Dermot; what a tosser!

[Zippy]

He is seriously spoiling the results announcing. He just does some of them too fast and you can't even hear him sometimes! The contestants often don't hear him say their name.

Sort it out FFS. So annoying and he really shouldve been told by now.

Bring back Kate.

[Legend killer]

For once i agree with you , you can also tell he hates Louis which i am not too happy about

[Zippy]

Well I like him hating Louis.

But with a whole hour to announce the results he has no excuse for rushing it in such a sloppy ass way.

[Tom]

Realistically the next presenter is going to be Christine Bleakley. I'd like them to bring back Holly and put her on the main show but its not going to happen. Ideally, Kate should come back

[Stacey.]

I know right! I didn't even hear him say Mary.

Kate was amazing :love:

[fruit_cake]

OMG I can't believe this.. Dermot is a god as far as I'm concerned

[Jords]

Kate Kate Kate >

[Smithy]

He's actually told to say them that fast by producers, it's not really his fault, its just because they have so many performers and there on a tight schedule etc

[MTVN]

Yeah, he annoys me when he does that. He always argues with the judges as well, maybe he gets told to or something but it's annoying whenever a judge criticises an act and then he says "well they're still here aren't they" or something like that :bored:

He shouldnt have kept pressing Simon for who he would have sent home as well :nono:

[Zippy]

I know right! I didn't even hear him say Mary.

Kate was amazing :love:

Mary didnt hear him for 10 seconds.

Dermot is just no good at this kind of thing. He suits a more intimate show like BBLB.

And no way is that Bleakley woman gonna present Xfactor. She has no experience and isnt even popular!

[_Seth]

He is being an idiot actually. Why does he keep having digs at Louis?

Kate should come back if there's gonna be an XF7.

[Legend killer]

Replace him with Caroline Flack , i bet you she can go nice and slow PMSL

[Stacey.]

Mary didnt hear him for 10 seconds.

Dermot is just no good at this kind of thing. He suits a more intimate show like BBLB.

And no way is that Bleakley woman gonna present Xfactor. She has no experience and isnt even popular!

Ugh if that bitch ever presents The X Factor I won't even want to watch it.

[IheartBB]

Yep, completely Dermot's fault. Not the producers shouting in his ear or the studio audience. All Dermot.

[GiRTh]

He's on a time limit and has to get thru them quickly. Its not his fault and never ever bring back auto-kate.

[Tom]

And no way is that Bleakley woman gonna present Xfactor. She has no experience and isnt even popular!

Simon likes Christine, ITV obviously like Christine after paying her over £1m a year, Daybreak is failing so they need a big show for her ... Dermot might be leaving to do the American one so its the most logical option

Don't hold your breath for the return of Kate or someone like that

[Zippy]

Yep, completely Dermot's fault. Not the producers shouting in his ear or the studio audience. All Dermot.

what do they shout; announce the next name in a very quiet voice and do it while theyre distracted by congratulating the previous person who got through.

I doubt it. He could easily wait a few seconds and say it in strong LOUD forceful way. Not difficult. His casual delivery is pissing me right off.

[Tom4784]

I always hated him, Hopefully the Christine Bleakley rumours are true.

[Jack_]

It's not his fault...it's the producer in his earpiece. He's just following instructions. The reason they can't hear him is because the crowd won't ****ing shut up.

Dermot's great and far better than dull and too serious Kate. She was atrocious.

[IheartBB]

They probably don't allow him a few extra seconds and simply shout 'NOW NOW NOW!' or something to that effect.

And he actually does say it pretty loudly, but there are people in the audience screaming over the top of him. Mary couldn't hear Dermot because the act who got through before her was One Direction - the teenage fan girls in the front row must have been deafening.

[Patrick]

For once i agree with you , you can also tell he hates Louis which i am not too happy about

'Cause Louis is a cheeky bastard to him.

No way.

Dermot WANTS to do the ******ing sh*t little USA copy version but they don't want him because they don't want that many brits on the show.

[Tom4784]

No way.

Dermot WANTS to do the ******ing sh*t little USA copy version but they don't want him because they don't want that many brits on the show.

Says who oh wise one?

It's upto Simon who does what.

[Zippy]

Dermot won't be going to America. Simon doesnt like him that much and he's unknown there. Simon will want a more familiar face for the US audience to relate to.

[Tom]

No way.

