The X Factor Warning

Has anyone been watching this year’s series of The X Factor? Following viewers’ complaints of the show being dragged out for far too long, it’s been alleged that the contestants have been told that it’s their own poor performances that are ruining the show.

Following a dramatic slump in ratings over the last few weeks, it’s been reported that the show’s bosses have made no secret of their concerns, telling the acts that their performances are too boring and that the public don’t even remember some of the contestants' names.

Many fans were disappointed this year when not only did Cheryl Cole refuse to return to the show, but creator Simon Cowell couldn’t even be bothered with it either! Instead he flew to Los Angeles to judge the American version of the competition.

Have you been watching? Dedicated fans are worried this could spell the end of The X Factor. Are you bored of the show? Or are this year’s contestants simply not good enough?
