COLIN HOLMES ..X FACTOR/STRICTLY.

After an amazing amount of time I have finally been able to get back onto my blogs. I put in Google Chrome and hey presto I'm back. Ridiculous !!! X FACTOR. 27TH NOVEMBER. Now it's really boring. I cannot get very excited about a programme that leaves us with a girl group (They're not exactly popular at the moment)Marcus....nice guy....has to have a GREAT single to do well....One blond singer whose OK, and in the bottom two, probably the two best female singers in the bunch. Girl singers are popular but there are so many of them at the moment. Not exciting television. The fast forward button is consistently used. I have had enough of the judges cliches and strange involvement in their competitors. It's a game and one I am not liking to be part of any more in this series. STRICTLY. More predictable television entertainment but it's value always decreases as dancers are voted out. They stir up excitement that doesn't exist. Much more intelligent and interesting is MASTERCHEF.THE PROFESSIONALS . If recorded you can't fast forward the button or you will miss the intriguing content of professional chefs cooking at their best under EXTREME pressure. Somehow STRICTLY should get tougher and the judges should not worry too much about their TV personalities. You don't lose viewers by telling the truth.