Dermot WANTS to do the ******ing sh*t little USA copy version but they don't want him because they don't want that many brits on the show.

American TV is a much bigger market than UK TV

and Dermot lives in LA as it is

[Callum]

I think he's a good presenter and I like him but he's definitley gotten worse this series. He just seemed in a rush to get the show finished tonight, didn't even bother to tell us the musical acts for next week.

[M X]

You do realise that he is told when to say it?.. It's hardly his fault.

[Zippy]

He's always rubbish at announcing the results. He just is.

And the idea that he has producers shouting in his ear EVERYTIME is ludicrous. Its not always that chaotic. They do rehearse and plan things y'know.

He can't project properly or do suspense. Its a skill he aint got.

Actually, Ryan Seacrest on AI is also rubbish at announcing the results.

[Legend killer]

'Cause Louis is a cheeky bastard to him.

He is only showing him a bit of tough love , Dermot should be honoured

[Zippy]

He is only showing him a bit of tough love ,

He wishes he could show him some tough love!

Frustrated old Lulu.

[_Seth]

WHY does Dermot hate Louis?

[Jack_]

WHY does Dermot hate Louis?

He doesn't. It's just banter and always have been. I'm sure they both said before that they both like each other and get on with each other...

[joeysteele]

Even Mary didn't hear him say her name that she was through so Zippy is spot on, I don't see why he needs to announce 2 at once anyway, cut some of the chat out and there'd be plenty time to give each act their moment as to going through.

[Jamietwo]

i love dermot , he looks great in a suit. i love the way he walks too and his funny little mouth. i want to dress him up in superman pyjamas and sit next to him on a sofa

[Zippy]

He doesn't. It's just banter and always have been. I'm sure they both said before that they both like each other and get on with each other...

I doubt they meet up away from the show. Put it that way.

[Kerry]

I kinda like him and he can only announce it as the bods in his ears say really

[Patrick]

Says who oh wise one?

It's upto Simon who does what.

Yeah, Simon said that they don't want too many brits, and Simon already hates Dermot.

[fuzzylovin]

He said them far too fast tonight, Mary didnt even hear him.

[Zippy]

Yeah, Simon said that they don't want too many brits, and Simon already hates Dermot.

Hates a strong word. He has brought Dermot back this series so I doubt he hates him.

But Dermot's not special enough as a presenter to bother putting him on a top rated new big show like US Xfactor. He was well known and liked over here but over there he's a nobody.

[cub]

Dermot banters with the judges in the same way that Ryan Seacrest does.

Dermot is fking lush, by the way.

[cub]

Simon Cowell was a nobody in the US until the first episode of American Idol.

Simon, Cheryl, Nichole Scherzinger and another US celeb + Dermot sounds like a winning combination to me.

[Crimson Dynamo]

His radio show is also great.

Dermot is very good and because of that it looks easy so people think "I could do that" they then get mad that they are not doing it for loads of money (even tho they could not) and then hate on Dermo.

moral: he is good but you are just jealous

[stewart64]

I think the bloke is a good MC. He's pretty anonymous and doesn't try and take the limelight, the acts and the judges are very much the stars of the show.

Who do you want for Christ sake, adolescent antics from Ant and Dec.

What utter BS. You love Dermot, we get it.

But as a presenter on XF he's has been bland and forgettable. Seriously, he has hardly been mentioned since he took over. His attempts at bitchy banter with the judges always falls flat and looks awkward. The way he suddenly SHOUTS out things in a growly voice is cringey. When big stars come on his little interviews with them look clumsy.

He's just not great at the job. Just about competent but nothing special or essential to the show. Could replace him next week and I doubt many would even care...or notice!

Dull dull dull. And he stinks at announcing results.

[stewart64]

Just backed up my previous point, he is anonymous and that's good. We don't want want to be cringing at ant and Dec or a senile Bruce Forsyth (Strictly) who think they are bigger than the show.

[Zippy]

We don't want want to be cringing at ant and Dec or a senile Bruce Forsyth (Strictly) who think they are bigger than the show.

But they ARE a huge part of the show. They actually bring something to the experience. They add, they entertain.

Dermot brings sod all. He's an anonymous link man.

[Livia]

I don't like Dermot. I used to like him on BBLB but he gets right on my nerves on X Factor. I hate the way he calls everyone "Buddy", and how he does that handshake combined with a blackslap/shoulder bump that hetero men do when they also happen to be tossers.

