Brian	Complete agree - they've ruined X Factor. Also completely agree - Ben Elton's novel. Throughout last year's series could almost check off each ploy in the book against a similar scenario in the show. In some ways made the series quite entertaining!
Twitter-er	After reading Ben Eltons 'Chart Throb' I won't be watching X Factor or the like again. Although the book is a work of fiction, I couldn't help but realise a lot of what it was reporting was probably close to what happens in real life. Nasty stuff. Oh, and I agree Charlie Brooker is great.
Angel	A better review of the X Factor you will not find.
JK2006	Thanks for that Giles, I'd missed it and it's brilliant. Brooker is a real talent.
giles2008	The X Factor used to be the participant up against just three judges. Now they are up against the baying mob. See Saturdays review by Charlie Brooker in the Guardian Guide. www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2009/aug/29/screen-burn-x-factor
