I never took the 'joke' comment as a dig at Wagner but more so a dig at the 'sing offs' and the ridiculous judges choices after them i.e Voting off talented contestants i.e Aiden that clearly sung better in the sing offs in favour of people that appear in the tabloids more often.

Also did anyone hear simons comments on the xtra factor? Regarding talented acts leaving the competition he commented with something along the lines of 'Dont worry the best act will eventually win'. I took this as 'Ill fck about with numerous half decent contestants along the way to keep the show entertaining but the acts i presume to be the best will eventually win.

The show has become so contrived, if it continues this way i dont see it lasting as long as it could have done without the fixed judges voting.