[cub]

I wish he'd call me 'buddy'. Preferably preceded by 'bum'.

That shake/hug is all the rage if you are a celeb. peter andre does it etc

Hey LT :-)

Hi :-)x

I expect that Dermo (who I like and is better than KT) may say "dude" and "bro" too :shocked:

[Livia]

Hi :-)x

I expect he says those things too. He probably also calls films "movies" and biscuits "cookies".

I like him better than KT too, but really, that's not saying much!

[Zippy]

If the show had a presenter with personality who actually entertained us inbetween the, mostly awful, performances you'd soon appreciate what a great host can do for a show.

But on XF we've only had Kate and Dermot so viewers just don't know what theyre missing out on. A great host ADDS to the show and often makes viewers watch the show JUST to see them. Thats what great hosts are all about.

Dermot is not a great host. Mr likeable but dull. Thats all he'll ever be. BBLB was his ceiling.

[stewart64]

Dermot brings sod all. He's an anonymous link man.

I don't disagree with you. It occurred to me on Saturday that I never notice the link guy, I decided that was a good thing and we didn't get any irritating distractions. But agree he adds nothing to the show.

[alc09]

Post 19 hit the nail on the head.

[Zippy]

No.

He's incompetent.

[Mr XcX]

No Zippy. Kate was SO BAD I am amazed she even kept the job!!!

[Zippy]

No Zippy. Kate was SO BAD I am amazed she even kept the job!!!

She did the links more competently than him and certainly a better job with the results.

But Im comparing dull and duller here. Neither bring anything to the party.

I hate how they did the results too.

who could do better?

do you all realise what is going on in dermos ear?

[Zippy]

Zzzz lame excuse.

All presenters have stuff going on in their ears ffs.

Does that make them dull and incompetent? No!

you are not getting it. this is a live show, interactive with many breaks. songs are sung live and interviews are live too.

few could do what dermo does so well

People just accept bland mediocrity.

Dermot's rubbish at the job. I like him as a presenter, I think he's a good guy but he's not right for the X Factor. Konnie's crap on the Xtra Factor too. I don't want to see Christine Bleakley take over the job. I'd rather see someone who actually knows how to present, can multitask presenting with listening to instructions and can convey the necessary suspense needed for the results to make them entertaining.

well said.

I actually like him too(surprisingly after me slaughtering him) but he is just not big enough for the job.

He was perfect on BBLB coz it suited his more personable and intimate personality. But it gets totally lost on a big stage and he's suddenly Mr bland nobody in a suit.

Definitely; he's clearly a people person and takes an interest in getting to know the acts and I do feel that his interviews with them at the end of a performance are genuine conversations, but he's not good at presenting on a big stage and he definitely does become a bland nobody up there.

[Tom]

I think Zoe Ball should make her big TV comeback on X Factor

They cant have Graham Norton, doubt Jonathon Ross would do it. Dermot is about as good as they're gonna get. Please dont say any of the following Vernon Kay, Caroline Flack, Davina McCall, Fearne Cotton etc. they're ll totally unsuitable.

[Vicky.]

Meh, I can give or take dermot. But yesterdays results show was horrendous.

[Tom]

I think for a male host Steve Jones would be good, very similar in style but more likable and less serious

[Zippy]

Ew no. Too smug and I hate how he does that sarcasm thing all the time...it reminds me of Ashton Kutcher and thats no compliment! He'd be just as dull as Dermot.

[robb]

Didn't like the way Dermot virtually shoved the blonde one from Belle Amie off the stage after the sing off......

[Barbie]

Its the producers shouting in his ear, But aside from that, i really dont like him, so so annoying

Ant and Dec are great hosts, they can smooth over production errors easily and add a bit of humour to whatever show they're presenting. Personally I'd like to see a relative unknown take on the job. I know it'd never happen, but somebody with the personality of Ant and Dec and skills that are up to the job would be ideal.

[GiRTh]

Ant and Dec would be good but you have to wonder they must have been asked and why they arent already doing it. The only other one I can think of is Scofe but he may be a bit too long in the tooth.

Graham Norton would be perfect but of course they cant have him.

Because you mentioned Graham Norton, I thought of other talk show hosts like Parkinson, Paul O'Grady and then settled on the Loose Women cast and just burst into hysterics at the thought of Coleen Nolan presenting the X Factor. :laugh2:
