their tearful goodbyes. But the show, which ran for an epic two hours, lost not only four different acts – it also lost fans. It is reported that there was a whopping 1 million less viewers compared to last year’s first live shows, with audiences complaining of huge ad breaks which took up nearly a quarter of the show’s running time.

And it seems it’s not just the public who got tired of it all – this year’s ‘tough’ judge Gary Barlow is also alleged to have gone in a strop with producers when he was asked to be interviewed for ITV 2’s ‘The Xtra Factor.’ It’s reported poor Gary just wanted to go home to bed!

So it seems that all is not well in the X Factor camp, but will you still be tuning in? Or has the show lost its own X Factor without Simon, Dannii and Cheryl?
