I don't watch this programme as it just seems a money spinner at the expense of these youngsters.

Now I have watched young girls crying as they have been told they are not through to the final, then Cheryl telling Alexandra - after making her think she is not through, the poor girls in tears, then saying she is through.

I mean, are the producers becoming sadistic in their approach, first with Weakness Link and A.R. starting the 'insult members of the public' to get high ratings, thenB.B. giving demeaning tasks, I know the people choose to go on these shows and are aware of the possible outcome, but it does say a lot for the mentality of the professionals who take part in these programmes.
I just hope that they'll one day get theirs.

(They could filter through the no-hopers before the programme begins, but there again they make 'good television' for them)

I agree. Sadly there is an appetite for this trash, there is something in the human psyche that clearly enjoys seeing people humiliate themsleves - not me, I don't watch any of these programmes, they make me cringe.

It must be hard having someone as shallow and talentless as Cole dealing with your future.

what a bloody awful program.

I think it should be called the Sympathy Factor..rid..ic..ulous this year's show is.

I have to turn over when they get refused, I'm sorry if I sound cruel, but if there's one thing I definitely CANNOT stand, it's seeing grown women, or girls crying.

What about grown men? They could have filled a swimming pool between them

Nobody makes them enter these reality programmes, they obviously think they are talented, just a pity no-one else does. And as for the crying, its pathetic.
